The Psychology of Forbidden Cyrodiil
Wednesday, February 11, 2026
Today's video is a personal reflection on Project Cyrodiil's "Abecean Shores". For a while, I've been trying to figure out what makes this map so fascinating and nostalgic to me. I took down several notes and expanded them into this brief video essay. The focus is on the concept of "Forbidden Cyrodiil": the one created by the fan community, as opposed to the official one seen in Elder Scrolls 4. This video is NOT about which version of Cyrodiil is better/superior.
