## Key points

- A teaser quote dated 4E 206 has fuelled timeline theories.
- Sentinel could begin five years after Skyrim.
- The quote may describe a much later future.

## Summary

A brief teaser for The Elder Scrolls VI: Sentinel has prompted fans to speculate about the game’s timeline, particularly because its closing quote is dated to 4E 206. If that date is also when the game takes place, Sentinel would be set five years after Skyrim, keeping the Dragonborn’s deeds and the region’s political tensions recent.

The teaser attributes the quote to Yazar, a Moth Priest serving Hammerfell’s High Queen Irande, and describes a vision of a lost future and undone victory. A five-year gap could leave Skyrim’s civil war unresolved and allow dragons to feature near Hammerfell, while the province’s strained history with the Empire and the Aldmeri Dominion could shape the setting. However, fans note that 4E 206 may only be the date of the prophecy; the game could instead take place decades or centuries later.
