Elder Scrolle Online & Elder Scrolls Legends

Gidorick

I was looking through some of the cards from Elder Scrolls Legends and noticed there are some ESO assets in ESL. This really solidifies ESO's status as a canon Elder Scrolls lore.

Scuttler is on this sheet:


Ayrenn is on this sheet:


Barded Guar is on this sheet:


Siege Engines here:


Highland Lurcher here:


Hopefully the inspiration will go both ways. There are some pretty cool clothes in there.

Like the Stonetooth Scrapper:


...and the Niben Bay Cutthroat:


It would be awesome to have those styles in ESO.

I'm not saying it's wrong to consider TESO non-canon, because it really is canon, but a spin-off will use stuff from the entire series it spins off of, even other spin-offs, regardless of whether it is canon or non-canon.

I think it's kind of like how you verify the accuracy of a historical event. The more verified sources for the event, the more likely it happened!

I'm just wondering if we will see things like the ice horse and pumpkin-head polymorph in ESL.

I hope they do what Hearthstone should have done and link the games.

Meaning I walk into a tavern somewhere in Tamriel while playing ESO and there is a group of NPC's playing a card game at a table that you can walk up to and it ports you right into a game of Legends.

That would be freaking awesome!

Otherwise I could quite literally care less about a Elder Scrolls related card game...

I notice Merric-at-Aswala is also on that same page as Queen Aryenn so it's double cannon.

A trading card game is not proof of canon. I am not saying ESO is not official lore these days but a side game that includes minor aspects of another game that is debated about is far from "Solidified". But it does look fun and I did register for the beta.

I'd actually dig that.
But the game on it's own? Nah..

The characters of ESO are canon due to the Lore that is found in book in main games. At least to my large knowledge of the lore.

That would be a little too "meta" for my tastes, playing a card game in ESO about elder scrolls is kinda 4th wall breaking. Like Deadpool owning an action figure of Deadpool.

However, things like ESO DLC quest completion unlocking the character you helped or weapon you found in ESO as a card in ESL? That might work.

you may consider it "expanded universe"

That's true @Dracan_Fontom but the question still persists for many players. I for one am very curious whether or not the next core Elder Scrolls game will include things like Guar and Senche mounts. We've only ever had horses before.

Why not, guar and senche are not something that's made up specifically for ESO. In fact it's kinda lore breaking there weren't any guar and senche in other games. They are a big part of racial identity in Tamriel. For example - you would never find a Dunmer on a horse, like ever - they only ride guar, and usually use horses for meat. Same would apply for khajiit and senche and there's more that are not found in any game yet.

SWG kinda had something similar to this. You didn't need to walk into a cantina or any thing, but you could play the card game while you where in game.

Not strictly speaking true. In Morrowind we had guar pack mules and even rat mules to carry things. And as mentioned horses in morrowind were eaten as meat!

Odd how my thread was locked asking about the game but this one is headed to page 2 of comments a day later....

This thread is about ESO lore in context of ESL... and how the two might interplay worth lore... and gameplay too, it seems.

So Yea, it's about ESL but it's about ESO too!

Korah_Eaglecry

I dont see why ESO would not be considered canon. Bethesda has contracted their games out to other companies before and included those games as canon to those franchises. New Vegas is a prime example of this being made by Obsidian Entertainment. And ZOS is directly tied to Bethesda

One cash grab spin off that isn't part of the main series using assets from another cash grab spin off that isn't part of the main series.

@ZOS_GinaBruno , can there please be tons of cross promotions with ESO-Legend?

ESO is a prequel and a lot of Legends material wouldn't make sense to be included like it would in a forward-continuity game like Hearthstone/Warcraft.

Like Blood Dragon. *** him.

Fair point! The lynchpin to this whole concept of "Lore Support" will be the next TES game, whenever that happens.

I wonder if ESL will include new lore. hmm...

Its going to be awesome if this comes to the tablets.
