Two EP and Two AD Chapters, but no DC Chapters?

InRetrospect

Sure one could argue Craglorn and Orsinium and Thieves Guild but not chapters and they didn’t have a full year of dlc revolved around them. I don’t have any vested interest in any faction I was just thinking about it and realized that they’ve been shafted so far. Can’t think of any ideas, but maybe some of you guys have been thinking this way too!

Well only one AD got year long story. Now we got one for EP so you can expect DC next year

Sotha_Sil

I think they said Western Skyrim is not part of the Ebonheart Pact so we can consider this is not an EP Chapter.

Aliyavana

factions are irrelevant when making chapters tho. plus the chapters are largely disconnected from the faction war.

AlnilamE

DC most boring faction confirmed. :-P


But yes, while it was not called a chapter, Orsinium definitely has the same level of content as one.

Where else would you like to go in DC?

Gnortranermara

Orsinium is so hipster it was a Chapter before Chapters were even a thing.

xWarbrain

I think we can all agree it's because DC is the worst faction.

pod88kk

Wrothgar is a DC chapter

Carespanker

but where would dc go?

Into the sea? redguard pirate/meowmer expansion sounds lame considering we can't even dive lol.

Southern hammerfell? eh... ya seen one desert ya seen em all.

the specs of islands of akavir? maybe?? I doubt bethesda will let zos reveal that long-awaited mystery.

The considering every chapter goes to the opposite side of the mapish to the one prior I'm going to say the next chapter will prob be black marsh... and I hate black marsh...

fastolfv_ESO

wrothgar was the first dlc trying to impress players, it wasnt a chapter

Kittytravel

What part of Summerset was an AD chapter? All I remember is being told "Get the **** out." my entire time there.

Same with Elsweyr, all I remember is Abnur Tharn appearing with Cadwell and saying "Hey sup might have broken some dragons free but it's chill I'll fix it just don't tell anyone oh god please."
And then some Khajiit rioted and took back their homeland but nothing about them pledging allegiance to the flag of the United Dominion of Aldmerica.

Now we'll go north into some of Skyrim where vampires and werewolves and leprauchans will fight us for the future of the wintry wastelands while Almalexia continues floating ominously in Mournhold doing nothing.

Neoauspex

Cause who wants a chapter based around 50-man zergs?

dazee

I just want more Darien Gautier. Last we heard, he was being treated like ass by Meridia. Maybe we can rescue him?

Xarc

we're all agree that orsinium was a chapter before they even started to think about chapters...

Chapters are alliance-free zones, which is kind of weird when you consider how large they are.

- Vvardenfell is a large chunk of Morrowind, which is a member of EP, yet Vvardenfell isn't part of EP. Huh?
- Summerset is a large chunk of the Summerset Isles, which is a member of AD, yet Summerset isn't part of AD. Huh?
- Northern Elsweyr is a large chunk of Elsweyr, which is a member of AD, yet Northern Elsweyr isn't part of AD. Huh?
- Western Skyrim is a large chunk of Skyrim, which is a member of EP, yet Western Skyrim isn't part of EP. Huh?

And so it goes.

In fact, I guess all DLCs are alliance-free zones. Only the zones which were part of the original game are alliance zones, with the exception of Cyrodiil, which is apparently the only alliance-contested zone-- aside from the various locations in the base zones where one alliance is invading another, but those zones are still part of specific alliances.

Mind you, I'm not picking at this fact, because I think it makes good sense for the game to have all players of all alliances be welcome in all DLC and chapter zones, and it's also a natural follow-through of One Tamriel.

Southeastern Hammerfell (Most of the hammerfell that is left) is actually much more grasslands/savannas, even going as far as forests than desert.

InRetrospect

Well we’ve covered most of the continent so far. To be honest I’d like to see the rest of the world outside of Tamriel. Break molds ZOS

SeaGtGruff

I think a Hammerfell chapter could be awesome. Hammerfell is one of the larger zones of Tamriel, and there's a lot of territory that hasn't been covered yet, which could easily become the subject of a chapter zone, a DLC zone, and two dungeon DLCs.

Technically, the DLC are a part of their corresponding alliances. They are just further removed from the war and its troubles and thus less is said about the war. Skyrim, however, is different. Keep in mind that the Skyrim of ESO's days is different than the Skyrim of TESV's days.

At the time of ESO, Western Skyrim has been on its own for over one hundred years.
Skyrim split into Eastern and Western halves in 2E 431.
ESO takes place during 2E 582 (which they really should advance the calendar lore wise and make the DLC events take place in at least 583 or something. But... they're leaving all ESO events to have taken place in 2E 582 since players can do much of it in any order that they wish.)

That said, Eastern Skyrim joined the Pact definitively. Western Skyrim may be neutral or they could have sided with their neighbors, the Covenant. Not enough information available at this time to determine any associations Western Skyrim may have in regards to the Three Banners War. That is not to say that they may not add some information with the upcoming DLC and Chapter.

ArchMikem

They aren't faction chapters, theyre just chapters. After all these years the Alliances dont matter anymore.

russelmmendoza

They are making tes 6 in hammerfell.

I think.

Mr_Walker

Orsinium is still the best chapter.

Coppes

Wood Elves has the whole of Valenwood in the game.

Argonians got Murkmire.

Dark Elves got Morrowind.

Nords got Greymoor.

High Elves got Summerset.

Khajiit got Elsweyr.

Bretons had the whole of High Rock

Orcs got Orsinium.

Redguards got Hew’s Bane, smaller? Maybe Craglorn, but there wasn’t the Redguard feeling to it.

Lemurejo

I'm hopint TES 6 is on akaviri islands and next chapter will send us there
