As it’s set between the two powerful countries, Iliac Bay (despite its calm waters - take another look at how serene it looked in the teaser) is where politics clash. High Rock is famous for sitting on Iliac Bay, a stretch of water that separates the north of Hammerfell from the south of High Rock.
Why would you show off a coastal area in a teaser for what is quite possibly the world’s most anticipated game instead of, say, a lush woodland or a country road? Answer: because that coastline is a key part not only of the location, but of the story you’re about to become a part of. So let’s start with that mountainous coastline, shall we? Iliac Bay is on the horizonĪlone, that giant stretch of water doesn’t look like anything special.
See, while there wasn’t a giant bustling merchant town on the horizon, or dozens of ruins of castles perched atop every hill, like many other gleeful, borderline frenzied fans right now I’m about to make the case that Elder Scrolls 6 could have us revisiting High Rock.
