We sort of knew about the split as most of it comes to us in-game from a book called The Crown of Freydis. So it's been established that there is this schism but we haven't really heard much about the details and extent of the tension. It's cool they described it as a cold war during the stream, so I share your sentiment about getting to see more of that stuff, for sure! Edit: it's like a reverse of TES Skyrim, I guess, in that the Westerners are the isolationists and traditionalists compared to the Eastern Nords who are happy to join the Pact etc.
That's interesting as well I suppose, I suppose for me the idea of them somehow being aligned with the remains of the Imperial City could be more interesting but since Cyrodiil is mostly just PVP (right?) and that's never interested me I have no idea how that's portrayed beyond the initial premise of ESO. So yeah for me that was where I was leaning, but anything will be interesting to me, love learning the politics behind each region we're introduced to.
I'm right with you there, Pocky! If i were to put my hopes into words then I'd be anticipating Morthal's Morihaus connection gets massively expanded upon, that we see more of Solitude's dark history pre-third era, Dragonbridge lore exploring the significance of that ancient bridge, and Ancient Nordic Meridia worship. I'd love it if Dragonbridge was somehow tied up with the temple of Merid, like being the route the pilgrims took and the town sprang up around that. Such a rich area to explore and almost a blank slate to work with
Oooh good points, Mor would almost certainly be the most fascinating thing for them to explore that I can think of off the top of my head. I'm sure that I could think of something else but ever since you've introduced me to the whole Morthal thing the more interested I've become in Skyrim's perception of Mor. If they've specifically mentioned Morthal then that's the obvious angle isn't it? Unless they go with something new I suppose.
