Is there not any Ancestral Dunmer motifs?

I've looked through all the appearance styles as well as the lead list and I haven't seen anything about an Ancestral motif for Necrom. Seeing Ancestral Dunmer/Chimer armor was something I was really looking forward to for this expansion, especially since the projection of Nerevar in the Clockwork City could be in something other than Ancient Elf/Ayleid/base-game-Maormer armor. Is it being delayed due to all of the leads that are already in the Telvanni Peninsula zone? Maybe it'll be a reward from the endless dungeon?

To my knowledge, this is the first time since antiquities were added that an expansion zone didn't have an ancestral style; and the second time a new map didn't have an ancestral motif (first being Galen). Lost tomes of ancestral knowledge would've been perfect for the expansion focusing on Hermaeous Mora and the ancestor-worshipping Dunmer.

Maybe they were in the Indigo Tomes Ayrenn stole :smiley:

    no. honestly i am pretty glad there isn't another antiquity motif because they are very annoying to get.
    though it would have been nice to have a daily quest motif essentially be ancestral dark elf like house hexos

    I'm pretty disappointed not to see Ancestral Dunmer. I really hope they add it.

    I agree with you there. Antiquity locked motifs are a pain compared to House Hexos. I just more want there to be an Ancestral Dunmer motif more than it being antiquity specific

    Antiquity Motifs are usually added an update or two after the chapter releases.

    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    I’m pretty sure every ancestral motif has released at launch of their respective dlc. It’s the other motifs (crown store ones) that get delayed.

    That's actually worrying me as I sure hope new chapter styles they've described as a new spin on old dunmeri style in one of their eso live events isn't our "hexos" this time, as they are really underwhelming style and quality wise to me personally. Hope to be proven wrong in the future, can't be too many of dunmer racial styles.

    I know this is a year old thread but as everyone knows, Necrom DLC has passed, a new Cyrodiil based DLC is coming, and this style hasn’t been added

    Ancestral Dunmer, ancestral Khajiit, ancestral Bosmer ancestral redguard and ancestral argonian are all missing from the game. The first three would probably be the most eagerly anticipated I imagine, and like the other ancestral motifs these are SUPPOSED to be upgraded fresher versions of the base game styles in Tier 5 style (this was the case for altmer orc nord etc)

    Please whoever is deciding when these get made and released, consider releasing them al together in antiquities or an alternative system (maybe something new!) so that it’s fair for all the races to have their tier 5 versions

    I am dying for the tier 5 bosmer daggers (Gwendis uses them) and now, and the tier 5 dunmer staff which Valaste carries in game! It’s torture to see it for years and not be able to equip them yourself.

    Devlopers, try to be consistent please, and add all these styles which I’m sure can easily be designed and released.

    Huh, yeah I wouldn't mind an ancestral khajiit motif at some point.

    Always liked the hard-leather hock/bell-bottom design of the sabatons. Goes great with the Thieves Guild Greaves.
