In the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO), everything revolves around the continent Tamriel. With each expansion, more of it is revealed. Players wonder what might come after the exploration of Tamriel.
The Elder Scrolls Online is constantly being supplied with new content. These always bring significant story content and new parts of the continent Tamriel. Next, during the new Skyrim update for ESO, players will head to Skyrim. It’s no wonder that players are slowly wondering what awaits them after Tamriel.
On Reddit, users are getting quite creative about which areas they might explore in the future. Included are familiar places as well as crazy ideas.
The vast world of Oblivion
For some, Oblivion is already a term. This refers to the vast world of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion from 2006. A parallel world populated by gods and demons. Here, players have multiple ideas about what might come next.
When it comes to Oblivion, two regions are particularly popular:
Completely explorable, vibrant, and extensive Deadlands that we never had, while we can still indulge in nostalgia.

For my part, I would like to return to the Shivering Isles.

The aforementioned Deadlands are a hellish plane of the parallel world of Oblivion. There rules the Daedra Lord of Destruction. Everywhere in this inhospitable place, there are lava fields, it is unbearably hot, and full of ash.
The Shivering Isles, or also known as the Isles of Sorrow, are part of an expansion of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Players journey there to meet the Daedra Lord of Madness, who controls this world with his thoughts. He can even influence the trees and the wind.
The rest of the planet Nirn
Tamriel is one of the continents of the planet Nirn. The other land masses are kept quite a secret. Therefore, it is probably not as likely as a return to Oblivion. Nevertheless, the planet Nirn is vast and full of interesting places:
- Tamriel – This is where you are in ESO.
- Akavir – The dragon land, as it is translated, is the home of the Taesci.
- Atmora – The land mass is covered in ice and snow; the Nords and all other humans are descended from there.
- Aldmeris – The home of the elves, which is allegedly densely populated like a single large city. However, its existence has not been clearly confirmed.
These two are often referred to as the continents of Nirn as well:
- Pyandonea – The island continent consists of a main island and many smaller ones. Its inhabitants are called Maormer, a tribe of tropical elves.
- Yokuda – This continent largely no longer exists; it sank into the sea during the first era.
Besides Tamriel, there are many other landmasses and islands to discover. The islands are also on the players’ list on Reddit.
They could add some of the island areas.

Cyrodiil as a PvE area
Some players also wish for Cyrodiil to be a non-PvP area:
An alternative, forested Cyrodiil

In ESO, the area of Cyrodiil is a PvP region. The Alliance War takes place there, in which you can participate with your character. It is located in the center of Tamriel and is already known from earlier parts of the series. The three alliances consist of
- the Ebonheart Pact,
- the Daggerfall Covenant,
- the Aldmeri Dominion
There you can, as usual in PvP, fight against other players, but also complete missions. However, how exactly an alternative PvE version of this area would look remains a matter of the imagination.
Time-skip versions or just a portal to somewhere
Time-skip versions of already existing regions in ESO are also conceivable. In this case, players would travel several years or centuries into the future or the past. This way, previously implemented areas could be utilized, and something entirely new could be created.
I expect time travel versions of already existing regions

Also possible would simply be a portal to somewhere. The universe of Elder Scrolls is endlessly large. It could also happen to players that a completely unknown area is discovered. Or foreign powers from this new area might attack – and you might have to travel through portals again to prevent the downfall of Tamriel.
We can be curious about what ESO has in store for us. Tamriel will likely never be fully explored. The small strip between Anequina and Pelletine will probably remain forever.
