    I don't believe we will see other Khajiiti forms. ZOS has been basically retconning this part of the lore for quite some time.

    And the Clan Mother said, "Indeed, hairless scholar. I was born as Jode was waxing and Jone was new, so I am an Omhes-raht [sic]. My daughter here was born when Jode was waxing and Jone was full, so she is a Senche-raht. Thus we are nothing alike."
    The scholar peered at mother and daughter and said, "You look very much the same to me."
    And the Clan Mother said, "I have heard that those with round pupils have poor vision. It is a sadness."

    https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Online:The_Moon_Cats_and_their_Dance
    On the other hand Ohmes-raht would be easy to add and the anime catgirl look would be popular.
    Now you have multiple Khajiit types and an new race without having to change much. Add them to random khajiit who pop up and perhaps add a few.

    Grabs tail, but ZoS managed to mess up senche pretty bad in multiple ways.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    I will be honestly pissed if they won't continue Meridia's storyline after a bunch of Aylied lore in Murkmire and her role in Summerset. I don't care in which part of Tamriel they'll do that at this point.
    It also fits 5 years "special content" motto since she is a big part of the base game.

    Spellcrafting? But I don't see something as massive as that as a free game update. Would make much more sense as the main feature of Chapter III.

    But if it's not Spellcrafting what is it then? The things I can imagine for either Q1 or Q2:

    - new weapon
    - new overworld skill line (Necromancy)
    - new class
    - new profession (although I think there is nothing left in that regard)
    - additional skill line for each class

    I mean we have to get new skills. So a new skill line / weapon for at least Chapter III is basically set in stone.

    We don't know anything about the new chapter. People seem to think its confirmed to be Elsweyr just because of some characters in Murkmire mentioning it here and there, but its pure speculation on their end. Back with Morrowind, Clockwork and Summerset, there were actual lines of dialogue saying that those areas would be integral to an overarcing plot, nothing like that for Elsweyr. Or any other province mentioned in Murkmire anyway, lol. Until something more is datamined, I wouldn't be too confident about putting all my guessing eggs into the Elsweyr basket. And no, Baandari crates aren't good enough datamining, that could refer to a Khajiit themed dungeon DLC for all we know.
    So the Dark Elves have weird alien architecture, where people live in mushroom towers and the shell of a giant crab, but the High Elves, the pinnacle of technology, the most magically advanced race in Tamriel, are still stuck in slightly pretty, fairly tall stone buildings? Not even a hint of a glass city? Are stainless glass windows really enough to claim that a city is made of glass?

    Luckily the senche mounts and creatures that we see in game aren't of the actual senche furstock, rather a different animal altogether.
    OFFICIAL ANSWER: Moon Bishop Hulan says, “Many hairless ones are confused by the term ‘senche,’ since we Khajiit use it to mean a variety of things. It is used as ‘senche’ and ‘senche-raht’ to refer to two of the seventeen distinct furstocks, or ‘breeds,’ of Khajiit. The senche-raht, in fact, are the largest of us! But we also use the term ‘senche-tiger’ to refer to our more catlike cousins of lesser sentience. Indeed, depending upon the appearance of these cousins, we might even call them ‘senche-leopards’ or ‘senche-panthers.’ So you see that the term ‘senche’ is very flexible indeed, as changeable as the Moons.”

    Mhm so either Elsweyr or for the 5 year anniversary they give us something totally different.

    I mean for Summerset there was very much foreshadowing and it was a safe bet that we get it.

    Looks like we're getting a Cyrodiil chapter. Someone on Reddit pointed out that the broken dragon prop next to the letter represents a dragon break, which makes perfect sense. It would allow for a PvE and PvP instance to exist simultaneously.

    I wish but I'm afraid of how that would be implemented. the implementation may be worse than the cancer which is the animation cancelling meta of dps now.
    Playing your character the way your character should play is all that matters. Play as well as you can but never betray the character. Doing so would make playing an mmoRPG pointless.

    Sooner or later there should be Dragon Break. So what will it break now :D

    While it is clear that the dragon is Akatosh, my current speculation is that it represents the broken Covenant, thanks to that inept Varen guy. Tharn probably has some dodgy scheme related to the Amulet of Kings that he wants to use.

    Personally, I think that the idea of ZOS using a "dragon break" is a player thing. I am not expecting that ZOS will make use of such a thing in any official capacity. It is a weak story move, no matter how much they prop up things around it. At least, not "game wide". I suppose that they could limit it to Cyrodiil. Outside of Cyrodiil, no one pays any attention to Cyrodiil. If they carted Cyrodiil off in the middle of the night, it might be weeks before anyone in Tamriel noticed. :smile:

    PVP Chapter. I consider this a possibility. It would take a lot of guts to make a PVP Chapter. Dump trucks full of guts. They would probably lose millions in sales if they tried that. Well, unless it was also a PVE Chapter. However, they have not done a real PVP DLC since Imperial City, and it might be time for another. Maybe the 1Q DLC will be a PVP DLC instead of a PVE Dungeon DLC.

    What if we don't get a Q1 DLC but something really big for Chapter III?

    And that Twitter pic is really reminding me on Spellcrafting we saw back in their 2014 presentation. But that's most likely just my inner me craving for Spellcrafting since 2015.

    Just a thing I just found. Nothing too official since it comes from the Essential Housing Tools addon. But in the addon, in the FX you can place at your home, there's one called "Sigil, Tablet", the symbol it places is exactly the same from the broken tablet on the Tweet. The symbols from this addon are grabbed directly from the game itself, so it is safe to say this one symbol was already in the game, I can't also find the textures of this symbol in the addon folder. This makes me think that this indeed will bring Spellcrafting.

    The Spellcrafting video from 2014:

    https://youtu.be/3LkeMacg-b0

    Starting at 54:00. Just rewatching it now because the Twitter pic really gave me Spellcrafting vibes and I want it to be true.

    And at 57:50 you can see quite the similarity between their planned Spellcrafting UI and the symbols on that tablet you can see in the Twitter picture. They're not identical but very similar.

    This tablet looks like it hints something related to Alduin and Hermaeus Mora.

    Neither would be consistent with lore. I gave up looking into it when I discovered that the ESO version of Cyro would be a jungle and not a copy of Skyrim.

    If you follow the MAJOR area we first got Orsinium in DC, then Morrowind in EP, and Summerset in AD.....

    Most likely the next chapter will either be something in DC or an entirely new area outside Tamriel.
