THE ELDER SCROLLS 6 NIRN SERIES

They already have a long history as antagonists, maintaining an ongoing feud with the elves of Summerset that even culminated in a plague that wiped out a massive portion of the population of Tamriel. Thras is home to perhaps the most insidious villains in the Elder Scrolls series, a group of self-involved slug-like necromancers called the Sload. Here are the six that I think are the most promising. Some areas would make great primary settings for the next game, not just because of the secrets they keep, but because of their visual potential as well.

There are many places shrouded in mystery, with scant references to them hidden across games, books, fleeting pieces of dialogue, and other sources you might have missed in the hundreds of hours it takes to complete each game.

While I’ve longed for the series to revisit some of its earliest locations so as to see them now in high definition, reading up on what lies beyond Tamriel has piqued my curiosity.

But in general, so much of the action takes place on this one massive continent, it’s easy to forget there’s more out there than just a few flimsy islands to visit during a DLC campaign. Sure, if you’ve played all the games (even The Elder Scrolls Adventures: Redguard) and read all the in-game books and paid close attention to the histories of various Tamriel races, you may be aware. If you’ve never done a deep dive into the lore of the Elder Scrolls, you might be surprised to know there are continents on the planet Nirn that are not Tamriel.
