It would appear that the Elder Scrolls Online facebook page has released an official lore introduction to ESO. Take a look:

The constellation of the Serpent reappeared in the skies and grew so large that it seemed to threaten every star sign at once.

o.o

As one who plays a character who's always born under the Serpent this is interesting to me. lol
Wonder what it has to do with Bal tho...

Good read tho thanks for the post.

First point it that it states very clearly that the game will be set in 2E 583.

Great find, wouldn't have caught that myself, thank you. More accurately answers the question of when, and gives a much better explanation of the Alliances. Good start so far, looking forward to more.

Nice find. This should begin to help answer the questions of why all the events in ESO are happening at all.

iiiinteresting

This is particularly intriguing from a metaphysical perspective. Hope they give us a little more on the workings behind it.

"Eruptions of darkness have appeared in Nirn where one can step directly from Tamriel into Coldharbour"

Thats probably the raid dungeons. Glad they put this up. Its nice to get some lore and a bit of info for the game.

this looks promising. redguards

The best bit of info released so far!

Rule Covenant, Covenant rules the world!

It is a real shame that Beor would have to fight Targolak of High Rock
