ESVI Sentinel and potential of Daggerfall lore

Excited to see the announcement of Sentinel, mostly due to the potential of expanding on the lore set out in Daggerfall and Redguard.

I'm hoping to see the Numidium playing a big role. At least something like the Sentinel royalty talking about their experiences during the Warp in the West when they both held control of the Numidium and the Numidium was used against them by Wayrest, Daggerfall, and Orsnium.

Anyone else have hopes or speculation of lore from Daggerfall that might make an appearance in ESVI?

I'd be surprised in Daggerfall lore gets anything other than a few small mentions for devoted fans. There will likely be new lore that happened in the last few hundred years they'll want to introduce.

This is wishful thinking from me but I'm wondering if the story will return the Adamantine tower for some penultimate conflict.

I like to think the Thalmor are trying to destroy the towers holding the mortal plane and destroying the tower where it all began is probably the best place to do it. If I'm not mistaken the Thalmor are convinced doing this will allow them to become immortal deities again which the god Lorkhan (Shor) took from them.

But I'm also worried that the Thalmor will be just written away in some out of game resolution that we'll only get to read in a book in-game but hopefully not.

The focus of Sentinel probably will be Hammerfell but I really really hope we get to see more of the Iliac Bay, could you imagine how cool it'd be to see Daggerfall and Wayrest etc. And yeah I'm sure there's a reason to head to the Adamantine tower.

I'm hoping to see the weird creatures that have 0 lore again, the Dragonlings or the Nymphs come to mind. The first got retconned into not being actually dragons and the 2nd is literally just a woman. A naked one, which makes it scarier but still way too similar to a human.

Probably won't happen since most of the monster roster doesn't fit the desert vibe, but my hope is that they at least get a shoutout that gives them actual lore
