  The second Elder Scrolls game, Daggerfall was also a city, actually pretty near Sentinel, just across the Illiac Bay.

  Arena was supposed to be a nickname for the whole continent of Tamriel. Oblivion is a place, but most of that game was set in Cyrodiil.

  So only two of the five so far, Morrowind and Skyrim, have been named after whole provinces.

    For some reason I recalled that whole starting region in Daggerfall being called Daggerfall. I must be misremembering the map.

      It was half in High Rock and half in Hammerfell. There were dozens of little kingdoms and principalities, almost all loyal to the Empire, and Daggerfall city was the capital of Daggerfall kingdom, but that was only a few percent of the total map area.

  If that’s it I’ll be annoyed just because sentinel is such corporate word. It feels corporate doesn’t it? Yes it’s a city there, but it’s the “safe” sounding word. I’m just bracing for the next elder scrolls to be like Starfield. Toxic positivity and writing right out of big corporate thinktanks.

      That is actually exactly what I was thinking of. A game so bland and corporate that it gave away its soul. The title is proof. The name went from Dragon Age: Dreadwolf (A name all the fans were excited about and a direct successor to the massive cliffhanger) to Veilguard. You could just tell it went through so many committees and had to be approved by 16 layers of middle management.

      Elder scrolls will be the same.

    The only reason I can think of they’d do sentinel over Hammerfell is if they’re going to try and turn it into a double meaning as both the city/role. Not a great reason, but eh.

  The Elder Scrolls 2: Daggerfall comes to mind.
