Under the watchful supervision of someone wearing a rather serious piece of armor, the three ships, each likely representing one of TESO's three factions, approached a rocky shoreline.
Furthermore, as speculated on Reddit, the Bretons, a human race of elven origin who are skilled in magic and alchemy, are said to be featured in the next expansion. Fans are also convinced with that theory since the geography fits: High Rock, their home province, is a peninsula with a lengthy shoreline, plenty of rocky, harsh terrain and a number of islands in Tamriel's northwest.

'The Elder Scrolls Online' New Adventure
Other than that, ZeniMax, a video game holding company, claims that the new adventure will transport players to a previously unknown realm, complete with a new culture to discover and fresh stories to uncover. According to GameSpot, the actual location of that realm is unknown, however, some Elder Scrolls fans believe it could be a journey to Akavir, the region to the east of Tamriel.
If that's the case, the franchisee will have taken a significant step forward. While there is some lore surrounding Akavir and those who call it home, it is much more of a blank slate compared to lore-rich locations like Skyrim or Morrowind.
Nevertheless, "The Elder Scrolls Online" trrailer has already sparked a lot of speculation on the internet. Many people have noticed that the armor that appears around the 43-second mark seems to be Breton in design. The trailer's ships have also sparked some intriguing thoughts. Some have speculated that their location on the map indicates they are on their way to the destroyed continent of Yokuda.
The official Xbox Twitter account responded to the aforementioned Tweet by mentioning becoming "seasick," which could be a hint concerning ship fighting.
Until Bethesda issues an official statement, all of these are just speculations and fan theories. Clearly, the trailer has done a good job of generating anticipation for the big reveal. Fans appear to be very interested to see where the MMO is going, and the trailer's latest rendition of the Elder Scrolls theme has even been applauded.
