Before the Empire, Elder Scrolls‘ Tamriel was horrific, to say the least. The human Nedes were slaves under the control of the elves, who were Daedra worshippers, and apparently extremely brutal. Depending on how far back the game goes, it could also be a good way to give it its advertised 10-year life span, and showcase a portion of Elder Scrolls‘ history that’s been vastly underserved and shrouded in mystery.Īn Elder Scrolls game set during the Ayleids’ rule in the first era could be even worse for humans than a Thalmor takeover.
Players could become a key part of ending the rule of elves and ushering in the second era, which could also be a great main plot. If so, then a logical setting would be towards the end of their rule, when the Nedes rose up and toppled the Ayleid Empire. If the game chooses to go back to the past, then it could be set in the first era, during the rule of the Ayleids. Of course, it’s also possible that elves will rule Tamriel in Elder Scrolls 6 even without the Thalmor, and Elder Scrolls‘ biggest lore mystery could be how. Will The Aylieds Show Up In Elder Scrolls 6?
Depending on the setting, and the severity to which developers are willing to push these themes if elves do take power, it’s even possible that the races of men will find themselves hunted down and driven from their native countries. Just like the Dunmer are segregated to one portion of Windhelm, and Khajiit find themselves drifters unwelcome almost everywhere, the game has the opportunity to show players a world where humans are under the thumb of elves. Humans could become second-class citizens, or even worse, if the Thalmor take over the continent. If elves do become the rulers of Tamriel in Elder Scrolls 6, then players could see this kind of persecution completely reversed. Skyrim‘s diverse society faces racism in a way that few other Elder Scrolls games have, and it could be further considered in The Elder Scrolls 6. This may stem from the enslavement of Skyrim’s Nedic people in the first era, but considering the fact that the game takes place in the fourth, it would seem that there’s some deeper meaning to the Nords’ hatred, and the Thalmor are likely suspects. Even for other kinds of humans, the Nords have little tolerance or empathy. Khajiit aren’t even allowed within most cities, and if they pay attention in Windhelm, players will find a city marred by bigotry against the Dunmer, or Dark Elves. In Skyrim, players see the native Nords discriminating against just about everyone who isn’t a Nord, and especially so for non-human races like elves, Khajiit, and Argonians. Elder Scrolls 6 Could Reverse Skyrim’s Power Dynamics TES6 could solve the series’ main character problem by making the player an ordinary soldier instead of a fated hero, providing a conflict bigger in scale than the Skyrim Civil War. An uphill battle against an enemy with superior resources and manpower could be just the thing that the game needs to make it the biggest yet. Elder Scrolls‘ lore involves the shift in power from elves to humans, but it hasn’t been explored as much as it could have been. The Empire’s influence has waned since the end of T ES: Oblivion, and in Skyrim, it’s revealed that after a long and bloody war, they were forced into the White-Gold Concordat, which further tipped the balance towards elvenkind.īethesda has previously stated that Elder Scrolls 6 is supposed to last players for 10 years, which means that it will be just as big as, if not bigger than, Skyrim. Through a combination of Daedra worship, human uprisings, and good old-fashioned politics, they fell out of power, and the control of Tamriel eventually found itself in the hands of the Cyrodilic Empire. In the First Era of Tamriel’s history, the continent was ruled by the Ayleids, or Wild Elves.

It’s impossible to say for certain, but elves, Argonians, and Khajiit could topple man from his throne in the next game, and bring the history of the series full circle. It’s very much a « what-if » at the moment, but it’s certainly a possibility, and one that would show a fascinating reversal of the geo-politics of the world of Elder Scrolls. The possibilities for Elder Scrolls 6 are numerous and uncertain, but one of them is that elves will unseat humans and become the dominant race in Tamriel once again.
