Delusional Theory #4981: Yokuda and Sailing.

Theory/Speculation

I'm not one to usually speculate, but with being stuck working shifts as a nightguard and having nothing to do, some ideas do surface.

Despite me calling this a "theory", I don't actually believe any of these will be in the game. I'm just making stuff up because theorizing is fun. And hey, maybe in the future, we can look back at this and see how wrong or right I was.

Now, this theory goes under the assumption that two major community theories are true:

  • Hammerfell, which is likely tbh
  • Sailing, which is... possible, I guess.

But one question arises dominantly: What do you do with sailing on a continent with one bay? Sure, there's some islands, and naval battles are pretty cool, but a mostly land-locked continent doesn't provide too much for sailing when you really think about it.

That's where my next crackhead idea comes in: Yokuda.

Specifically because it sunk. Parts of Yokuda could have begun to "resurface" for whatever doo-hikey quirky Elder Scrolls™ lore reason, and are scattered around near where most of the Yokudan predecessors currently are: the coast of Hammerfell, home of the Redguards.

You would be exploring fragmented parts of Yokuda as islands, and whether these are procedurally generated or not is something that I'm not here to discuss as part of this theory. Maybe there could be unique loots and materials on them, they could be part of various quests and dungeons that can only be found once on those islands, or you could even build your very own little structure on one of the islands.

What's your opinion on this unlikely-to-be idea?
