More continents and realms

KimoBitz · November 2016

So,I was reading some elder scrolls lore earlier and I saw the the geographical map of Nirn with the all its continents including tamirel,akavir,Pyandonea, Atmora,Yokuda and Aldmeris.

I had this idea strike my mind...will we ever have the chance to visit one of these lands,will we ever get to see their inhabitants like the snow demons or the monkey people.What about having the opportuinity to travel to other realms beyond mundus,oblivion perhaps.I know its too much but take a glimpse at WOW look at the size of the map.ITS HUGE,you got different dimensions and places to go and see and this is what adds immersion to an MMO

We get to visit parts of Oblivion already, and I expect we may see more of this in the future.

Other continents though? Possibly? But probably very far off in the future. There is much of Tamriel we still don't have access too.

Yeah I get you but maybe in like 5 years we may get a new continent? who knows ?

idk · November 2016

Zos will slowly add areas over time in DLC updates. Theoretically speaking the entire map will be opened up eventually though that will be years.

The focus of TES games so far has been Tamriel... but I wouldn't be surprised if, once all the provinces are exhausted for the single player games, the devs start looking at Akavir or something. At the least, a future quest could transport you there in a dream sequence or something.

Though, lore-wise, a couple of these continents aren't really feasible. Yokuda sank into the sea, and there is debate on how much of what we know about Atmora and Old Aldmeris is fact and how much is myth.

As for the Oblivion realms... yeah, those already feature prominently. TES IV: Oblivion, in particular, had a plot that led you through the Deadlands of Mehrunes Dagon, as well as an expansion pack that took place entirely in Sheogorath's Shivering Isles (and is the origin of the much beloved/detested Scottish Sheogorath). And let's not forget, there's an MMO where you muck about Coldharbour.

That said, I think the Oblivion realms are better left as "frequently visited, but not lived in." Their strangeness to our mortal perceptions is what makes them the Oblivion Realms. They're not supposed to feel like home.

With maybe the exception of the Shivering Isles. Because let's face it; Mania is beautiful.

Well, the previewed Orsinium and Black Marsh at the same time two years ago and we have yet to see Black Marsh, plus there are plenty of other zones left to go on the continent we are playing on. Don't see why we should expect any other continents and it seems to be ES tradition to leave them a mystery anyhow.

Rosveen · November 2016

Aldmeris never existed as a separate continent. Atmora is all frozen over. Most of Yokuda sank. Just so you know what's off the table. However, Tamriel is at the heart of this world and these game, so this is probably where we'll stay (with occasional excursions to Oblivion and the like).

Code2501 · December 2016

We don't need to go elsewhere to see Akiviri. In the time of eso there are Akiviri in tamriel.
Tamriel of this age has just come out of an akiviri invasion and there are akiviri refugees documented to be occupying the kingdom of Rimmen in Elswyr. There is also due to be a second attempted akiviri invasion due to happen "some time before 2e 812" by the Kamal.

We already have a snow demon: @Abeille

I agree. I've commented on how much I want this to happen every time someone posted about it.

Can't wait to have a Tang Mo and make him wear a pumpkin mask dyed aquamarine.

You mean Murkmire. Black Marsh is the name of the province which part of it is in the game already. The zone Shadowfen is a part of Black Marsh.

mb10 · December 2016

Lol lets complete Tamriel before thinking about another continent.

Havent seen Elsewyr, Summerset Isles and Black Marsh properly yet.

ArchMikem · December 2016

I think it's called "Tamriel Unlimited" for reason. That, contrary to the name, the game is in fact limited to Tamriel, (as well as a few places of Oblivion of course)

We can't even go to Yokuda, the whole continent is gone.

Let ZOS fill up the map of Tamriel first before we go anywhere overseas.

My Cryomancer will remember that.

On topic, I would like to visit these places but I do not think ESO will be the TES game to take us there first. I think that, if we go to any of these places, it will first be on a game of the main series before it happens here.

Before that happens, we will be limited to the areas of Tamriel. And that's already a big thing, since almost all of Tamriel didn't show up in a TES game since Arena.

I think any big changes will be made first in the main series and then on ESO, if this game lasts long enough. For example, the introduction of playable races. I imagine that ESO won't introduce the Maormer as a playable race until it happens on the main series.

But of course, this is just speculation.

If we get to travel to other planes of Oblivion besides Coldharbour and the Spiral Skein, I defo wanna see Moonshadow

We need to go wherever Darien is

He is going to be the prettiest princess we will rescue (Tharn can eat his heart out).

I think Darien's soul is either in Meridia's realm, or in Aetherius, cause, y'know, he died.

Vorcil · December 2016

Let them finish off Tamriel first;

Skingrad next!

I would love to see Skingrad. Anvil and Kvatch were really well done.

He didn't die! I don't want to hear that, stop ç-ç

He is fine. He is okay, Meridia is just hiding him away, keeping him all for herself. I'm getting him out! Someone send a courier to Gabrielle and Skordo! Also to the Great Mage, if he isn't too busy. We are doing this.

Pyandonea maybe. Atmora's a frozen hellscape, Yodukda got sunk, and Aldmeris isn't real.

Akavir? When pigs conquer Nirn.

Debatable.

But I agree that we have little chance to go there or anywhere outside of Tamriel that isn't a plane of Oblivion.

I'm not sure I've quite nailed down the perfect look for my particular Ice Princess:

But I'll follow your example.

Publius_Scipio · December 2016

Didn't Yokuda sink a long time before ESO? Maybe first era if not even earlier?

The Yokudans sailed over to Tamriel and in name they became the Redguard.

Enslaved · December 2016

Maybe we can get con crates exclusives in here, too. Imagine, Murkmire in a crate, or 4000 con gems. Beautiful, my eyes are bleeding form joy.

Galwylin · December 2016

My eight ball says yes but probably not till the Tamriel map is filled in. I do wonder what sort of areas those will be since everyone will probably be well into their champion points by then. Will that affect their design in some way? But other continents... maybe a quest that takes you to a small area like that one where we visit a small section of Skyrim but just a small area so you can't reach the Rift from it as such.

It was real, it just wasn't what people think it was. Which means we still can't go there.

nordsavage · December 2016

Any maps you saw are most likely fan based estimations or fiction. I really do hope the ESO is not the ES game to crack into another continent.
