The Elder Scrolls 6: Sentinel fans ponder split timelines, alternative histories, and more as story speculation runs wild following latest teaser

Following the release of yesterday's brief new The Elder Scrolls 6: Sentinel teaser trailer, story speculation is running rampant across communities dedicated to the fantasy series, with fans theorising everything from alternative histories to split timelines.

Yesterday's teaser - which arrived as part of Bethesda's 40th anniversary celebrations and comes amid devastating cuts across Xbox's first-party studios - was minimal. It opened with a shot of desert sand, before revealing the subtitle 'Sentinel' and ending with a quote from an unknown character. It's not much to go on, but is proving just enough to encourage discussion around what may be in store for Bethesda's next RPG.

And a good place to start is that quote. "The scroll offered only a shimmer, a veil thinly lifted to my eyes," it reads. "A future lost. A victory undone. Sands of time scattered by fate." All this is attributed to Yazar, Moth Priest of High Queen Iradne of Hammerfell, , but some fans think the accompanying date - 4E 206 - might be just as significant.

"[Sentinel] likely takes place five or more years after the start of Skyrim," hypothesised Reddit user 04nc1n9. "Hammerfell is a monarchy, it hasn't changed to any other political system after their imperial secession. The monarchy of Hammerfell has a Moth Priest on hand, even though the Moth Priests are generally an Imperial thing. Hammerfell's monarch has access to an Elder Scroll after the Elder Scrolls scattered."

This unexpected link between Moth Priests and Hammerfell's High Queen has created speculation of its own.
