Okay so after making this I realised I never actually did a video on thras, only on the sloads. If you wish to know more about Thras you can watch this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hmesqoWvYpmGl8k Btw I dont feel like this video has turned out good, what do you guys think? Was it fine? I was experiencing mic problems so you literally hear my annoyance in the video haha. Sorry about that.

[@samersinno1623]

I didnt hear any annoyance

[@Charlie-dx6bv]

It was a good video

[@creaturefeet3036]

Imperial Knowledge I would like a video on thras but just love geographic lore in the elder scrolls series in general more than most other subjects which is incredibly ironic because earth geography is one of my weakest subjects haha. So I vote for more geography videos in general! I thought the video could have been slightly more polished at a few points but it honestly didn't negatively effect my enjoyment of the video. Hope that helps.

[@chippychippo7659]

It wasn't bad, you just didn't have much to work with

[@marxisminvariant]

Islands? I call them DLC's.

[@lucianogardelli10]

lol sounds like something ZeniMax would do and there chapters....

[@VelociraptorsOfSkyrim]

I mean.... Islands do make good DLC.

[@Bus_Driver_Jay]

Woah! Todd Howard watched the video!

[@amarjamakovic1222]

Sailing mechanics with an open PVP zone would be kick ass on those three islands.

[@charliemartin7855]

I call them Todd's ATM's

[@tammikasvain4982]

[@darthskarr8975]

Anyone else want a Black Flag style Elder Scrolls game? Where you have a ship and you sail between the different islands and port towns of Nirn?

[@ImperialKnowledge]

I truly hope they add some sort of sailing exploriation. People managed to add a limited form into skyrim using mods, and I hope that gives them inspiration

[@BP-dn9nv]

I can see that if the game takes place in Hammerfell. It may be just be DLC, but given the amount of islands and piracy in the provenience it would make sense. Maybe you can even have a quest that follows the legendary exploits of Cyrus the Restless, the main character of Redguard

[@reesetorwad8346]

👍 Exactly what openMW is for.

[@FumblsTheSniper]

We’ve been talking about something similar in OSRS for years. Looks like it might actually happen.

[@jik9693]

​@@whitenoise8397 My honest reaction to that information 🗿

[@SlightlyDecent]

I wonder what type of people live on the 3 eastern islands. Are they human, elven, some type of known or unknown beast race? I assume Roscea is inhabited by nords of some type.

[@aysseralwan]

Yeah I have the same questions. Would be really interesting to learn about these Islands in some sort of dlc or game

[@ImperialKnowledge]

Unfortunately we dont know anything exept for fan interpretation

[@SlightlyDecent]

Right. Too bad the devs didn't go into any specifics about the islands. Thank you for the fun video!

[@manlikemars2929]

Can confirm there is now modding teams for both Cathnoquey and Esroniet, both of which have human settlers called the Kepetu, and Esri

[@derfalke9178]

[@sarahwolf1042]

Hopefully in the elder scrolls 6 we'll get more lore on these islands, its always interesting to learn about these islands.

[@aysseralwan]

It's always interesting to learn any new lore tbh :D

[@danimartinez5734]

A cut above the usual brutes the Jarl sends my way huh?

[@Celestial_Wing]

Roscrea could've been nice a DLC area to visit. Maybe we'll get to see it in 6?

[@greazypozer]

honestly with the lack of information on it I wouldn't doubt that it got hit really hard in the sea of ghosts calamity that destroyed most of winterhold and basically nobody lives there anymore

[@AnarkiarenErregina]

Beyond Skyrim I’m so excited!

[@curtis1989FO4]

Summerset is just a snobby island and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. No body high and mighty on this hemisphere excepting the Jarl

[@Jman-ut8hr]

If the lower half of the map is jungle, that means it’s probably near the equator. So there’s potentially even more stuff below what we know right now, and possibly to the left and right as well. Sweet

[@mr.lordcat9387]

Why is this age restricted? Are those dammed Dark Elves behind this!!

old comment but nedes arnt a race they were what the elves called the humans before the atmoran invasion of skyrim

[@BaslightBatekeepBoyboss]

​@@ciaranmck4469 Nedes were a race. The Forsworn are the only Nedes left.

[@barrybludgeon7448]

I didnt even realise there were other islands so even though you didnt have much info on them, I feel like I know a hell of a lot more!

[@m0f0g4mes9]

Thanks farengar for the black soul gem and for this 👍

[@brannvalravn138]

In Skyrim no mods you can actually get to Roscrea's far west end, with lost of will power Arvak mount and boots of water walking you can get up the cliff actually onto the island. But will be greeted by an invisible wall. Is all just flat snow land as far as the eye can see. Keep going north from the college of Winter hold and you will find is. If you hit a barrier first turn west. Is has been a year since I whent there but I'm sure that's how I always found it

[@juliuscaesar5397]

Would be pretty interesting if those two islands mentioned first basically continued Third Era-levels of prosperity and built a decent quality of life with their own Emperor.

[@viniciusvyller9458]

We should have a naval exploraation and battle system in TESVI

[@Desmuu]

Roscrea is so cool to me. I really hope the Beyond Skyrim release of it comes out next. I like the idea of this in-between of Skyrim-Atmora culture and vibe, yeah they're the same folks I guess but Roscrea must be different and unique in some way

[@aurelian2668]

Same, imagine living in that place hahahahahaha

[@icaaq49274]

Would be interesting to hear your take on the teaser trailer just released.

[@johnrickert4121]

Roscrea is fighting for indepidence from the East Empire trading company

[@gunargundarson1626]

Then they all got swallowed by the Sea of Ghosts, and transported to the time of Redfall in DLC content.

[@camman945]

Why does zork always say "well it's actually quite interesting" I think that should be your catch phrase.

[@fumarc4501]

Each one would make an excellent speed bump on our way to Akavir. Akavir or bust!

[@jadonderby2599]

Theres a project covering the isle of esroniet it's pretty cool

[@blazedgamingkr1438]

Its Farengar holy shit.

[@reunitedagain5005]

Okay this may be better for the discord, but what races live on those islands between Tamriel and Akavir? It says there are Princes and rebellions so it’s obviously advanced intelligent races, but they aren’t from Tamriel, and here is no evidence they are making the Akaviri races either...? But in the lore it seems they are a type of man or mer. Is there something I don’t know?

[@provi1085]

I'm wondering as well. Could be some argonians or dunmers that found their way on the island somehow and settled.

[@reunitedagain5005]

Perhaps. I doubt the Argonians would put together a navigational expedition large enough to create a settlement though. Seafaring doesn’t seem to be their thing. And the Prince’s name Bashomon doesn’t seem Argonian or Dunner in nature. But who knows ?

[@user-mg7lt1hj6x]

Could be sea elves they was known to travel like the yokudans and even interact with Tamerial

[@Ved000000]

You forgot Olenveld.

[@17Watman]

It kinda bugs me that much these places are not even on the maps. I get that an element of mystery is good for a setting to keep things interesting but they could at least show precisely where they are and how large. This is just my opinion.
