    Don't think its more Bosmer areas as all was done in the 3 1/2 zones during the AD faction quest.
    Exception is if they live other places too, plenty of Khajiit in Alki'r and Orcs in Greenshade.
    Focus on the wood Orcs as they have their own towns while the Khajiit are integrated pretty well.


    Falinesti is still open for a Chapter of content, if they want to have us believe it's been sitting in a Daedric Realm, or pocket dimension.
    I'm more curious where a Breton chapter would take place. We have their entire province, and nothing's really missing.

    *Edit: Maybe a Balfiera Island/Adamantine Tower chapter of content? Direnni~ Flavored.

    BlackMarsh/Argonia is open space right now. The only real large expanses left would be another section of Morrowind, Skyrim, or Hammerfell, but they're probably avoiding that for ES6.

    I go with suggestion #1

    OB-map-West_Weald.jpg

    "The West Weald is an open countryside of southern Cyrodiil, (...) The city of Skingrad is located here. Within its province, the West Weald borders the Colovian Highlands and Gold Coast to the east, and a portion of the Great Forest region called the "North Weald". To the south of the Strid River it borders the Northern Woods region, sometimes called the "South Weald", within the provinces of Elsweyr and Valenwood."

    Im not entirely sure that can line up with the current pvp Cyrod border. (I've roughly outlined where I believe it is) The AD gates are located west of Bravil.

    I'm totally fine with Lyris and Sai getting a "and they lived happily ever after."

    I like the characters, but I don't want to have them show up in EVERY chapter and dlc. There's loads of other characters they could use.

    Aye, I'd love to see what's happening in Bravil. We know Raz was busy out that way shortly before the events of Dark Brotherhood, so it'd be cool to see his handiwork firsthand.

    On the other hand, I'm not convinced that the Colovian Estates would stretch far enough up north to touch Craglorn, so it might be really cool to have a stretch of Hammerfell to bridge the two zones. If they make sure to add gates between these zones and fix the incomplete gate between Bangkorai and the Reach, it will finally be possible to travel from Grahtwood to Shadowfen on foot (as long as you don't mind walking through Blackreach for a stretch of it).

    I wasn’t thinking of it in terms of map space and maybe Falinestri could be found or an expansion, instead of being a whole new map area, could open up complex delves and quests everywhere... Mostly it’s that the elves are my favorites followed by the Khajiit, and of those only the Bosmer haven’t had their own expansion yet so...

    Maormer could also be fun and introduce a totally new local AND race! And don’t anyone start with, but how are you able to walk around town and deal with merchants, etc. — like that would be any kind of big deal compared with the vampires and daedra summoners they regularly do business with! :p

    Surprised no one has made a thread about it yet but yeah, looks like we're going to Colovia next year.

    This even hints that 2021 is Cyrodil, 2022 is hammerfell, and 2023 will be Black Marsh. Part of me is annoyed, but will give me lots of time to save for black marsh cosmetics.

    I would really prefer if they create some new interesting characters for that chapter, instead of reusing old characters (especially that I was never fan of any of Companions) :( I'm curious and hopeful about new content, as usually. But considering that I didn't like main questline in any "chapter" so far, I'm already worried :'(

    Only in Murkmire DLC I liked my "forced allies" from main quest (Xukas and Jaxsik-Orrn) - I would love to meet them again.
    I would not love to meet Sai Sahan, Lyris, Tharn or Varen again.

    I wonder if we get Skingrad for the chapter, and then the Bravil and the Leyawin Blackwood region for Q4.

    I rather have the Nibenay as Cyrodiil goes. It's also a better size for a chapter, because the remaining Colovia area is quite tiny and could at most fit a dlc.

    I wagered that the Weald would be a chapter a long time ago. I would like to see the story of Mannimarco, King of Worms play out there. It would be cool to finally see the Lamp Knights in the game. It would bring a conclusion to Vanus and Mannimarco’s conflict, and tie up another loose end.

    To build off a previous post on this thread, the Five companions may need to reunite fully to stop a plot by Meridia. Perhaps the Lamp Knights themselves are allies with Meridia, and we may have to team up with Mannimarco to stop them.

    Since the Weald is a small space, they could do what they did this year with The Dark Heart and make the Colored Rooms a secondary location on the map, similar to Blackreach.

    Personally, I think that the Nibenay Valley would be a better choice for the focus of the chapter, as it is larger than the Weald, and the latter would be the DLC. Perhaps Abnur Tharn makes a return in Nibenay, as he was it’s previous Overlord. We never actually saw him die, and like Darien, he vanished in a flash of light. He may be an asset of Meridia now, and we may have to face him and Darien at some point.

    Given these ideas, I think it would be a nice change of pace for the story of the game by flipping the script on who our allies and enemies are, having to side with our previous nemesis to face down old friends, I think it would certainly be better than what we’ve been getting.

    While I did not save links, for obvious reasons, last year there were a few guesses as to where we were going, and obviously, most were wrong since they were guessing different locals. So these guesses may be correct, maybe not.

    I thought there were quite a few correct guesses of Skyrim last year considering Sai's parting words about tracking down Lyris. It's been a trend for every chapter now. Razum spoke of Elswyr during Summerset, Sai spoke of Skyrim, and now Lyris is speaking of Cyrodil.

    I wanna show support for getting some new characters instead of seeing the companion circle again and again. I really like Abnur and Sai is pretty cool (although it feels like they wasted him in the Elsweyr stuff) and Lyris is alright, but I'm kinda over them. except for Abnur maybe. It would also make it easier to avoid the how did someone come back to life issue

    Well no, the situation is very different. Abnur, who happened to be a stubborn and experienced battle-mage, vanished in an unusual magical occurance that happened in a game. A game that has brought back at least two characters who are dead to several people. Hiroshima got nuked in real life. We all know what those do, and that's all I want to say about that topic.

    Seems possible.
    Checked out an interview with our Lore Master and one of his favourite bits of lore is around Pelinel Whitestrake so perhaps a precursor story to the Knights of the Nine as the Abbey is in that region (or will be come Oblivion). He seems keen on Mehrunes Dagon and Hermaeus Mora so there’s daedric interference ...

    Who knows? :smiley:

    I did not suggest no one was correct, just that the guesses were pretty scattered. Get enough guesses and someone will get something close enough to claim they have virtuous knowledge.

    Heck, we already have a second guess as to next year's location.
