By the eight! I knew I recognised the name! (ESO + TESA: Redguard)

To begin, I love the lore of the Dovah.
This is in no small part due to the fact that Skyrim was my first TES game.
As such I've since either played various games in the franchise, or when not possible, watched gameplay on YouTube.
Anyway... I went to Elsweyr to kill a Dovah for my tickets. No big deal, but I happened to get a golden box drop on my first go. I must be blessed by the Divines...
As it is, I was left speechless when I saw its name. I recognised the name from somewhere... I knew I'd seen it before... Here are the links to my research. The game Redguard is obscure compared to other games in the franchise, but there's a key point here. It is also set in the 2nd Era, some time after the events of ESO. And... It has a Dovah. Yes, an Elder Scrolls game from '98 had a live Dovah. This is why I laugh when people say Elsweyr broke lore because of the Dovah, because, no, no it bloody well doesn't. Not even close.
The chest in question:
https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Online:Nafaalilargus's_Strongbox
Note the name written in Dovah.
Fast forward 281 years later in the 2nd Era:
https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Nafaalilargus
This Dovah appeared in The Elder Scrolls Adventures: Redguard, released in '98.
Now this could all just be an easter egg. But at the same time... Foreshadowing a future encounter with Nafaalilargus himself, possibly? Note, I don't know anything about Dragonhold so there you go.
There are of course already characters in ESO that appear in previous games set later down the timeline. So a Dovah is really nothing crazy in the grand scheme of things. I just wonder... If Old Naf' does appear in ESO, what will his role be?
It's all very interesting for me and I look forward to seeing just how significant this little reference in the current event really is.

Haha, yeah. I've since played Oblivion and Morrowind, and with Morrowind especially I was like...

✭Nafaalilaegus, the Imperial dragon. I remember him well... XD
I also remember how the governor's guards chased me all over Stros M'kai... and meeting my first Sload... aaah Redguard. The memories.
EDIT
You should also play Battlespire if you haven't done so already. Bugs a plenty, I don't remember how often I had to restart levels just because a glyph fell through the floor. But meeting Mehrunes Dagon's Grand Vizier was worth the trouble.Edited by Ye_Olde_Crowe on October 6, 2019 3:03PMPC EU.

I've been thinking actually... The dragon flying over the cities for this event is obviously not hostile, and notably, he's a red dragon.
I think he is Old Naf'.In-game username: Un1korn | Happy member of the PCNA UESP guild (Resident Daggerfall Covenant enjoyer) | Main & basically only character: Crucian Vulpin, Imperial Dragonknight of the Daggerfall Covenant, and Undaunted Bulwark (I tank) | Mountain bike enjoyer and vulpine appreciator | If you know me from PCEU: No4 -

Jusey1✭✭✭✭I'm honestly excited for this. Redguard is the only PC TES game I haven't played though. I tried Battlespire but the bugs killed my experience with it. I have played all others though from defeating Jagnar Tharn to creating Talos in Daggerfall, and being the Nerevarine, Dovahkiin, and Sheogorath.
Might need to play me some Redguard.0 -
