So I’m trying to figure out possible locations for Q3 DLC dungeons just for fun. I think it’s safe to say that the new dungeons have to meet the following two requirements:

1. Be somewhere in or close to Western Skyrim since presumably they will be tied with the Dark Heart of Skyrim main story like the last year’s Q3 dungeons were tied with the Season of the Dragon story.
2. Be in a zone where we haven’t had DLC dungeons yet as ZOS has never added DLC dungeons to the same zone in more than one update.

Now, of course, there’s always a possibility ZOS may surprise us and do something different this time but I would say it’s safe to assume that probably won’t happen and the new dungeons will likely meet the above mentioned requirements.

Where does that leave us? The zones that are close to Western Skyrim are Wrothgar, Bangkorai, Craglorn, Cyrodiil, Eastmarch and the Rift.

Of course, Wrothgar and Bangkorai had new dungeons in the Q1 DLC so they are most likely out. Craglorn and Eastmarch also got DLC dungeons in previous updates. Cyrodiil is a possibility (we have a precedent with group dungeons in another PvP zone - Imperial City) but it just doesn’t seem likely to me.

So that leaves us with the Rift and, of course, Western Skyrim itself. I don’t have any theories on possible locations for a dungeon in Western Skyrim but one obvious location for a group dungeon in the Rift is definitely High Hrothgar.

I’m not sure what the story for such a dungeon could be since the Greybeards don’t have any connection to the Grey Host, nor do they seem to have anything that could be of value to them. Still, I thought it was worth sharing this theory and invite everyone here to speculate together.

So what do you guys think of High Hrothgar possibly being a group dungeon? Do you have any other theories on locations for the next DLC dungeons?
