Or better yet, visit parts of it?

no

No,Why would we? Did I miss something?

Simply put no.
Not even thinkable.

really why would we? just because we could be fighting them

Where is the poll? :hubbahubba:

I would say no, but I can see where you are coming from. Since the Dragons come from Akavir, I can't see why we don't see a map at least of how
it would loook like. Maybe you enter a DragonBorn stronghold and a book or some text could have the layout of the lands of Dragons.

Would be nice to have it, but I doubt it. But you never know. Could lead into some good DLC or expansion, or sequal or spinoff, like New Vegas.

Done.

People need to stop making these connections with Akavir. There will be no connection between Skyrim and Akavir. At the most we may get a new book or some tales about it, but a map or even visiting it? Not a chance. More than likely, if Akavir ever becomes the subject of an ES game, it will likely be the conclusion to the next story arc of the games, as the current one is going to end come a couple nights after November 11 of this year, and something as monumental as finally seeing Akavir in the flesh is not something that just gets thrown in. It needs a game dedication.

And also, for those that may want proof of the non-connection of Akavir and Skyrim, look at what most people who think there will be are basing it on: Dragons. Yes, Akavir is highly related to the dragons as a race, and yes, it is essentially ruled over by a giant tiger-dragon. However, that means nothing, as we have already had it confirmed that the dragon threat in Skyrim will originate from Alduin/Akatosh, not Tosh-Raka. And even then, we would have had more evidence of an Akaviri connection before now. There were clues in the past 4 games leading to Skyrim, apparently, and nothing among those clues relates at all to Akavir.

And Akavir isnt ruled over by a Dragon, One of 4 major races is ruled by like you said a Tiger-Dragon. and all the Dragons in Akavir are Dead so how would they impart a force to invade Skyrim?

Given the interest many are showing in Akavir it wouldn't surprise me to see it featured in an expansion.

^^ That is true, however, Tosh-Raka and his ilk are pretty much the dominant race there. After all, out of all the races there, it is only Tosh-Raka that apparently can claim the power and ability to invade Tamriel. So for the sake of simplicity, it is easier to say that Tosh-Raka is essentially the Emperor of Akavir, even though officially he doesn't carry that title, and would probably spark a war if he ever tried to claim that title and enforce it on the other races.

And I never said that that there were any living dragons (other than Tosh anyway) on Akavir, only that Akavir is largely connected to dragons, its name meaning, IIRC, land of the Dragons or something similar to that. You also have to remember that Tosh-Raka transformed into a dragon, and we could guess that he could pass this trait on to his most trusted people or warriors or indeed the whole of his people. Either way, he isn't invading as we already know that the dragons of Skyrim are following Alduin, not Tosh. Besides, it can be assumed that more Tosh-Raka like dragons would look similar to tigers and what not, and the dragon(s) we saw in GI look nothing like the sort.

.....Tsaeci and Kamal have invaded Tamriel before, and Ka'po'tun need an ALLY to fight the Tsaeci no less? yeah the Tsaeci can give those races a run for their money enhanced by the fact the the Ka'po'tun have a crap navy and the Tsaeci excel at ocean travel, hence their Invasion in the past.

Akavir is 4000 miles away, no attack is prudent by a Competent leader, Tsaeci excluded IE Disaster at Ionith.


also Tosh Raka is said to look like a Dragon but with the Strips of a Tiger, understand now? I know its weird to see a striped Dragon lol...and I don't want to visualize a reproduction session with a Stripped Dragon and a Poor Ka'po Concubine.

If you would have asked me a month ago, I would have said it is possible. At this point, however, I do not think it will happen.

It's a shame though. I was really hoping to see some snake people and snow demons.

Me too, my friend, me too.

Why does everyone assume all info on Akavir is 100% accurate? It's highly possible that at least some dragons still exist there, and possibly even that that is where the current Skyrim dragons will have come to Tamriel from. The history is very limited and of questionable reliability, since there is practically never any contact with Tamriel.

I think at very least we will hear some more information from the Nerevarine's expedition.

I found the book The Mysterious Akavir to be poorly written, and it turned me off to wanting to know more about Akavir.

It would be nice to get a map but its very unlikely as for the second one no

Any connection to Akavir has not been ruled out. You can't make such a blatant assertion with only a shred of information about the game. But I did vote that we will most likely not go to Akavir or get a map.



It was his fault! He saved Vvardenfell just to doom the world by awakening Alduin. I always knew the Nerevarine wasn't that bright.

Maybe in an expansion?

It will be DLC if anything imo. I don't see why they couldn't have more information on the land tho, except the fact that only the Nerevarine has been there recently as far as we know and he kind of disappeared.

This is the way I think about it. For example, in the Middle Ages, many Europeans believed that fantastical beasts and strange peoples roamed Africa, so why would it be farfetched that contemporary Tamrielic literature would embellish stories of the Akaviri in the same way?

I seriously doubt it. I don't even want to, I'm still waiting for the Summerset Isle to appear.

To Europeans in the middle ages, Africa WAS filled with very strange beasts, and Africas peoples customs were entirely different.

In saying that, I agree that the information we have on Akavir is definitely invalid. How would the author know of this stuff anyway, the only contact Tamriel has had with Akavir was through war. The book stating that 'When they are not busy trying to invade Tamriel, they are fighting with each other.' stands out as extremely dodgy to me, if they are always warring eachother, how could they get close to organising an invasion of Tamriel? Also, UESP labels it as inaccurate lore, which to me seems pretty good evidence that it is.

I don't want to ever see Akavir.
What makes Akavir a cool place is the mystery, the fact that the only things we know about it are from what we read in books.
As soon as they make a game with Akavir in it we lose that mystery, and it won't be as cool anymore.


Also, Akavir - Avrika - Africa. Coincidence?
