The Elder Scrolls VI: 8 Perfect Locations Bethesda Must Consider

1. Summerset Isles

The Elder Scrolls Online Valenwood
Bethesda

One of the most powerful factions in Elder Scrolls is the resurrected Aldmeri Domain. Until the events of Skyrim, the Summerset Isles were part of the Tamrielic Empire.

Home of the High Elves - the most innately powerful magical race - the Altmer are also the most egotistical and xenophobic race in the Elder Scrolls. But little is actually known about their homeland.

The Summerset Isle have different gods, architecture and politics from the rest of Tamriel. Their xenophobic outlook towards the rest of the races would make for a darker game than the other Elder Scrolls. Even if the player chooses to be an Altmer, the rigid social hierarchy would allow a low-born to receive equal discrimination to those of other races and make the entire game slightly more difficult.

Potential DLC could revolve around the Isle of Artaeum, home of the Psjic Order. The Order disappeared 100 years before the Skyrim civil war but has disappeared for 500 years following the end of the First Era. The Dragonborn was also helped by an envoy of the Psjic Order in the Mages College questline in Skyrim.

Continuing on from this point would be a logical next step in the Elder Scrolls and follow the ongoing Aldermi Domain/Tamrielic Empire struggle. If anywhere, this is where we would like to see the next chapters of the Elder Scrolls take place.
