ZOS sends out teaser for next chapter, please help decipher!

deleted008293✭✭✭✭To be honest when we say Skyrim we say NORDS and we say SNOW. So I would really like to see a story that is more centered around Nords of Skyrim, about the center and nordest part of the region, with snow capped mountains and snowy valleys full of dragonpriest tombs and long lost and forgotten dwemmer ruins which are nothing more than a portal towards blackreach. That was one of the most iconic aspects of Skyrim for me.
I wouldn't say no if we are to go to Markarth and kill few reachmen but come on. Lore / quest and exploration wasn't too great. Malkarth though might look great and different than what we have so far. A city carved in the mountains. I got really huge expectation for this chapter but I have a feeling all that will not get to my heart in the end.
Speaking about heart, I think it have references to briarhearts, vampires or... blackreach.

✭✭Yeah it isn't Serana and I doubt vampires are involved. After coming across A dance in fire connection with the Words Led them from the Boughs both Gnarled and Black. That someone mentioned earlier in this thread as a possible translation. A very good logical guess after stumbling across that would be that the content will involve the missing Bosmeri Walking Tree City Falinesti
I felt the connection was so great I even made my own thread discussing it.

We might see necromancers or reachman involved however into the content and the way the map has daedric symbols and reachman looking drawing and scratches. So I think that will be part of the storyline. I do think it will be Hjaalmarch as the chapter location.Edited by Thevampirenight on December 19, 2019 8:36AMPC NA

Well they will have to do some writing that make sense cause according to lore Falinesti does not return until 2E 830. Now it is worded in lore "Returned to Valenwood" so they could work with that but it would be odd for Nords to really give a crap about a Bosmer city. If it is Falinesti that means we finally see Imga since they are on it.Edited by OtarTheMad on December 19, 2019 9:20AM4 -

Dwemer or Falmer ( aka snowelfs) and the latter seems to be more prominent with vampiric touch to it. My guess it's the Skyrim dawnguard dlc0 -

Vampire theme hasn't been confirmed. Its a pipe dream I think some players that really enjoyed dawnguard want to see. But does not mean they will do that. They do have to make the storyline unique. Maybe there would be vampire quests but from what I've seen in the possible translations players have posted it does not scream vampire to me. It does however scream reachmen however. Given the symbols and the daedric alpahbet. Lore Wise Reachmen are so heavily involved with the Daedric princes. Like Hircine, Molag Bal and others. Maybe Falinesti was Molag Bals focus to help draw in Nirn given its connection to the earth bones. As the reachmen were activity helping Molag Bal. It would be likely they might have been able to summon the walking city to them if they knew the proper bindings to do it. So maybe it will follow up with that.Edited by Thevampirenight on December 19, 2019 9:37AMPC NA

No they were always called falmer. It's just that people began to associate the present day corrupted versions who live under ground with the word falmer. They are still the same species. Just the modern day falmer are insane, blind shadows of their former selves who have defaulted to a more primitive way of life.8 -

Dwemer lore suggests differently tho. But then again, we arent completely sure, because some Nord badass had to wipe them from the face of the earth.Huyen Shadowpaw, dedicated nightblade tank - PS4 (Retired)

✭✭Reachmen and undeath seem to be common themes. Reachmen make sense in the context...
Falmer would be nice, as I always found Ancient Falmer lore fascinating. However, you can't really discuss the Falmer in the Second Era without mentioning the Dwemer and from what I can see in the images, there doesn't seem to be anything Dwemer-related. In 2E, the Falmer as we know them would still be hidden deep in the darkest depths of Dwemer ruins, not to emerge until 4E.

From UESP. And we are completely sure, as some unchanged or uncorrupted Snow Elves are alive.The Falmer are blind, corrupted descendants of the ancient Snow Elves that live deep beneath the surface of Skyrim. They are known to stalk and attack intruders in various underground areas, primarily Dwemer ruins. Adventurers can often quickly tell when the Falmer inhabit a place thanks to their odor, which is said to be repulsive. They have been known to come up to the surface to attack the unwary. They are roughly man-sized, but hunched over and "ugly", resembling creatures of goblin-kind more than their own Mer ancestors. They have no noses, only long slits for nostrils. Their ears are distinctly pointed, their skin pallid, and their eyes lifeless and black.
Much as "High Elf" and "Wood Elf" are interchangeable terms for "Altmer" and "Bosmer" respectively, "Snow Elf" is really just another term for "Falmer". The Snow Elves were a proud and prosperous race of mer who occupied a portion of modern-day Skyrim until they were displaced by the invading Nords. Many of the ancient Snow Elves were betrayed in a deal for asylum they struck with the Dwemer. The Dwemer forced their wards to subsist only on toxic fungi which twisted them into sightless slaves. It's the descendants of these slaves who many of the people of Tamriel have come to know as the Falmer, while their grand ancestors are remembered as Snow Elves. The Falmer were able to adapt to life underground, but have lost the sophistication the Snow Elves exhibited. For garments, they wear only rags and leathers. They live in tents and huts, employ traps to guard their territory, keep chaurus as livestock, and utilize roughly-made weaponry and tools. Some still demonstrate an aptitude for magic. Perhaps most curiously of all, somehow their souls have shrunk; unlike all other Mer, not are all of their souls the same size, and one does not need a Black Soul Gem to capture one of their souls.
Few know that an unknown number of Snow Elves rejected the Dwemer's deal and went into hiding, or that some of them survived, uncorrupted, into modern times. Knight-Paladin Gelebor of the Chantry of Auri-El, the only known Snow Elf still alive today, embraced the distinction between "Falmer" and "Snow Elf" due to the negative connotations "Falmer" had taken on among travelers over the millennia, but he personally knew his fallen brethren as the Betrayed. Falmers are cited in Skaal legends of Solstheim as "servants of the Adversary" and "evil beings".
