User blog:Timeoin/Elder Scrolls Online: Lore Revealed

Some of you may have seen a section on the forums where I listed some of the main storyline events that we can probably expect to see with regards to the 3 main factions. (If not, go look it up if you're interested).

This week, The Elder Scrolls Online answered some community based questions with regards to the Lore surrounding the game, which can be viewed here.

Here is a summary of what we learnt from this:


 * 1) Lainlyn will indeed be in the game, as listed earlier in one of the Ask Us sections, of the Daggerfall covenant. However, it is called Tava’s Blessing at this time. Also, the Lainlyn Family will be present in the game, and the town is later named after them.
 * 2) Harpies will be in the game, and will exist in the Alik'r Desert. (Possibly Elswhere)
 * 3) Orsinium will be featured in the game (As mentioned in a previous announcement).
 * 4) The Wrothgarian Mountains are ruled by King Kurog of Orsinium in the South, and various strongholds in the north.
 * 5) Reachmen will exist in the game (Precursors to the Forsworn), and are hostile NPCs in High Rock, Hammerfell, Skyrim, and Cyrodiil.
 * 6) The Adamantine Tower can be seen from the shores of Iliac Bay.
 * 7) Orcs in northern Tamriel (i.e. Skyrim) may be seen in the various strongholds, but they do not get involved, unlike the Wrothgarian Mountains variety.
 * 8) The Manes, and the selection and accession process, is going to feature in the game. This will affect "northern Valenwood and western Elsweyr".

And that's all we learnt this time.

Some of it is pretty basic, some of it is new (such as Tava's Blessing).

Sadly, still no update regarding the payment methodology of this game.
