Crazy theory The Strip of Central Elsweyr.

TheNuminous1

What if. Bear with me.

What if they are using the western part of the central strip to be connected to grahtwood.

So make it sorta reapers march pt2.

With the west having new bosmer stuff *furnishings architecture quests lore
And the east being torval and the thick tenmar jungle.

It would be ironic to have a split race zone. Which we haven't seen I believe since reapers March and bangkorai.

And could possibly be one of the only ways we get to play in DLC style bosmer lands.

*extra crazy theory
They add in an aubis style zone (clockwork, artaeum) that is a khajiiti temple oh baan'dar leading to falinesti!!!

This could address new bosmeri assets.

The missing strip of land between anequina and pellitine

Falenesti

A dense tenmar jungle and torval, also introduce the mane again.

Even introduce imga which according to some went away to falenesti

And give us new bosmer styles and maybe more khajiit ones.

Anyways thought ideas!?!? Haven't seen anyone with this theory yet and it all just came to be when I was looking at the map and the border of elsweyr and valenwood.

I'm hoping it's some sort of "lost valley of the dinosaurs" where they can hopefully insert in a lore-friendly way some throwbacks to explore.
Maybe do a Doug McClure style exploration team sort of fun mini-DLC

The answer is far more likely to be related to the difficulties the story about the Mane in the EP storeline introduces, which if true makes it extremely unlikely that we'll ever see that part of Elsweyr in the game.

While I am hoping for some DLC covering "the strip" someday, and yes, would like to see a grahtwood connection there... considering the space available, this is more likely to be a guild-sized DLC sometime that starts there then sends peoplei all over older regions. Bandaari merchants guild, perhaps? Like: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/387560/additional-guild-ideas-mk-ii

Well, Falinesti is -definitely- DLC-worthy, and yes, indeed a good place to introduce Imga and more crafting styles (Additional bosmer and imga, naturally, possibly others depending on where exactly it went...). But... that one is much better done as "extra-planear" DLC much like ClockWorkCity... way more options to play with, naturally. But yes, someday it should come to that!

You mean Black Marsh? Where the dinosaurs grew up to become argonians?

But seriously, if we were to go "lost valley" we need to look at the -least- explored region of tamriel, and that IS Black marsh, due to... uhm... mashyness? And Flu? But... seeing how we -kinda- had that "lost city" shtick in the Murkmire story already...

Anyhow, Elsweyr is populated by curious kitties (literally in the case of Alfiq) who certainly have explored every nook and cranny, so, little chance at lost valleys there without some serious magic I guess... (BtW, Khajiit are also the proof Nirn is a globe - because if it was a flat disk, they'd have pushed everything off the edge by now... )
