    I love that it looks like there will be a lot of Dwemer related stuff in the expansion, more food for my wild theories. Also it sounds like we will get to pick what god to promote, Malacath or Trinimac which is super cool.

    So what does everybody think? I'm massively excited to see the Ancient Orc armor.

    Oh also here is the Zenimax stream showcasing a lot of the new Orsinium stuff: ZeniMaxOnlineStudios - Twitch

    Will hopefully be looking in to this one! Is it bad that I'm most excited by the new crafting style (after the new story content of course) :P

    Thank you very much Veloth for sharing this news and making my day.

    I am really excited about a few things here. The number one thing is the Maelstrom Arena. That is gonna add a whole new realm to explore for playing solo PvE which is my favorite thing.

    The other two things are bear mounts and shield dying!!! Finally. I am tired of my shields not matching my armor

    No problem :) 

    I wonder who the Daedric Prince that's in charge of Maelstrom is they mentioned in the stream. The way they described him sounded like Sheogorath but that wasn't his voice.

    The bear mounts are super cool but a little part of me wished they were giant wild boar instead.

    I have a feeling there will eventually be wild boars lol. As with a lot of fantasy games that continue to expand, you get a lot of different mounts and eventually anything you can think becomes one whether it is a flying pig or a boar.

    From what I read about the Maelstrom Arena, it seems like it isn't one of the main princes, but actually a demiprince Fa-Nuit-Hen. Don't quote me on that because I haven't found a really solid source yet. But if that is the case, they offers something we haven't really seen before because Zenimax and Bethesda have both shyed away from named lesser daedra like that in the actual gameplay. Would be very cool to see them expand on that idea and introduce more of the less known Daedra like the demiprinces because it would give more meat to their characters aside from just a mention here or there is some lorebooks. Of course, many of the people who follow TES already consider ESO non-canon so it might make too much of difference anyway in that respect.

    True, boars are just the most Orcish thing I can think of for a mount. It's pretty much guaranteed those weird looking domesticated animals the Orsimer have will be mounts at some point as well.

    Oh that would be a super sweet lore drop! I would actually love that if it turned out to be true, also I believe that the ESO Loremaster Archive have mentioned Fa-Nuit before. Pft the people that consider ESO non-canon are just in denial.
