Maintenance for the week of September 8:
• [COMPLETE] PC/Mac: EU megaserver for maintenance – September 9, 22:00 UTC (6:00PM EDT) - September 10, 16:00 UTC (12:00PM EDT)
Akavir. My Nerevarine scooted off to there for a decade or two after tangling with Almalexia and Hircine, so I'd be interested to know what she did there while she was avoiding the fallout from Red Year.
Akavir. We've heard a lot about it and it seems like it's bigger than most/all of the other options, with many different regions, races and cultures, which means a lot to explore.
I'd be happy with going to any of the places beyond Tamriel (and filling in the rest of Tamriel too), but I think a lot of the other places we've heard about would be one chapter or DLC, whereas I think Akavir could be a whole series in it's own right.

Akavir since it has more lore insights about its landscape, who lives there, and what to expect. I'd also love to go to Atmora but odds are it'll be filled with tons of survival mechanics to deal with the cold and I don't like the idea of staying close to camp fires. I'd still love to see it though.
Pyandonea. Because I would like to visit the Sea Elves' homeland and it's next to Summerset Isles. And also the Sea Elves have a lot of lore backing them up to explore their homeland.
Akavir, because it's probably the biggest or at least most diverse continent from the selection. I don't think we'll get there anytime soon, though. The chances might be a bit better for Pyandonea?

I believe Yokuda sank into the sea and so no longer exists as an inhabitable landmass.
Atmora had several expeditions in the 3rd era which discovered it to be almost entirely barren and devoid of humanoid life.
Lyg is a mysterious place conceptualised as the mirror of Tamriel where similar events transpire simultaneously--it's a similar concept to the ancient Welsh notion of Annwn which mirrored the mortal world in appearance and population. It's an adjacent place not exactly a continent for exploration, but a juxtaposed reality.
Questions around the existence of Aldmeris (Old Ehlnofey) are many and with no proff of it's existence in cartography it's possible it is only a myth or potentially lost continent like Yokuda.
Thras was an archipelago off the continent of Tamriel and has also been lost to the sea, even in the setting of ESO.
Visiting many of the options on this poll are impossible without powerful magic and time rifts or some other twist. It would be great to see how they are envisioned, but ultimately, I feel they are better suited to remain enigmatic. Of the remaining options we have Akavir and Pyandonea--from the detail we have on the former, it can only be done justice with it's own game or series of games; Pyandonea is possible the most logical and realistically achievable choice as an ESO option.
Yokuda sank, Aldmeris is lost, and Lyg doesn't exist anymore.
Possible that Aldmeris never existed, and Lyg will exist for as long as Tamriel does according to some, but in the Mythic Dawn Commentaries, its supposed destruction is pretty much just a concept for driving the beliefs of Camoran and his followers that outlines their need to echo the events that destroyed it.
