User blog:Timeoin/TES Online - General Questions Answered

Today, Zenimax answered some more general questions from people regarding The Elder Scrolls Online. (Available here if anyone would like to read it).

Here's what was learnt from it:
 * Both the Fighters Guild and Mages Guild will be in the game. (Although this has been known since June last year).
 * Mages Guild need to "recapture lore that could be lost in the chaos of the interregnum"
 * Fighters Guild exist to "thwart the plans of Molag Bal".
 * Daedric Princes may appear with quests, as in other Elder Scrolls games, however, this is uncertain.
 * Dwemer may appear ("As far as anyone knows, all the Dwemer disappeared in the year 1E 668…") (Direct Quote there)
 * Orsimer Religion: (Regarding Malacath/Mauloch) "As with other races, the religious practices of the Orcs vary from place to place and from clan to clan. Some Orcs worship the Daedric Prince Malacath; some Orcs (including most of those in the Daggerfall Covenant) worship the Divine named Mauloch, whom they insist is not a Daedra at all; and some Orcs could care less whether their god is a Daedra or not, and worship him under either name. In such matters of metaphysics, it’s difficult (if not impossible) to determine what the “truth” really is." 
 * Heita-Meen is a prominent Argonian character. He/She is an Archcanon, and "administers Argonian affairs above the tribal level (at least in northern Black Marsh)". They are also the Keeper of the Hatching Pool in Shadowfen.
 * Redguard Schools exist where Swordplay can be learnt, such as the one at Leki's Blade.
 * The Ansei apparently died out in the First Era, along with the abilities of the Shehai.
