A wishlist, eh?

1) Hammerfell as the setting, including Stros M'Kai, Herne, and other outerlying islands (except Yokuda; we don't need Yokuda).

2) The story has nothing to do with the Thalmor. They are referenced in backstory; nothing more.

3) The Alik'r Desert is a fully-explorable, but separate, world space from the rest of Hammerfell. Complete with its own dynamic "weather" system including shifting sands. (Not my idea; got this one from a subreddit)

4) The Illiac Bay region (southern portion of it in Hammerfell) is under constant threat of invasion from both Orcs & dangerous monsters from the Alik'r Desert.

5) We can see signs of the "March of Thirst" event that occurred during the Great War, complete with corpses of Imperial soldiers who died in the desert.

6) Also related to the "March of Thirst"; we should encounter surviving "Invalids" that Legate Decianus left behind during the Great War.

7) The city of Dragonstar's west & east sections are still walled off from each other; the Crowns in the west, and the descendants of Nord settlers in the east. Tensions should be rising by now.

8) There are several potential major threats: A new Orsinium, an aspiring 'Ansei' driven mad with power, the return of Shadow Magic, a new colony of "Lefthanded Elves", and two Daedric Princes (Malacath and Peryite) influencing events through their followers.

9) The available Special "Powers" for the player-character are Shehai (Sword-Singing), Shadow Magic, or Memory Stone manipulation. You can NOT possess more than one of these Powers; Once you've chosen any one of these, your path is set, and the story's progression [and ending] affected by your choice.
