Naval siege PVP?!!

Jokes aside, I just imagine a DC proc on one of those ships, during boarding fight

I can proc DC with my ground-targeted cannon fire, right?

Theory time!

The island called 'High Isle' or whatever, is set inside the Maelstrom of Bal, hence why no one has heard of it before. The Bretons on that island are isolated from the rest of Tamriel.

The Maelstrom of Bal is a naturally occurring phenomenon that exists in the vastness of the Abecean Sea. It is said to "make ships disappear" and may be one of the doorways into the realm of Oblivion.

The doorway into the realms of oblivion makes sense from the point of view of this book en.m.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:The_First_Gleaner

Saying Pieron doesn't go to Nirn? He just returned from High Isle with an amazing haul

Stating High Isle is on nirn, not necessarily Tamriel.

In the trailer the character we see is a Breton, they're wearing Breton heavy armor. They strike the ships off the map just before seeing them be destroyed by the waves and weather, not cannons etc. They are so sure they will not make it through the maelstrom to the island. This is very similar to what seemingly happened to the lost fleet especially how there are 3 ships sailing to this Island, each ship representing each alliance.
Left AD, centre DC, right EP.

Also whilst I have your attention


Holy [snip], that looks beautiful. And the art style is very Breton/ French/ West (Gold) Coast of Tamriel esque.
And the rock looks very similar to the kind of limescale rock found in Summerset, which fits the location of the Maelstrom of Bal.

As early as January 27? Why so late? Usually the chapter announcement was always much earlier. Q1 dungeon dlc should already be in February.

No, it was always this late.

Super excited for this! So the leak is true and we're indeed going to

High Isle, Northwest of High Rock

HYPE!!!!! I love anything to do with ships, oceans, etc!

How can they be so blatant in ripping off the GOT’s music. I’m embarrassed for them and ashamed of being a player now. I hope ESO has a better ending.

Sorry, what? It’s the usual ESO theme with a nautical/piratical twist - piccolo/flute bits. It’s what they do every time - main theme with a twist.

The war room does remind me quite strongly of Dragonstone though.

Wonder if Spellcrafting will finally be released with this new chapter. Looking forward to seeing all of the QoL improvements as well. But please, do not change LA/HA like you planned before with how damage & regen worked.

Bretons and Spellcrafting would be such a great combination I'd faint like a silly little fanboy.

This resembles a Sea Serpent quite a bit... Maormer confirmed?

That's pretty clearly a reworked version of the Breton Heavy Armor, IMO. They also have curlicues and such on the plating.

Awesome! We're going to Porto Fino!

But don’t see the ships destroyed. Just dealing with very bad conditions!

Combined with scaly-bits on the back lower part of chestpiece and fur on pauldrons? Doesn't seem too breton to me, unless it would be extremely "ancestory".

The original has scaly bits too. And I agree the fur on the pauldrons is new, but I can imagine this being the Ancestral Breton motif they never released (like the others.) Either way, it's far from the Maormer aesthetic and so is the architecture.

They will have to get there and that's where the story starts, obviously, they have to get there for the player to get there.

The point is the character in the trailer is so sure of their destruction that they swipe them off the map with their sword.

IMO they are so sure they will be destroyed by the waters because nothing else has survived it in many many years, why would they think these ships would be any different.

Hoo boy! Way cool, even if it's not Yokuda.... But that village spilling down the cliffside.... reminds me of areas of the Mediterranean - *salivating*!

Yeah, I'm getting Amalfi Coast flashbacks. Looks like a gorgeous setting. Maybe a heretofore-unknown island somewhere in High Rock?

Ha, that's exactly what I said in the other thread. I even held up a picture of Amalfi, and it's a dead ringer.

Bad guy's armour looks like Ancestral Breton armour (unreleased), the icon for the helmet looks pretty similar

I see much of this too, The three ships, the sword wiping the table clean and them the ships appearing to disappear/sink in the ocean but does anyone notice at 0:48, the armor looks like its forming up around female breast, the way it curves above the belt line? Also at 0:52, the waist seems a bit thinner than what a male character would have...

All in all, I'm read for this next chapter and hyped.

I got more of a frustration vibe - annoyance rather intended destruction.

I love the music in the teaser. I can still hear the traditional Elder Scrolls theme to it along with a wonderfully happy twist to it.

Punches_Below_Belt

How can you not hear the GOT’s drums and crescendoing strings.

You're very right it certainly could be, yeah.

@PrimusTiberius Not really. If we say it is indeed a breton armor then this "forming breasts" is normal. European armors always had that extension on the torso, because you need it to be able to dent.

Also I throw the city of Rihad in. On most Tamriel maps it looks like a river there, but on the ESO Map with the regions shown its a bay.

amapola76

While we are here, I would just like to take the opportunity to BEG to finally get at least one more new character slot with this chapter. It has been years, and I am already dying to create new characters to start here.

udaba

Im so hyped right now .
I really hope for some ship battle on open sea and sea questing with crew.
I really wait for a PvP fix too.

xaraan

Here's hoping this breaks the cycle for me and peaks my interest in the game again.

Going off the map?

I hope not. Map has a lot of empty spots left. It would be silly for ZOS to "add new map" before filling in the gaps on the current map. Places like Solstheim, almost the of entire Black Marsh or Eastern parts of Morrowind (Telvanni home land ?) are still left empty and would certainly make for a good story zone / chapters.

I would love for the map to be fixed. #WhereIsWinterhold

Looks like a Hammerfell coast with a Breton style armor. Finally, Daggerfall will have an expansion (although Craglorn and Orsinium could count as one).
