uh....where?

To the left of the Oblivion gate, I can't say for sure it's Akulakhan, but some people said it looks a lot like it in one of the older threads.

hmm, what are you refering to when you say that was just a rumour?

what makes you say Skrim will take place after Infernal City? grant it nothing about the events percieved in TESV:Skyrim are detailed in Infernal city.....but...I just want to know what makes you say that.

I thought you were talking about the Eurogamer.dk rumour. Sorry, I get it now.

Because it's canon, it's in TES time-line now. As I said, Skyrim as being a sequel, not a prequel, will take place after any event in the timeline.

That means that Infernal City now officially part of the lore and everything that happens will be after it's time. Skyrim will be after Infernal City if it's a sequel and not a prequel, so yes, Morrowind is already eradicated and there's nothing we can do.

How would that affect the second book then? (IIRC there is supposed to be sequel novel to The Infernal City) Hopefully Skyrim doesn't become an "Undead Nightmare"! :tongue:

Should we create a thread to discuss this timeline thingy?

thats not what canon means, brah. it means its accepted as happening, but that doesnt mean anything has to take place after it. the love letter from the 5th era is [censored] canon, and i can assure you that no game is taking place after it...at least...anytime soon.

If Greg knew about TESV before he started writing the second book, then he might have been asked to write it about the events after Skyrim. Or, Skyrim is already set after the second book.
