Murkmire; What do we know?

Cazzy

I've not been able to find much information other than "#soon".

Is it DLC similar to CWC or is it an expansion much akin to Summerset?

Are there datamined images?

How big is the landmass?

MajesticHaruki

Take a look at CWC, Hew's Bane and Gold Coast and you ll see how huge it will be. Also we know that Murkmire will include purses of all colors.

LMar

We know that the river has finally brought us home!

It's a Q4 DLC akin to Clockwork, hopefully a bit bigger. It also has an arena for more than 1 person and less than 12 people

Mud and lizards. Some of them will be undead lizards.

A central story line like CWC but with the Hist instead of Sotha Sil. No indication of who the antagonist is, as far as I know.

Guar on acid.

It looks like a lot of the scenery assets have already been used for DB and Shadows of the Hist.

More wonderful Argonian voice acting

considering the game performance issues related to other recent content - yeah...

They started Murkmire years ago, then shelved it. Now they are reheating it. Hopefully, it is at least Craglorn in size, since it hails from an earlier era when zones were still good sized without having to be Chapters.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's a bit bigger considering the zone has been in development since like 2014 and was almost done then. I imagine it might be closer in size to upper/lower Craglorn (since that's what it was originally designed to be).

It will have the lizards. And will be swampy. It will also have a new arena. Probably slavers to get them filthy lizards.

BuddyAces

Going to be smaller than cwc, new crap proc sets for PvP folks to get up in arms over, some stupid arena or a mini mini trial (Yes a mini mini one), screw stam sorcs over more yet, make longer loading screens yet, more crap in crown store, half of murkmire will be gliched out and when they finally release a patch to fix it the servers will blow up causing a tear in the fabric of reality and we'll all die a slow and horrible death.

There was a concept art map floating around... *digs* Here:

It's south of Shadowfen.

Near the western edge of the southern border of the map there is already a road leading south off map, likely will be the land route to murkmire.

I love the ignore feature so I don't have to see more posts from these bait posting scrub-lords.
On topic all I've heard is speculation on the size of the zone. I haven't really heard anything about what the plot will be.

Strider__Roshin

My sources tell me that it's located in Tamriel.

Ohtimbar

I know I'd prefer a Murkmire chapter.

BigBadVolk

There will be argonians

Here's the Zone map from 2014.

New race of NPC's called the "Naga"s:


New Dreugh:


Some Miscellaneous concept art for loading screens:







This is all from 2014, so I'm assuming a massive truck load of changes has happened since then. So take it all with a grain of salt.

Couple of Extra tidbits:

* Dominant creature is the Argonian (obviously)
* It's swampy in the north, upland area in the middle, bog in the south.
* At the time, it was confirmed to have a 12 man trial. We also know now it also has a 4 man trial.
* Was originally intended to be an "Adventure Zone" much like Craglorn before One Tamriel. I assume this means there's a possibility of more group events than your average zone.

I will hazard a guess and say that pretty much everything from the "adventure zone" concept has been tossed out, burned, and the ground salted. If we are lucky, the basic zone map remains largely the same, but there will be all new ... well ... everything else.

stay positive, dude.

The art we have seen suggests that it will be quite beautiful. I'm hopeful they'll have those toxic storms from the lore.

From old datamined Murkmire books I remember reading, the story seems like it will be about an Argonian hero who helped to get the Argonians to help the Dunmer and Nords against the Akaviri, and also whom helped in the Three Banners War, will be returning to Black Marsh, specifically Murkmire, in the hopes that she intends to research some of the old Argonian technology her people's ancestors once had, to bring it into the modern day to bring the Argonians into a bigger part of the world than just the Marsh. The end of the book series about her mentions that she's hoping to invite other adventurers to Murkmire to help in this endeavor.

that argonian is naive to help other people because her people will be enslaved by their former and future slavers after the pact falls.

Perhaps she has insights from the Hist that others do not know.
