It is even more memetic phrase than "Spanish inquisition" for any fan of Skyrim.

The Shivering Isles confirmed! Chees and cabbage for everybody!

Last Chapters had some names like "Plato" - something like WIP names hiding the true zone, all connected to landscape

Might be anything really, from obvious hammerfell sandy-sands to dune being inspiration for morrowind, dune as sands of time (Akatosh), dune being just desert and it could be frozen desert like Antarctica = part of Skyrim etc.

Isn't there a Dune moving coming out this month? Elder Scrolls has a Dune location, so they can get away with it. Just sayin'...

The Dune movie tells us of adventures on "some other planet", right? As for location, I think it is not a real hint. Prevoius Chapters were hidden by some names like "Plato" just meaning a landscape... A "dune" landscape, and other planet... We are going to the Moons?

Where as Blackwood this year was part Cyrodiil, part Black Marsh, next year I would like the same. Part Cyrodiil(Colovia), and part southern Hammerfell would be my ideal.

Sometimes related to the zone, sometimes the opposite. Not sure what Dune can tell us.

Those abbreviated tags are very interesting too (and Blackwood's: oof ) and something I hadn't seen before. Nothing immediately comes to mind for SYS and HI, apart from High Rock which I very much doubt. I'm kind of enjoying that they're keeping us on the edge of our seats this year. In years past when I've been around for the speculation game it's always been pretty easy to figure out.

So it's like

VRD = Vvardenfell
SUM = Summerset
ELS = Elsweyr
SKR = Skyrim
BAD = Blackwood
SYS/HI = ???

This is the only place on UESP's Places starting with S that starts with S, and has Y and S also.

Then HI may be the "guild" name. I mean organization where we will get another skill line. You know, like DB, TG and PO

The codenames usually have some clues also. They are related to the geography of the new zones.

Volcano - Morrowind
Red Mountain

Glacier - Summerset
Snowy caps of Eton Nir

Mesa - Elsweyr
The topography of Northern Elsweyr has a lot of mesas, especially areas like Ashen Scar, Stiches, etc. Basically looks like the Grand Canyon.

Scarp - Greymoor
An escarpment. Mountains sorrounding Western Skyrim.

Badlands - Blackwood
"extensive tracts of heavily eroded, uncultivable land with little vegetation."
The grasslands + marshy swamps of Blackwood.

Dune - Update 34
Someplace sandy ... or the Sands of Time. I'm guessing it's something Yokuda/Abecean/Redguard related

Abacean? It sounds like a good oportunity for some sea-related stuff!

Seriously how are they going to top this year, I mean companions………………………yay.

Dune ? Zero suspense. It's Hammerfell.

The same could have been said for "Badlands"... or "Mesa".

The only one in that list that is blatantly obvious, before the fact, is "Volcano".

But now that you've read Rich's response, you're not expecting Hammerfell anymore. So suddenly it is unexpected.

I agree. Every place in Tamriel is expected, so next year will not be in Tamriel. At least, not the Tamriel we know.

"SYS/HI" seems more significant than "Dune", anyway. Not sure where that came from, though.

I still think that our destination for next year is new Lore. It might be a footnote somewhere or something that has not been talked about very much. It might be on Nirn, but it is probably going to be a split location, like the last two.

SYS/HI = system hiatus

No one expected that!

It is rather vague and we have no information. I maintain Hammefell which is closest to "Dune".

Elsewhere than Tamriel, it will be a disappointing year. Worse than Blackwood which boils down to failure.

Well, technically Elsweyr would be closest because that's where Dune is.

Problem with Hammerfell is that it wouldn't be really unexpected - unless Rich assumes it's on the bottom of everyone's list because they think it's the location of TES 6.
What might be unexpected and Hammerfell-ish are some islands in the Abacean, like the Systres, or Yokuda itself - maybe their last Emperor, Hira, is still alive.

But if there's any meaning to Dune, I also wouldn't put it past them that it relates to the popular sci-fi novel. That would certainly mesh better with the assumed theme of Akatosh, i.e. time stuff.

Slightly "Dune" related; there is a quest giver in Cheydinhal who has you put some "spice" in the Imperial's food supply. When you return to her she says "May Akatosh watch over you!"

What that means though.... I got nothing.

I've been joining the islands line of thought: if Dune is another opposite year so we get a lot of water/ocean stuff. SYS could be S. Y. Sea and HI could be H. Island, but I looked through all the maps of Nirn I could find and there still isn't anything that fits that. Like some others have said, I've also been trying to make Yokuda fit, but unless we use a dragon break to travel back in time to visit Yokuda during the war in which it sank, I can't see a strong connection to Akatosh or other imperial stuff there.

Malfious1986

I think battlespire as its been a long time since it has made an appearance. It would make an amazing mega sized trial also.

If I'm going really out there? Atherius.
