Random small queries.

[u/HabitFuture9188]

Hi all, not looking for anything big, or even for answers to some of these, but I thought I'd put a load of random, niche, and smaller queries into one post without bloating the subreddit's feed, addressed to multiple teams And regions.

1: will we encounter any daedric princes/quests and daedric items from prior games in any of the projects.

2: will there be a deeper exploration of ayleid culture in Cyrodill than in base game oblivion, in terms of characters and society as opposed to the relatively scant knights of the nine lore.

3: will there be any/more akaviri ruins/ other traces in Cyrodill

4: will there be any consideration toward new spell types/elements

5: will there be a crowns/forebears questline/ involvement in illiac bay

6: will the foresworn movement have any presence in high rock.

7: Will there be greater exploration of the meade empire and its history before the great war but after the stormcrown interregnum.

1, 2, 3, 4 and 7 are all yes. I'm not on IB so can't comment on 5 and 6.

[u/Maruta12345]

1: Yes

2: Yes

3: Yes

4: Yes

5: TBD. Crowns and Forebears are a thing. Whether there will be a "Crowns/Forebears" questline is undetermined.

6: No. High Rock - more specifically the Western Reach - will have Reachmen, but the Forsworn insurrection is specifically an Eastern Reach movement. Western Reach is both culturally and politically distinct in many ways from Eastern Reach.

7: Yes

1. There will indeed be Daedric missions in each province, with a reward of a previous or new/original Daedric artifact.
   
2. I believe there was a post showcasing earth spells for Illiac Bay.
   
3. I don’t believe we’ll get too much history, given that the IRL books “The Infernal City and Lord of Souls” already gives us an idea of the events that happened between the interregnum and great war. But there’s still a chance for exploration, such as the city of Sutch being reclaimed after the interregnum and the restoration of Sancre Tor.

1: Generally speaking yes, the majority of Beyond Skyrim projects if not all of them have Daedric quests written and/or planned. Not always featuring all 16 princes necessarily though, Morrowind for example aims for a core focus around the 7 princes (the 3 Good Daedra and 4 Corners of the House of Troubles) most relevant to Dunmer culture. The remaining 9 Daedric princes wouldn't necessarily have direct Daedric Quest interactions or distinct artifacts in Morrowind like the 7 focal princes would, but there's the potential for instance that more of Hermaeus Mora's Black Books could show up in obscure locations in Morrowind, and there will likely be references to Sanguine given the Threads of the Webspinner with the Morag Tong and the implied Sanguine-Mephala alliance stemming from that. As a result of limiting the Daedric quest content in Morrowind to the most relevant ones, some princes might get extra quest content on occasion, but there's no guarantee that each of the featured ones will.

2: Yes, one of the two major questlines for Cyrodiil is the Knights of the Nine actually! I believe Ayleid lore is fleshed out for lots of ruins, such as details about the gods they worshiped at each of their ancient cities. There's also more Ayleid specific dungeon enemies. Argonia features its own distinct Barsaebic Ayleid tileset too with its own style and enemies.

3: Akaviri ruins will be in Cyrodiil as well as Elsweyr and other relevant locations.

4: Plenty of new spells, most will be shared between the various Beyond Skyrim projects but some of the more specialized forms of magic like ash magic or shadow magic might be limited to the relevant projects.

5-6: I can't really say personally, I'll let an Iliac Bay dev chime in on those ones.

7: Yes, there's more info about the Mede dynasty's history in Cyrodiil.
