    Adventurer,

    I have followed your progress with interst and deemed you
    worthy of rendering assistance. Knowledge has come to my
    possession that will help me end the misguided Three Banners
    War and restore peace to Tamriel. You shall accompany me.
    Be ready to answer my summons. And answer it quickly...
    I hate to be kept waiting.

    As such, next year’s story and adventure will be something truly special for all Elder Scrolls Online players. We are so excited to be able to share it with you soon, and we can’t wait to see how you all put all the pieces together starting early next year.

    Perhaps this is the start of us putting all the pieces together.

    Honestly, truly "ending the three banner war" would mean an end to PvP in Cyrodiil, so you might not be far from the truth of it.

    Hmmmm, that's really insightful. I'll continue hoping against hope that Spellcrafting is going to be the big new mechanic of 2019.

    My thoughts exactly :relieved:

    That, um, Baphomet-looking tablet is definitely split into two pieces.

    That's actually not far from the image shown in the OP. Obviously much cooler having the dragon skull on it, but still not too far off from the old image of a Spellcrafting tablet.

    EDIT: Actually, I don't think that skull is representing anything Daedric… I think its straight up supposed to represent a dragon skull, which would make this strange broken tablet more like a representation of a Skyrim-style Dragon Wall, but in tablet form.

    Its the principle of the thing. Once bitten, twice shy. If he wants the help of my Vestige, there's going to be a conversation about his behavior (even though he'll probably blow it off because he's an entitled jerk.)

    But hey, at least we get more hilarious Tharn quotes.

    "I enjoy the company of clever, well informed people. You really should try it some time."

    "Your disguise is terrible, by the way. You look like a character from a bad adventure novel."

    "It's only a trap if you don't know about it. I assume everything's a trap. Therefore, it's a challenge."

    To all of those saying, "this signals the end of Cryoland".... they JUST updated the map last update. Nothing major (completely agree) but if they knew they were about to BOOM the entire map, I doubt they would pick the last update to finally give the map an update.

    On second thought, that would be a savage move. I would totally love if Zo$ did that.

    I suppose it could be a dragon, although that didn't enter my mind at first - the horns seemed much longer than usual for TES dragons.

    That could mean that Tharn plans a Dragonbreak to end the TBW, but how? A Dragonbreak just means that time doesn't move linearly any more and different competing events can occur and be true at the same time. Possibly every faction will win the war during the Dragonbreak ...?

    My first thought was that the stone looked like the Dragonstone from bleakfalls barrow in Skyrim. But it looks nothing like that after googling.

    I hope they don't do a Dragonbreak. I've always thought of them as the weakest, laziest part of Elder Scrolls Lore.

    There's another possibility, one that Abnur Tharn is just hoping to end the 3 Banner's War by adding a new element to it. So we have 2 big possibilities to what this means:

    1. This is truly a teaser that a big event is coming that will end the 3 Banner War. This means there will be a huge PVP event where it will be decided which faction won, once and for all. This will also mean all of the PVP lag we've been facing will be taken to new heights of horridness as even more people flock to Cyrodiil to try to participate in this event.

    2. Abnur Tharn has discovered something he thinks might turn the tide for a faction, but in reality, it just means a new game mechanic is being added but besides the new mechanic, it'll just continue being the normal "business as usual" in Cyrodiil. Given Abnur is a very renown spellcaster, and given the appearance of that broken magical tablet in the OP's picture, what could that mean...
    Spellcrafting… Spellcrafting… Spellcrafting!

    The events that take place in Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim are all Dragonbreaks.

    I would even say that, technically, ESO is during a Dragonbreak. Perhaps Tharn is just coming up with ways to alter the Dragonbreak.
