If The Elder Scrolls 6 spans both High Rock and Hammerfell, it will be able to explore all the weird, wonderful, and sometimes Lovecraftian lore of The Elder Scrolls, while still giving players a steady footing in clear real-life counterpart cultures.īoth High Rock and Hammerfell are primarily human-populated provinces, with the Iliac Bay providing a rough stand-in for the Mediterranean in Tamriel. Morrowind shows, however, that a great Elder Scrolls setting can be alien instead of the more easily understandable settings of Oblivion and Skyrim. Skyrim found a decent middle ground, exploring a relatively generic Viking-esque setting, but still playing with some of the series' stranger lore from Dwemer ruins to Apocrypha, the realm of Daedric Prince Hermaeus Mora. Although Oblivion was criticized for its far more standard fantasy fare, Morrowind explored an alien landscape of giant insects, strange pantheons, and towering mushrooms.
Between Morrowind and Skyrim, the Elder Scrolls series has explored a great variety of settings.
