Two Dominion zones, back to back, would be a little unusual. If they're talking about Sunbathing and warm sands, my first thought is Sunforge. Also, remember, the province is "Elsweyr," not "elsewhere." If ZOS is continuing their clockwise rotation through the map, Sunforge was part of the 2014 QuakeCon video, and it would follow after Summerset that we'd be heading back to some of the last open spots on the Covenant map.

Elsewhere is a pun on the name people often use tho. Alliances don't really have a significance at this point as far as content releases is concerned.

Yes hammerfell is also an strong option and fit well with the rotation, however rotation theory is doubtful as you say.

Only one request: Give us another Khajiit type for it, ohmes-raht would be very easy to implement and popular with its anime catgirl look. Have some others as npc only like the Alfiq

When the data set consists of two points, I am not sure what would be considered usual.

I do agree that Covenant is most likely, but not because Morrowind is EP and Summerset is AD. I believe that the location of TES 6 is decided and that ZOS will stay away from it. I think Elsweyr is where TES 6 will take place.

Tes 6 is likely to take place in hammerfell tho

@Aliyavana,
There's an indirect hint as well - did you notice all that new Khajiit costumes and jewelry in Murkmire? The team is working hard on beautiful cat wardrobe - why? It seems to me, that there's a strong reason!

Edit: I wonder if there's a way to look back on Argonian costumes - when they started to appear, and to find out, if it was strongly connected to Murkmire development, announcement, datamine...

That could just mean that the next zone DLC might be south of Cyrodiil, maybe along the western Niben.

I also noticed an NPC, I think Jimela the captain, say they were hoping to return home soon. Quite a few Elsweyr hints.

@lordrichter

Also, crown crates - datamined Baandari crates!

ArchMikem

Oh hey its that chick. I still havent come across all her encounters in Summerset yet. Stupid rng.

That is actually more compelling than all of the other stuff in this thread combined, and doubled. I had not seen that.

Reistr_the_Unbroken

I want Skyrim to be completed on the map eventually- especially Markarth and the abandoned house

@lordrichter

Here's a link, but it is not in English. If shortly, a crate cover is datamined, and it is called crowncrate_baandaripedlar_back

Also, Xanmeer crate cover is datamined. So, logically, Xanmeer crates first, and Baandari next

Tes 6 is likely to take place in hammerfell tho

Also, TES6 isn't releasing until 2022 at the earliest. Possibly even further out. I'm not sure where you're getting the idea that it's set in Hammerfell, though. I mean, I'm not hostile to the idea, I just, literally, do not know what you're basing that one off of.

If correct, that would put the Baandari crates at Q1 2019 (probably in March), well ahead of the 2019 chapter next summer. It might indicate that Update 21 will be Khajiit themed dungeons.

myskyrim26

Some more datamined things, that could be a hint:

Rimmen Ringtail Wolf - Rimmen!



Rahd-m'Athra



Together with costumes and crates, this could be a hint. But just "could be"...

Wing

I hope we don't go to elsewhere

UNTIL

they can legit do all the various khajiit right, ALL OF THEM

It's safe to assume the Xanmeer crates are the next season after Hollowjack, and if Baandari have been datamined already they would be the next (unless those weird classic crates are used).

Chapters are released in May/June and they have a crate season to go with them (Dwarven and Psijic), so following the pattern it should be the season after Baandari that would represent the chapter.

I think it was confirmed somewhere that we will get 2 dungeon DLCs per year from now on, maybe we will get a Khajiit themed dungeon to go with Baandari crates. Or, because the next chapter is "the most ambitious yet", and the Baandari are travelling traders, maybe their crate season is a long run up to an Elsweyr chapter. I have no idea, but I want to see Elsweyr at some point.

A distinct possibility. They are tilting heavily towards the dungeon content, now.

ESO_Nightingale

We need Elsweyr next chapter as we have a single island and half a zone.

myskyrim26

@Jolipinator,
It seems you are right... A dungeon DLC. Oh, crap, another beautiful and interesting place I will never see.

Counterpoint, Baandari Peddlers, most Ambitious Chapter Yet: Western Skyrim.

I agree, the reach will be awesome but id like to see it as a 2020 chapter.

tinythinker

There's also been a couple of hints about something west of Tamriel. Like this one...

Mavor

Elsweyr as a proper chapter would be the best thing ever in the history of ever.

mb10

Elsewyr crown crates were datamined too. It's definitely there

Faulgor

There are more bits about Elsweyr here and there, like a quest involving Captain Jimila, and trading routes to Elsweyr.

You misunderstand, I mean, The Reach, Falkreath, Hjaalmarch, Haafingar, The Pale, Whiterun, and Winterhold. As in, all of Western Skyrim.

The only thing holding us back from another Hammerfell zone is that we already have so much Hammerfell content in the game (including 2 DLC):

Stros M'Kai
Alik'r Desert
Hew's Bane
1/2 of Bangkorai
1/2 of Craglorn

The Khajiit, on the other hand, are the most underrepresented race in the game (with respect to explorable territory). They just have a starter island and half of a zone.

To be fair, the only three/four provinces we can be certain won't appear in future zones are Summerset, Valenwood, High Rock, and Wrothgar (if you choose to count it.)

Every other province in the game could be expanded. It depends on what ZOS feels will be distinct enough from existing content to justify a price tag.

NolaArch

I noticed this, too! I hope it’s a thing in the near future. Full chapter.
