They are now wasting the Isle of Balfiera to a random throwaway tutorial, with the Direnni tower looking 100% like the White Gold tower no less. ZOS, why do you hate Bretons and the Direnni so much?

That disappointing to hear, I always wanted to be able to visit it across it from Stormhaven, it was so tantalizing close and with all the history of the adamantine tower...

Sounds like they just copied it.

This location should have been reserved for a major content release, not a throwaway location for a tutorial many of us will never even play. High Rock already got shafted by being made to feel dinky and provincial in the base game. Now, they're going to blow their one chance to correct this?
Not. Cool.

But yeah, the only potential new zone for Bretons/Direnni and it gets wasted on a tutorial zone you can't ever revisit.

Bretons could still get content in the form of;
- A Daedric Plane
- A region of Blackreach below High Rock
- A region in Hammerfell

And this lore comes from ESO, it's just an excuse for their laziness and them not caring about Breton content at all.
For ZOS High Rock is something they want to just "get it over with" in favor of more skyrim/oblivion nostalgia i guess, hence the lazy asset reuse.

Well, it makes sense to me cause the Zero Tower was built by the Aedra and the Ayleids (who were still Aldmer I guess back then) still liked them.
What would you want them to do? There is like no Breton lands left and that island, while iconic to TES is not big enough for anything ESO-related. I am pretty sure there is PvP arenas bigger. And hey, at least you're not AD who ran out of land when North and South Elsweyr was released, I guess you can count that sliver of land between North and South but it's a tad small for content

Direnni Tower was not built by the Ayleids.

Content that features Bretons isnt 'Breton content". That would be like claiming Wrothgar is Bosmer content because there is a plot relevant Bosmer.
What Op (and alot of us) want is a nice deep dive into Breton culture, not just a zone where a moderate portion of the NPCs have vaguely french sounding names.

Their culture was barely touched at all. Druids of Galen origin, worship of gods that are not the 8 divines, etc
Uesp’s page goes into detail on them.
