Whether it's Valenwood or Argonia, there's been plenty of speculation as to what the Elder Scrolls 6 setting will be. Bethesda is keeping incredibly tight-lipped on the topic however, especially regarding where the Elder Scrolls 6 location would be. If there's one game that's probably on most gamers' wishlist, it's Elder Scrolls 6.

For a start, it may be a necessity - the Empire's collapse would help patch over the outcome of Skyrim's Civil War regardless of which side the player chose. The total collapse of the Empire would be a great starting point for The Elder Scrolls 6. With the Empire standing in as a rough equivalent of the Roman Empire, Tamriel appears to be on the cusp of entering the Dark Ages, with the continent fracturing into warring factions along pre-Imperial lines. By the end of Skyrim's story, the Empire that existed at the end of Oblivion has lost much of Morrowind, and all of Valenwood, Elsweyr, the Summerset Isles, Hammerfell, and the Emperor himself.

In response to the terms of the Concordat, the Skyrim Civil War broke out, and when the Redguard of Hammerfell continued fighting, the Empire was forced to give up Hammerfell as an Imperial province.
In 4E 175 the White-Gold Concordat brought an end to the Great War between the Empire and the Dominion, with Talos worship banned across the continent.
The Dominion took control of Valenwood and Elsweyr and went to war with the Empire's fledging Mede Dynasty. The Argonians invaded Morrowind from the south, while the Thalmor rose to power in the Summerset Isles and founded the Third Aldmeri Dominion. The two centuries prior to Skyrim's start saw the eruption of the Red Mountain and the near-total destruction of Vvardenfell, the setting of Morrowind. This allowed Bethesda to explore far greater changes in the political landscape of Tamriel than seen before. Skyrim takes place in 4E 201, two centuries after the end of the Oblivion Crisis.
Over the course of the events of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion, the Septim Dynasty that started with Tiber Septim - AKA Talos - came to an end. The first four main games in the franchise all took place towards the end of the Third Era, under the reign of Emperor Uriel Septim the Seventh. Skyrim brought some big changes to Tamriel.
