Can someone please explain to me what happened to the city of Sutch? Did any of the developers explain why they didnt add Sutch to Oblivion? Was it completely that they just couldn't fit it in on time? And if so did they ever explain why like maybe just make up something in the lore saying that in some era it was destroyed by marauders or something? If anybody knows please respond.

My memory could be wrong but I do believe I saw in an early image of the Cyrodiil map possibly from a demo that Sutch was named on the map in the same location as Kvatch.

Like I said memory is unsure, don't know why it wasn't in though. Correct me if I am wrong

No it was to the northwest of Kvatch it was where fort sutch is in oblivion

Didn't we just have this discussion? Maybe it was in the Mods forum.

Looking at some of the older Tamriel maps, it's interesting that in most of 'em the only constants are Anvil, Sutch, Kvatch and the Imperial City. Skingrad may or may not appear. Bruma, Bravil, Leyawiin and Cheydinhal are conspicuous in their absence.

As to why Sutch was removed, I doubt we'll ever know with 100% certainty, unless one of more of the game's programmers decide to spill the beans. The most logical reason I've seen it that that area of Cyrodiil is simply too congested to support a third large city. This makes sense to me, small as Oblivion's version of Cyrodiil is. But is it true? Your guess is as good as mine.
