Exactly. Source please.

All I know is that apparently someone on the found information about all this.

UESP's polices
I believe prevents this type of information from being added on the UESP and given the context of it we wouldn't do that, I sure wouldn't. But Fandom looks to have no such restriction and this editor released articles on the Fandom.

So basically all of this apparently comes from a text file hidden within the data and given we got a twitter post showing an ocean by Zenimax, I think its safe to assume that the information is accurate. We will have to wait for the reveal though, as anything is possible still.

The High Isle "leak" is really interesting, for those that don't know this guy has posted names of the new zone, dungeons, trial, and locations and they all seem entirely plausible like I wouldn't be able to come up with a cool-sounding name like
But it's also entirely unsourced and unconfirmed by any other data miner.
I certainly cannot find what he's talking about in the files, and another data miner likewise cannot find anything in the files aside from "ESO: Dune" next to "U34 Treasure Maps", which is easily found in the language files.

Then there as a post on 4chan which says
Which whilst it's 4chan, and entirely unsourced, sounds exactly like ZOS's writing, and they both agree on the chapter/ 1 dungeon name.

Additionally, the name "High Isle" was only ever included in the game in one book with The Deadlands DLC.

So it's either true, which is interesting, or a fantasy writer that started coming up with really plausible sounding names after reading the book which included High Isle, and I am not sure which is more likely.

Additionally, there's the point made by Bill Slavicsek on the German twitch stream saying Jakarn is in the prologue/ chapter, which points to it being Breton focussed.

None of these outlandish theories are true. Unless they are. - http://en.m.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:The_First_Gleaner

Its not found in the language files, its found deeper in Zos.tf or whatever that means. So its not an easy to find thing. I have no idea I'm not a dataminer. All I know is this information is out there and I'm just wanting to build up hype for something that I'm hyped about. I'm Hyped either way for new Breton Content or Hammerfell Redguard content.

This "High Isle" won't be the chapter zone, I doubt their is some island we have never heard of that is large enough to host a yearly chapter, if anything it will be a prologue location like Grayhome.

When looking at the map of Tamriel, Hammerfell is the only country that has neither been featured in a chapter or chapter-sized DLC, nor fully explored at some point. Also, Matt Firor's 2021 retrospective told us they'd be concentrating on a playable race that hasn't received "a full cultural and historical deep dive". That rules out anyone outside of Tamriel, although we could still see some Maormeri characters.

Maybe the datamined stuff has to do with dungeon DLC or a prologue? Plus, it wouldn't be surprising if characters from the Covenant storyline made a return for an adventure in Hammerfell.

While Hammerfell would make the most sense to do it, there is likely another reason why we won't see much of it if any of it, until after 2024. TES 6, which has a very very very very high chance of being Hammerfell. I feel like Zenimas has been avoiding it because of that fact. I do believe they know the location, while apparently they are not barred from doing it. It would make sense for them to avoid it. So they can see what Bethesda is officially doing with it and go from there. So if they are not doing Hammerfell this year, then its in my mind confirmed that is the TES 6 location as why else would they avoid doing it?

I hope it is so they're no longer so boring. I find them fascinating and would love their lore to be expanded upon.

ESO already has several zones in Hammerfell

- Alikr Desert
- Southern bangkorai
- Craglorn
- Hew's Bane

Yeah, but I was referring to the major areas of Hammerfell that are still open for possible zones.

I voted Pyandonea, because of the official Twitter account posting a photo of a sea in a storm, and because Rich said in an interview we're going 'somewhere people don't expect', so it might be outside of Tamriel, and it would be super cool!

Yea some gaming sites are already saying Pyandonea.

All I know is that apparently one of the patrollers and editors for the fandom and who is also an editor and patroller on the UESP, found a text file that listed various areas and locations, and assets. Not in the game yet but listed in some type of text file found within the data. Then did pages on the fandom, revealing the information found in prelease articles.

Now I trust the editor, didn't make a big mistake given his roles he plays and serves for both the Fandom and the UESP. UESP's polices

Oh wow, this basically contains all the zone details already plus the two dungeons for DLC in Q1 and the trial for the Chapter, too. The only thing it's missing is the feature of the Chapter - and there better is one after the very lackluster features in 2020 and 2021.

High Isle sounds very intriguing and I love the Breton stuff, so totally up for more of that.

OMG finally a group dungeon located in Summerset! It'll better be good and visually stunning! Can't wait!

I’m worried, and I’ll wager the only thing we get today will be the date for the release trailer and live stream event. No actual content.

The announcement for the announcement’s announcement announcing the new chapter.

I hope it is Breton content just so that we can put this misconception about Breton culture to rest.

The only reason they're seen as boring at the moment is because base game High Rock content stripped out most of their interesting cultural quirks, making them seem barely any different from Imperials and Nords (probably due to it being created before they appointed a Loremaster). Go back to TES2 and there's a load of interesting Breton content to explore.

Same with base-game Direnni just effectively being amalgamated into the Ayleids for that matter (where are all the Direnni ruins?), but they got a bit of a reprieve with Summerset and the new Tutorial.

Exactly the same thing happened to Imperials in TES4 - all the cultural diversity between Colovia and Nibenay was basically ignored and relegated to a bit of dialogue and a couple of loading screens.
