Well, I've seen zero evidence of Solstheim in ESO, and suspect that it won't show up unless it's someday added in an expansion.

I'm not 100% versed in the lore of Solstheim, my area of expertise lies elsewhere. But as I recall, wasn't the island contested ground?

If I recall correctly, Morrowind and Skyrim fought over Solstheim for centuries. I think it was legally recognized as belonging to Morrowind during the events of TESIII, but neither country had any real presence on the island. It was just the Nords that weren't loyal to Skyrim, and an Imperial fort. After the events of the Red Year, the King of Skyrim officially gave all claims to Solstheim to the Dunmer people.

So theoretically, Solstheim could belong to either side in ESO, or still be contested ground.
