Fargrave Plaza of Portals & Night Market

BloodstainedFay · January 25

Hello!

With the addition of the Night Market, a sub-zone of Fargrave accessible via portal, I believe it's no better time than now to once more ask about the Plaza of Portals in Fargrave. Fargrave was written as this city where the boundaries of Oblivion & Mundus grow thin, where traveling between realms is much easier. And yet, in the Plaza of Portals we have...3 Portals. Two go to the Deadlands, and One goes to Leyawiin. And there's a navigator npc which sends you to the basegame alliance capitals.

So much for "The Plaza of Portals leads everywhere"

My suggestion/request is to add more portals to this barren plaza, make Fargrave truly feel like a nexus of realms.

A portal for each Oblivion zone (Apocrypha, Coldharbour) as well as a secondary portal entrance to the Night Market here. Perhaps even a portal directly to the Infinite Archive as well.
For Eyevea & Artaeum, we could perchance have a Psijic NPC to serve as a navigator NPC to these zones as well, keeping a lore friendly touch on traveling to them.
For the Clockwork City we could have a Nocturnal pool of shadow, much like some portal entrances to delves in the Clockwork City itself!
A navigator NPC for the capital cities of Chapter and/or DLC Zones.
Cosmetically, maybe unusable/decorational rifts/portals/etc could be placed hovering around the plaza, just for an extra touch of otherwordlyness

The reason I suggest navigation NPCs instead of portals for a lot of these is simply to save on space for future Realm zones as well.

I hope these suggestions are welcome, as I would love to see the Plaza of Portals truly be A Plaza of Portals

The Plaza of Portals remains the game's most underutilized function, lore-wise and gameplay-wise. So much could be done with it for future free content— and it might even be enticing to offer Deadlands as a free DLC for future content further down the pipeline? It was already given out as a login reward, after all.

It could be cool to add access to Oblivion realms we don't have a zone for but have visited as well. It'd be a good spot to add quests to in the future and for roleplay/screenshots.

I've wanted something for this for a long time. Add the lore functionality to the Portal of Plazas and make it a place you could do your daily writs and I'd happily make it my main city hub in a heartbeat. It's probably one of my favorite places in eso since it was released and I had hoped when it was given away as free shortly after it launched that it meant the developers intended to do more with the area for future quests and stories. I'm over the moon about the Night Market overall, but I still would like to see more growth for the city because I think it has a lot of mileage for stories to tell on the oblivion side of things that we haven't seen in prior TES games. It's fun to learn about and explore more of Oblivion than just the princes themselves.

yes please!
i wish for a huge Plaza of Portals with dozens of portals, some not yet usable.
Navigation characters do make sense too in case of Artaeum and Eyevea.

there really should be portals to each Oblivion realm.
Even the realms we only visit in quests like Evergloam, would be nice to be able to return to quest exclusive zones.
