Summerset Isle, not Summerset Isles?

When I first heard of the news of Summerset, I thought this time ZO$ will bring us the whole Summerset Isles. But from the wording of later article Update 18 preview, it sounds to me only Summerset Isle, i.e. the largest island of Summerset Isles, will be included in the new chapter? Am I correct?

I believe we're just getting the big island. We've already got Maui (Auridon).

If they do have more of the smaller islands, they will more than likely be a new DLC.

We're getting Summerset and Artaeum. We already have Auridon. These three are the most significant islands of the Summerset Isles. Eyevea would be part of it too but again, that's already in the game as is Silatar as part of a quest in Greenshade. There are 5 smaller islands that are largely insignificant.

Well, I forgot Artaeum, they must include it since it's home to Psijic Order. I still don't get it why ZOS decide to leave those small islands, hope they will be introduce in later DLC('s).

I think they left them because they aren't of any significance in terms of the isles as a whole. One, Buraniim Isle, is already in ESO and is off the east coast of Skywatch and is used as part of the Fighters' guild questline. Calluis Lar is off the coast of Auridon near Firsthold but not much interest is there. Danil Kir was occupied by the Psijic Order at a time and holds an scrying device called the Psijic Obscuros. Errinorne Isle is off Skywatch as well and makes up part of the main Auridon questline. Wasten Coridale is off the coast of Alinor so it may be a POI for Summerset.

The problem with the forgotten islands... Is that you want to get to them xD. As it was with an island to the north of Vvardenfell.

I wondered if Stirk was one but I have checked and it is a disputed island looking to be closest to Cyrodiil. It is out towards the direction of Auridon though.

I look at Tamriel maps and the main Summerset Isle and Auridon seem to be the only ones shown. If the other isles are so much smaller then it may not be so bad they were left out.

I did think the main Summerset Isle was big enough it could be split over more than one zone. However it seems every DLC and expansion is constrained to a single zone.

I'm more interested in Pyandonea really.

Well, Summerset consists of 3 major islands: Auridon, Artaeum and Alinor. We already have Auridon and we're getting Alinor and Artaeum in the Summerset chapter.

That would be interesting though I'd expect that after the continent of Tamriel is fully fleshed out. And ZOS would need to figure out a lore reason why we should have access to it as it constantly obscured by heavy fog.
