Black Marsh: Many of the Argonians all around Tamriel are regrouping deep within Black Marsh.

The Nords of Skyrim have invaded Morrowind and are currently duking it out with Redoran.

Summerset Isles are boycotting all Imperial exports, if I remember correctly.

Those three are the ones I hear the most of; Morrowind has the most random topics assigned to it, but that's more because it was the previous game. St. Jiub and the Cliffracers :)

so its up for grabs? well i bet they'll give it to the south for once, so my guess is black marsh or summerset isle. summerset is also and island so its easier to isolate. my money is on summerset.

WTF? where is that said?

I'm also putting my money on Summerset Isle BTW. But a lot of people seem to think BethSoft will make an adventure game first, set in Black Marsh. (Adventure game like redguard). It's called: "The eye of argonia" but it's only a rumor.

In conversations between NPCs Vholdrian.

Eye of Argonia was going to come out between Redguard and Morrowind originally I think. Although it was cancelled in early production. They may yet revive the concept, but after the steam that Oblivion has given Bethesta, it may be a bit counter-intuitive to produce an adventures game next, unless its for a portable system. I can definately see Elderscrolls 5 being set in Summetset Isle.

I notices that next to nothing is said about High Rock... or at least I havn't noticed anything so far.

Ya know back when Morrowind was still in vogue, they said TES 4 would be Summerset Isles.

With the technology advancing, we might see a return to the idea of making more than one province. I don't think they would do all of Tamriel yet, but wouldn't it be great to have a game that plays across all of the Black Marsh, Valenwood, Elswyr and the Summerset Isles?

That would be great. except that it would take ages to make without lowering the scale enourmously. Also, yeah, I can see the next game in summerset isles. I'm just hoping for it to be on another continent like akavir ;).

i agree with jale. it would be cool to have aq mulit-province game but it wouldnt include black marsh with elswyr and valenwood. they would also have to take too much off of the scale. i wouldnt mind any of the southern provinces, just with 4 or 5 times the scale of oblivion.

i also agree with amrod. it would be cool to be on akavir, but you would lose some of the elder scrolls flare (races, weapons, arcitecture, so on and so forth). and even if you did go what would they do about the nerevarine? would he be an old man or would he recieve the man-god powers that come with the Tools?

Nerevar going to Akavir means that they're NEVER EVER GOING IN THE PREDICTABLE FUTURE to set a game in Akavir.

I don't know if you have noticed, but you didn't play Daggerfall's hero in Oblivion, and the Nerevarine wasn't Arena's champion.


Here are the rumors:
Daedra-invasion related
  • I have heard things are bad in Vvardenfell. The Telvanni do their best to close the gates, but it is to no avail.
  • I've heard nothing good. In Morrowind, they say the man-god Vivec has gone missing. Some believe he has been taken by the daedra.
  • Many are dead in the land of the Dunmer. Even St. Jiub, who drove the cliffracers from Vvardenfell, has fallen to the daedra hordes.
  • The news has not been good. I've heard it said that the daedra have overrun the town of Ald'ruhn. The entire town has been destroyed.
  • There is grave news from Skyrim. From Falkreath to Windhelm, the foul daedra attack the land.
  • I hear all of Skyrim is under siege. The daedra lay waste to the Old Holds, and there is little to do to stop it.
  • There are foul tidings from Skyrim. The Greybeards speak of the end of all times.
  • Nothing I'd like to talk about.
  • This is most disturbing. We can only hope this madness is over soon.
  • This is unbelievable. How can the gods let this happen?
  • It seems it is a dire situation throughout all of Tamriel.
Generic
  • The skooma trade is making a lot of money for the tribes in Elsweyr, and a lot of that is going to the Renrijra Krin.
  • Sounds like the Empire has given up on stopping the skooma trade in Elsweyr, and I hear tribal chiefs are supporting the Renrijra Krin.
  • They say syndicates of wizards have led a boycott of Imperial goods in the land of the Altmer.
  • I understand Daedra worship has become increasingly prevalent in the Summerset Isle.
  • I have heard that the Great Houses of Morrowind are in upheaval. Indoril is in ruins, and Redoran is besieged by the Nords of Skyrim.
  • They say that slavery has been abolished in Morrowind. House Dres and Hlaalu have renounced the slave trade, and freed the beastfolk from servitude.
  • Rumor has it the Nerevarine has left Morrowind on an expedition to Akavir, and has not been heard from since.
  • They say that King Helseth has made an alliance with House Dres. Together they pick apart the carcass of ruined Indoril.
  • I hear the legions have been recalled from Fort Swampmoth in Black Marsh, and many of the Argonian slaves have returned to their tribes.
  • Many Argonians say they have been "called back" to Black Marsh. They disappear into the swamps and are never seen again.
  • Black Marsh has become more dangerous than ever. Many settlers have been lost, and most non-Argonians have left in fear.
  • I hear that the Nords of Skyrim have been warring with the Redoran of Morrowind.
  • I have heard that Nord warriors have travelled from Skyrim with Orc mercenaries to assault the Redoran of Morrowind.
  • There are rumors that the Nords are attempting to capture the whole of Solstheim, and remove the Imperial fort on the island.
  • It seems that these are turbulent times in the land of the Dunmer.
  • Morrowind has always been a troubling place. It seems it is moreso now.
  • It is not surprising, considering Morrowind's violent past. We can only hope the troubles subside quickly.
  • The land of the Argonians is a strange place indeed.
  • I have heard Argonia is a strange and treacherous place. It is no wonder odd things are happening there.
  • I've heard many tales of Black Marsh. It sounds like a truly mysterious place.
  • I'm not surprised. It seems that Skyrim is always involved in a border dispute.
  • More fighting for the Nords? This is sad news.
  • The Nords have always been protective of their territory. It's no wonder they get involved in these disputes.
  • It seems Summerset Isle has become a much more dangerous place.
  • The Altmer have powerful wizards. It could be a dangerous situation.
  • That skooma trade is bad business, and the Renrijra Krin are just a bunch of thugs.
  • If the Empire isn't going to stop the skooma trade, who will?

I reckon we are either going to have a Black Marsh/Elswyr game, or a Morrowind/Skyrim game. I think a game over two provinces would rule, and a return to Morrowind after all this time would be awesome.

EDIT: Bear in mind they might well do an Expansion Pack, like a return to Vvardenfell.

I wonder why there's no mention of Hammerfell, High Rock or Valenwood...

it seems that the developers have either dropped red herring for their in-concept game, or they're keeping the mod community in mind and giving an update on just that. Such outlanding rumors are twenty-fold in comparison to Morrowind.

I doubt there will be any game/expansion soon in Vvardenfell or Akavir.
The news has not been good. I've heard it said that the daedra have overrun the town of Ald'ruhn. The entire town has been destroyed.
It's sad that Ald' Rhun is destroyed. It was a nice town.

I bet there'll be an expansion in elsweyr that'll totally murder the previous lore by making all the khajiit breeds halfassed and almost identical... just a hunch.

LOL...

But you're right BTW. I don't think BethSoft will make an expansion in another province at all. Just too much lore. Too much backstory.

And I think they wouldn't touch either Elsweyr nor Black Marsh, because there are many breeds of these races (Argonians & Khajiits)
