We know practically anything about these places, like their inhabitants and culture. "In the background lore of the games there are mentions of islands like Roscrea, Cathnoquey, Yneslea, and Esrionet that exist on Nirn. Is he too busy dealing with the order Daedra in Oblivion? Or has something else caught his interest?" This is very disheartening, for I am a great admirer of the Daedric Prince of the Natural Order and I just wanted to know why he hasn't made an appearance in the game. There is literally no new information regarding the Taskmaster, including books, quests, or dialogue in the base game. "In ESO the Daedric Princes are very prominent in the game.except for one, Peryite. 'Lo! Thanks for taking the time to answer our questions. I don't have a question, though i would like to thank you guys because my favorite part of the game is the story telling! I read it almost every day and love to see what you guys are coming up with and discussing. I don't have a specific answer to one of your questions, but I do want to shout out to /r/teslore. Rest assured that, behind the scenes, Almalexia has her golden fingers in everything. Re: Jorunn as leader of the Pact: Jorunn is the titular leader of the Ebonheart Pact because it is a military alliance, the Nords are the muscle of the Pact, and they’re inclined to be disobedient if ordered around by non-Nords.

Eventually we’ll reveal what they've got their hands full OF. Re: Vivec and Sotha Sil: Oh, we know exactly where they are, and believe me, they've got their hands full. Re: the Covenant and the Empire: We knew the Empire of Cyrodiil was going to be in eclipse (because Interregnum and need for a PvP arena), but we wanted an alliance that sort-of embodied the virtues of the Second Empire. From that the Ebonheart Pact just kind of blossomed. Re: origin of the Pact: Well, we had that Akaviri invasion in the timeline just a decade before the time we'd chosen for our game, so it seemed obvious to weave that into the backstory of one of our alliances. We’re mostly concerned with trying to convey the day-to-day reality of life in Tamriel in the Second Era. We erect the spine of cordial welcome! Re: C0DA: it’s thought-provoking and a hell of a lot of fun, but we don’t really touch much on that sort of meta-lore. Also, the Dumer and Argonians have not historically entertained notions of empire.Īgain, thanks for doing an AMA, and I hope I’m not asking too much. Unity on any level seems contradictory to it’s founding goal. There are few points I still don’t get about the Ebonheart Pact, such as: Why is Jorunn in charge (at least nominally)? Why is there such a push for “integration” between the three races, when the Pact is supposed to be an uncomfortable alliance? Finally, since when was the Pact trying to conquer all of Tamriel? The defining goal of the Pact is independence for it’s member states. Why, from a writing perspective again, were the Daggerfall Covenant and the Empire separated?Ĭan you shed some light on the absence of Vivec and Sotha Sil? Obviously in-universe it’s an alliance of convenience, but I was wondering how the Ebonheart Pact was initially envisioned in the planning stages of ESO. Why, from a writing perspective, was the Ebonheart Pact created. Since this AMA will likely be writing-focused, the folks over at /r/teslore took some interest. So – ask us anything about characters, quests, lore, or any other topic related to Writing and Editorial processes in ESO, and we’ll do our best to answer! Every time you post about a favorite line, an exciting quest, or a funny hireling message, or when you create a comic, video, story, or piece of original art featuring the characters we created, we notice, we share them, and we appreciate all of you. It’s been especially rewarding to hear from so many players who’ve appreciated our work.

We’re very proud of what we’ve accomplished so far, and we’re bursting with excitement about ESO’s future. The team has spent many years pouring our hearts and souls into this project. Our Community Manager Jessica Folsom and Assistant Community Manager Gina Bruno will also be on hand to keep things running smoothly. Today, the following team members are here to answer your questions with smart-alecky, but hopefully informative and entertaining responses: The trick is getting them in the right order.) We’ve gathered together some of the members of ESO’s Writing and Editorial team and we’re here to answer your questions about storytelling, characterization, writing voice-over dialog… pretty much anything in ESO that involves the twenty-six letters of the alphabet. I’m Wynne McLaughlin, Lead Writer for The Elder Scrolls Online. Questions appear in chronological order, and have been occasionally edited for spelling.
