Now in skyrim most of the times they say Hammerfell or Elsweyr so it might be one of them. The best quote i remember is a khajiit saying "May your road lead you to warm sands". It could be either of the two, or both which would be really cool. I never really felt that in Oblivion they talked about Skyrim a lot. Maybe I just wasn't looking out for it, but it didn't strike me as particularly odd. Similarly, I didn't think that the number of references in Skyrim to Hammerfell were out of proportion. I'm fairly certain when Khajiit say "May your road lead you to warm sands" it was just standard farewell, like salve (a Roman greeting) means "be healthy". Maybe I haven't seen it, but even if your predictions are correct, it will be impossible to prove that it was because of a causal link or coincidence. And by the way, if they had Hammerfell and Elsweyr they'd have to include Cyrodiil and maybe Valenwood just to provide a contiguous land area, which will not happen for two reasons: Cyrodiil was in Oblivion, and they are highly unlikely to do more than one province, let alone three.
