...Yes.

What's your point? You've correctly listed several locations from lore and/or previous games which are not currently in ESO, but I'm not sure what this achieves.

Do you think the devs need to be told these locations aren't accessible in order for them to add them in future expansions?
Are you trying to start a dicussion about which ones other players would most like to visit?

Some context would be really useful here.

You're also listing a few locations that don't even exist at this time.

Solstheim, for example, has nothing at this point. Raven Rock was built in 3E 437 (you build the town as part of the EEC questline in Morrowind!), which is 741 years after ESO takes place. Even Thirsk meadhall doesn't exist yet, as that was built in the 3E 300s, so that's still 600 years after ESO happens. The only thing on Solstheim right now is Skaal Village, and they're supposed to be isolated.
I, for one, would hate to see them shoehorn some zone quest in when Solstheim is supposed to be an empty frontier. I could see them making a zone where the only quests are dailies for certain delves or the like, like we see in a lot of Craglorn, and where the zone is specifically designed as a "challenge" zone where everything is vet-level. I do not want a story for that zone, but I could see a daily quest to to the Trials of Aevar Stone-Singer.

Yokuda as a whole also sank in 1E 792, so there isn't much more there either. And besides, there's still plenty of Hammerfell to explore for Redguard lore.
Jehanna is also already in game, though the town doesn't exist yet. It will later be built up.

As to some of your other things like "Aetherius" and "Oblivion," you know that encompasses a lot, right? That's like saying "We could set the game in space!" Ok, but do you want to be a bit more specific than that? I also am not sure about moving off Tamriel when there are so many parts of Tamriel that are not yet explored. I think even Todd Howard has nixed some of those places directly as he doesn't want ESO to be the first to go there.

Nah, I just posted this cuz I was bored and am a huge Elder Scrolls nerd. And the broad descriptions for places were given cuz I was too lazy to list all possible areas. I am very aware that most of these places will take forever to be eventually implemented. But for Jehanna to be merely a dock next to Fharun is kind of disappointing

So, if anything. Yes, player discussion is my goal. Just general Elder Scrolls Geography discussion

I want that gap between north and south Elsweyr to be filled in
