The new The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim game is already a massive world to explore and adventure in. But even more landmass has been discovered by a gamer in Finland, who travelled to the Southern-easternmost edge of Skyrim, Stendarr’s Beacon. Where he discovered a path that ends in an invisible wall at a stone archway, which theoretically would lead to lands of Morrowind.
To investigate more he jumped into non clip mode and ventured past the gate, and into Morrowind. As he progressed the textures started to detail down. But the discovery of the additional landmass might indicate a new DLC that might open it up at a later date.
The Significance of Stendarr’s Beacon
Stendarr’s Beacon is a notable location in Skyrim, known for its strategic placement and historical significance. It serves as a watchtower and a place of worship dedicated to Stendarr, the God of Mercy. The discovery of a hidden path at this location adds an intriguing layer to its lore. The stone archway and the invisible wall suggest that the developers, Bethesda, might have had plans for this area that are yet to be revealed. The potential connection to Morrowind, a neighboring province, opens up a plethora of possibilities for future expansions or updates.
Speculations and Future Possibilities
It just seems a little funny to have gone to all the trouble of ending the path with a gate if it were never to be used. This discovery has led to widespread speculation among the gaming community. Could Bethesda be planning a new DLC that expands the game world into Morrowind? The Elder Scrolls series has a rich history of interconnected worlds, and the inclusion of Morrowind would be a nostalgic nod to long-time fans of the series.
Moreover, the presence of unfinished textures and landscapes beyond the invisible wall suggests that this area was either a scrapped idea or a future project in the making. Bethesda is known for its expansive DLCs that add significant content to their games. For instance, the “Dragonborn” DLC for Skyrim allowed players to explore the island of Solstheim, which was previously featured in The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. This precedent makes the possibility of a Morrowind expansion even more plausible.
But only time will tell, and the game’s developer Bethesda might have other plans for the discovered lands, and even open them up to developers. As always, if any more information comes to light, we will let you know. The gaming community is eagerly awaiting any official announcements from Bethesda regarding this discovery.
