"The body's fall called my attention to the port below, property of the East Empire Company. A galleon lay in port, presumably replete with treasure, but wary of an impromptu sea voyage a la Oblivion's Bloated Float escapade I stuck to the high ground."

The http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Bloodmoon:East_Empire_Company was big business back in Morrowind, surprisingly surviving both the collapse of its Raven Rock colony on Solstheim and the total devastation of Vvardenfell to appear in Skyrim. Will they be a mining faction - they held a monopoly on ebony in Morrowind - to compliment smithing? With they return to their colonistic ways and play a part in the civil war? Will you work for them, exploit them, or wipe them out?

Personally I thought their quest (and infighting) was an interesting addition to Bloodmoon. Interested to see how the past 200 years have treated them.

Maybe we will get to develop another village haha

Let's hope it's a big longer lived this time round, I was a bit annoyed that all my Nerevarine's efforts went to waste in a few short years!

I'm glad to see that they make a reappearance. This should be a good opportunity to see some intrigue and backstabbing. I'll tentatively work for them.

hahah very true in my opinion Bloodmoon will always be the greatest thing Bethesda did with the elder scrolls.

Awesome! Nice find!

/nostalgic sigh

awesome. The more similarities to Bloodmoon, the better. that expansion was great.

Skyrim will never be like Bloodmoon. Add all the snow, the horkers, nords and mining companies and it wont ever get close. Not yet anyways.

We will have some twists in quests for East Empire Company, I'm sure !!! :celebration:
