Hey guys, have a new Elder Scrolls Online trailer for you. It's been up for the last couple of days, but I'm sharing it in case anyone out there has missed it. This introduces what looks to be the main conflict in the game aside from the apparent PvP driven faction conflicts. Apparently, some form of deadra come into Tamriel and introduce an undead plague in their brief incursion into our world. While this is a new concept to the Elder Scrolls games, there are a pair of novels that already delved into a similar type of concept.
These books, titled "The Elder Scrolls: The Infernal City" and "Elder Scrolls: Lord of Souls" are a 2-part story involving a city that crosses over into Tamriel from Oblivion, and creates an army of undead servants that begin wreaking havoc, and eventually attack the Imperial City. This concept seems to have either served as inspiration for this games conflict, or it is all entirely coincidental, which seems an odd coincidence. The books are set between the Oblivion Crisis and the return of the dragons, so this game couldn't be cover this event since the setting is centuries before either of the games take place.
I'm interested to hear more of the villains, and just how they fit into the story, quests, and the game as a whole. It could be interesting to band together with rivals to fight these deadra, and their undead army. It could also be interesting to compete with rivals to be the first to resolve this crisis and destroy them. The potential dynamic between reluctant allies or bitter rivals against a common foe could provide a great deal of entertainment and excitement as the game unfolds, but we still have a bit of a wait until the game releases, so we'll just have to see.
