The Main Island?

Does anyone else think that having an ESO expansion containing Summerset's main Island is kind of weird? I'm not, at all, saying that I wouldn't enjoy the chance to explore the island, because I certainly would. I just find it odd, because I have been under the impression for years that the main island is essentially and ethnostate! That non-elves are not allowed on the Island, and even then only Altmer. I'm pretty sure that there are even some AD NPCs and some lorebooks that mention it as a ethnically pure region.

However, I am a huge fan of Arena, and I suppose that the island must not be a complete ethnostate, at least not during the mid to late 3rd era. Perhaps the expansion will bridge the theoretical gap between ESO and Arena, from a lore perspective, because in the 3rd era, a Breton like me was able to freely wonder all of Summerset without much problem. On the other hand, there really was no lore when Arena was made.

I breathe now, in royalty, and reshape this land which is mine. I do this for you, Red Legions, for I love you.'" The Many Headed Talos - Michael Kirkbride

    As stated it is Ayrenn that decides to open up thr borders. Ayrenn is somewhat more liberal than other Altmer and her decisions have often met with complaints from others

    Alwinarwe, my dearest cousin, I am about to issue a royal decree that directly concerns Summerset Isle. As we have discussed on many occasions, I have finally decided to act upon my inclinations and open our fair and wondrous island to traders, immigrants, and visitors of all descriptions. A copy of the decree is on its way to you in a separate package. I understand that this decision goes against the counsel you have provided me with in the past and probably bends your Altmeri sensibilities nearly to the breaking point, but I need you to stand fast and make sure my wishes are followed to the letter. The Dominion and our place in Tamriel depend on Summerset becoming a free and open land.
