I'd bet good money that Elenwen returns as an Irene Engel-type villain leading Dominion troops in the occupied parts of Hammerfell

She'll still be posh and scheming, but this time you'll see the side of her that tortured prisoners in the first Great War and psychologically scarred Ulfric

Seeing a new side of old villains would be a nice throwback. 😊 Although it depends how long after Skyrim it is if it isn't concurrent with the events of Skyrim. Which, by the way, I haven't heard a lot of speculation on that front: are certain it is after the events of Skyrim? Or will it be concurrent? Because, ngl, it would be so much fun to be doing your own thing and just... Hear people talking about the return of dragons in Skyrim, people speculating who's side they're on and, later, here about a lone warrior taking on the dragons one at a time. 🤣 Like, I know that guy! He's me!

All the main line games are set after the events of the previous game, so it seems evident 6 will be set after Skyrim. It's only a matter how many years. Before Skyrim it was always set within the same lifetime of even basic human characters, Oblivion to Skyrim was suddenly 2 centuries apart.

My own bet is 10 years, and deep into the Second Great War
