Official hints for the next chapter received

✭✭✭✭✭
I just received a package from Zenimax Online with hints regarding the new chapter. I also just checked with Bethesda Benelux (which are my direct contacts) and they informed me there is no NDA on the contents and that I can publish about it here on the forums.
The package contained a letter, several silk autumn leaves and a stained-glass fragment.
You can find photos of them on my site at https://mastersofcraft.info/eso2024hints.php

✭Damn so it’s 100% skingrad if we’re talking about the southwest coast. Was really hoping for winterhold/solstheimESO YouTube Content Creator & Templar Tank/Healer Main3 -
msetten✭✭✭✭✭Some observations that my guild made:
- Pact probably refers to the Green Pact, given the fact of the autumn leaves and that Beragon and his sister Eveli are Bosmer
- The south-west coast reference might not refer to the new chapter zone, but more likely to the prologue quest which always starts in a base-game zone, placing it probably in Greenshade.Edited by msetten on January 8, 2024 11:36AM16 -

South-west coast could to refer to the start of the prologue quest, not necessarily the chapter zone itself.Edited by msetten on January 8, 2024 11:37AM5 -

Yeah, at first glance i too suspected PAct as Ebonheart Pact, but then - oh, it is Green Pact, not the Red one
As for other clues... Maybe leaves are directing us to Autumn Falinesti Site, Reaper's March? One more suggestion - lamp and something like crescent moon at statined glass. Don't know why, but I suggest that it includes not only bosmers, but khajiits. And, if I recall correctly, Autumn Falinesti Site quest was connected to Mephala? As we knew conclusions of last year main quest and Mephala's role in this, I guess we have some lead...PC EU | Proud kwama in Kwama-and-Sujamma | Doing raids, craft and stuff | Healing bosses, taunting group, damaging AOE-mechanics | CP 1900+

✭✭✭✭✭Actually, I was thinking more the southwest coast of Grahtwood, since the letter specifically mentions Grahtwood, which might be the area near the Falinesti Winter Wayshrine.I've fought mudcrabs more fearsome than me!7 -

SeaGtGruff✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭If it does have anything to do with Falinesti, the Falinesti Autumn Site (as possibly hinted at by the leaves) is in Reaper's March near Rawl'kha. And there's that gate just north of Arenthia which leads to part of Cyrodiil-- not exactly close to the Falinesti Autumn Site, but interesting nonetheless.I've fought mudcrabs more fearsome than me!2 -
HappyTheCamper✭✭✭✭✭My initial guess is Skingrad with a small patch of Valenwood to the Southwest because of…a good hunch.
But I would also love Falinesti. Maybe that truly is it, OR maybe the hub zone is Skingrad and Falinesti is paired with it (Necrom/Apocrypha, Fargrave/Deadlands etc.)8 -
Goratesque✭✭✭✭It still could mean West Weald with Skingrad as major zone and another pocket realm for Falinesti. Just like Telvanni Peninsula with Apocrypha. We are so close for another (hopefully a good one this time) Oblivion nostalgia and nothing can ruin it for me!
Those autumn leaves definitely refers to the mighty tree of Falinesti is dying. Also, the tree in Grahtwood is from the Falinesti tree itself. So we probably start investigating from there with the leaves of Elden Root's graht-oak tree.
I really doubt it suggest the next Chapter is in Autumn. Tree and leaves are Bosmeri thing, so it must be Falinesti and Elden Root trees because they're the most popular ones in Green Pact cult. ^^Edited by Goratesque on January 8, 2024 12:58PMMy Guilds:PC/EU - EP | Skyrim Lejyonu | GMMy Characters:

It's a Mage's Guild Symbol variant.
The lamp could also be related to the Mage's Guild ...

Interesting. I thought of Mora because this is his known symbol:
https://en.uesp.net/wiki/File:ON-concept-Prince-Hermaeus_Mora-emblem.png
Note the 3 lines above and 1 line below the eye. The new symbol is a bit different, but there'a also several lines above the eye and one below. Actually now I think it looks like a mix between Mora's and Mages Guild symbol. Weird.
The lantern's shape is the "common lantern", so that's no hint on a specific race:
