The fourth must be the Tundra marsh hold (i think it says marsh on the map). You know the Hold to the east of Solitude and west of Dawnstar. The hold town there might be Dunstad or Stonehill/s.

Yeah Todd speaks a little confusingly sometimes. Probably having to go through that many interviews.

Maybe, but I can't see any dividers. All the holds seem to be marked out bu dotted lines, and I can only see 8 shapes from that, all of which have names in them (tundra marsh seems to be an environment, probably not a hold name). Perhaps the final hold is in the top left, where it's very blurry, though I can't see any town shapes there, and it would be very small.

Here are the holds based on the BTS wall map.

Ah, it's good you were able to mark out the lines of that last Northwestern hold, but I must ask, are you sure on it? I mean, there doesn't seem to be a settlement at all in it. Perhaps it stretches further East than you have described here, and a marker is mistaken, and that hold is actually Haafingar/Solitude?

I'm not sure about that. I'm certain I can see the border line going under Solitude.

@ Dragonbone, there seems to be a hold name there for that section just can't make it out. Just a bit north west of the south mountains in that hold. Looks like it starts with "H".

Yeah, it was kind of hard to see. As for the H, it's actualy "Fj" The hold is called Fjordmarch.

I fixed it up.

He's tongue-tied a lot. I bet he's stressed.

One city per hold? Works for me. So are 'towns' about the size of Oblivion's county seats, while the major 5 are about the size of Cyrodiil City?

Todd's saying that there are 5 big cities and 4 large towns that make up the 9 holds, including 8-9 smaller towns spread throughout.

I really want to look at that map properly, instead of squinting at this blurred side on image. My eyes are going funny. Need sleep.

I suppose this is why fog is so thick on the mountains. Otherwise, we'd reach the peak of one, and see how close the cities are.

I'm hoping there are going to be large cities, then smaller kind of "locksley" type of towns with a lord of the mannor, and then smaller out in the middle of no where towns, and then some native villages with uncivilized people that will give you warnings to leave by pointing a bow or drawing their sword at you and will attack you if you come any closer. and of course there can be camps. but I'd rather not have the majority of the ones have people that attack you.

They have a very good excuse in "200 years is a long time..."

Yes, the town we saw was far larger than a Oblivion settlement but probably smaller than the towns. The settlements was pretty wasted as they was so large it was work making them but to small to be very useful.
