User blog:Dar'Rajhin/Skyrim: Hearthfire DLC Details Leaked

It appears another Skyrim DLC could be on its way. Bethesda Softworks parent company, ZeniMax Media, has filed an Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim under the name Hearthfire.

Concerning Skyrim lore, as many of you Elder Scrolls enthusiasts already know, Hearthfire is a month in the Elder Scrolls basically the same as our “real-world” September. Putting this into consideration, September, although unlikely, may be eligible for an announcement concerning another DLC for Skyrim. There is no doubt Hearthfire is the leading candidate for Skyrim’s next DLC, the filed trademark application specifically applies to “Computer game software for use with computers and video game consoles; downloadable computer game software offered via the internet and wireless devices”.

By taking a look at some of the notable events in the month of Hearthfire, occurring outside the expanse of Skyrim, there is one occurrence that shines some light on what could possibly be included in the DLC. “Tales and Tallows”, which occurs on the 3rd day of Hearthfire, is an unsanctioned celebration of necromancy disgraced and feared by countless citizens. Although Skyrim does not wholly revolve around necromancy, it is a possible class option that can be developed depending on the players’ character construction and training. Because of the bad name surrounding it, information regarding “Tales and Tallows” isn’t extraordinary; this leaves the developers with a lot of potential and room for expansion.

Evidently none of this should be taken as fact; this information is based on theory. Any signs or specifics regarding Hearthfire, or any conceivable DLC, by Bethesda are yet to be official.
