What do you think happened to Cyrodiil 200 years into the 4th era? Is there an official explanation as to what happens? Does the Arcane university still exist? Is Cyrodiil in as much a decline as portions of Skyrim are?

I'm just wondering about all this, as I just tried to do some research and can't find anything official. I only looked at UESP, though.

*Yawns*... tongue.gif ...

Prefer my version... biggrin.gif ...

Don't forget the Greg Keyes novels...They apparently are cannon...

And although the Arcane University is there, the Mage's Guild has been disbanded...


EDIT...I worried all afternoon that the yawn looked rude...Sorry about that...I meant it towards the book...I have made my feelings on the Thalmor idea quite plain... biggrin.gif ...

And in my version Cyrodiil lives on as it does in Lothran´s game. No wars, no gates, no trouble. Everyone just explore and raid caves biggrin.gif

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.

And thereby hangs Bethesda's problem. What the player does becomes canon, and the TES series is a success because they made it so open. So the lore has to constantly accommodate multiple incompatible situations, because even for one user, their characters leave the world in multiple states.

But they don't want to create a whole scenario, and new lore, for each game they bring out. Building on the existing makes it all richer, but increases the difficulty of incorporating the player's actions. Maybe they need to eliminate the player for TES:VI?
