Gates of Oblivion - New Chapter/DLC expectations and/or lore

As everyone saw the recent trailers for Gates of Oblivion, I want to open this discussion for what you think you will expect from Gates of Oblivion.

For me, I was extremely interested how they will incorporate the story into ESO. After playing ES4 several times, I see that the "gates" might be another dolmens but with ES4's oblivion gate. I am quite fascinated that the trailer included a Bosmer holding what might be Mehrunes Dagon's Mysterium Xarxes. If you played ES4: Oblivion, we know Dagon wrote the tome and gave it to Mankar Camoran (an illegitimate possibly half-Altmer, half-Bosmer son of the Camoran Usurper) which ties him to the Camoran dynasty of Valenwood in ESO.

I probably don't see any new classes, possibly new guilds that incorporate the Divine Crusader story line? I know that we all know that the Third Era had the "Knights of the Nine" but maybe they will rename it to "Knights of the Eight" since Tiber Septim hasn't established the Third Empire yet. Who knows.

What do you think and what are your expectations if any?

    If we're going back to Oblivion's setting and general plot, then I'd like to see ESO dive into some of the things that Oblivion shied away from. For example, give us some really backstabby Imperial politicking that didn't make it into the final cut of TESIV.

    Speaking of final cuts, it would be really cool if we could see Mehrunes Razor used to its fullest potential. Show us a Mankar Camoran-type character actually cutting himself into a new shape. I loved the Tower Lore from Summerset, so give us more esoteric stuff like that.
