if you were an elder scrolls fan and not just a fan because of skyrim then in the previous game you got to play in cyrodiil and in the game before that morrowind.. lol
This video is 6 years old but the imperial city was placed there so it could be visible after Meridia’s beacon quest when you’re transported up in the air.
I think it serves simply as a background for the word, so that when you stand on top of the Throat of the World or somewhere else, it doesn't look like Skyrim is suspended in nothingness, but is in fact part of the continent. I highly doubt it was intended to be a dlc location.
I fould an interview ith Todd Howard and he said he that programmers calculated that from the highest point in skyrim imperial city should be seem, so they added it as an astetic.
only 12 days after release. while this guy isn't popular, he certainly is legendary for keeping this in Bethesdas history. and here i am, commenting 5 years later... im old
If you continue going down the path outside Dayspring Canyon you can go up with toggle collisions or whatever and you'll see a giant mountain in the distance which I'd guess represents Morrowind.
I read in an interview with Todd Howard that they added this in to fill up the distant map. They needed to add something in there for the players who explored the extreme edges of the map. :)
I know my comment is 5 years too late, but: Maybe they were planning to create a DLC which would make it actually possible to travel in there and they even started with the development. However soon they realised it would be way too big for just a simple DLC and scrapped the whole thing. But for a single monument or memorial they left the tower texture there. Or maybe its there just for lols I don't really know. :-D
I was riding a dragon but when I tried to land it glitched and just flew all the way to Cyrodiil and past the tower, I was quite pleased with that well traveled dragon...
You can actually walk to it if you don't have modding capabilities (I have an xbox 360 and did it). What you do is hop the gate due south of Southfridge Sanctum (you can crawl over the rocks to the right of the gate) and then go down the slopes and valleys and you'll come to it. Granted before you get to it you'll drop off the map and into water, and the land is just visual and not walkable, but you can still swim to it (or walk if you have the boots that allow you to walk on water).
I was thinking about this not too long ago. I think it would be awesome if somebody made a mod where if you had skyrim, oblivion, morrowind then you could travel to skyrim, cyrodiil and morrowind respectively, without having to exit your game. Though a few things would make this really difficult.
They really need to make the next Elder Scrolls map span multiple regions, that would be hard to do but worth it. Maybe 2 of the smaller regions such as Valenwood and Elsweyr or High Rock and Hammerfell.
@@FinTungate One makes you either turn into a vampire or a furry, one actually goes to Morrowwind but its just a small bit, and I lowkey forgot what the other DLC does
That gate is probably there for some future dlc, wouldnt see any other reason. Maybe the pillar is there from a test or something and they just forgot to delete it? Or assumed no one would notice?
My guess is that It was intended for the beginning of the game's intro. Since you are seen riding in the direction away from the border towards Helgen, It was probably going to be the starting area but the intro would have carried out way longer.
You don't need console commands. Xbox and PS cando it too. You can get out of the map from riften by roof jumping and jumping out of the city (while technically still being in the city). From there, just climb the mountains and run you ass out there.
It's interesting how everyone wants to go back to Cyrodil/Imperial City to see how it turned out over the years. I for one, hope Bethesda makes some sort of DLC (Even if it's short) to return back to the Imperial City and see how it turned out.

Actually, you can see the Imperial City from either the South-most mountain or the Throat of the World. Same with Vvardenfell and the Easternmost mountain. Provided, your playing on HD.
To be perfectly honest Bethesda IS probably in the process of creating the whole world of Tamriel to fit in one game. Cyrodil, Elsweyr, a remaster of Morrowind etc. are all taking a long time to create. And you know what they said: "We don't have the technology quite yet"... Makes perfect sense. They're are also many in-game references and I mean many. Take a look at the Dragonborn DLC.. You can SEE Vvardenfell from Solstheim which was originally Skyrim's main island. You can go to Morrowind!... Fuck i'm done. #ES6Hype
Don't You think it'll take longer for them to have to remaster morrowind, put black marsh DLC, make elsweyr and valenwood fit in an elder scrolls game, make a summerset isles standalone game, and put hammerfell and high rock together into an implemented elder scrolls game of the series? Wouldn't it be a lot easier to just say screw it and create all of Tamriel accessible from one game? Yeah, may need a lot of memory but it's better than making the fans pay for 5 different games!
I'd rather pay for 5 different games over the course of like 20 years than pay for a single rushed piece of garbage calling itself Elder Scrolls VI. I mean if you're talking like another 15 years before the game comes out, sure... shave a couple years off and you _might_ have a decent game. But what's the point? In 20 years when technology has advanced to the point where we can have games like that then they could start production of it. But as things stand it's not like they could actually get much done beyond creating a concept, which they already have. If you're that in a rush to have everything in one package, stick with Elder Scrolls Online. That's basically their placeholder for something that big anyway, and it's essentially what they have/would create if they tried to combine them all. I'd much rather a more compacted game with a ton of detail than some huge mess with little to no effort put into it. In hindsight Elder Scrolls has very few titles to its name to even suggest that it's too many games to have to buy. Look at Final Fantasy, or Assassin's Creed, or Metal Gear and then try and complain about TES.
Yeah... They're not going to come out with 5 standalone games over the course of 20 years. They are talking about creating the Elder Scrolls 6, and yes of course we don't know how long it's going to take. But that doesn't mean my point was Bethesda was going to have to come out with every province of Tamriel before Elder Scrolls 6 can even begin to be created... You're talking about you'd rather play 5 different games before you get to play Elder Scrolls 6? Sounds like a loser remark to me... And what will the game even be called then? Don't you realize the games are in fucking chronological order in the series?
*+Eli7222DNS* Um... what? That's neither what I said, nor what you said before. _You_ said they should create all of Tamriel into one game in the next installment. That was the comment I replied to, that you made just previously. I'm not saying create 5 games before Elder Scrolls 6. I'm saying the game you're talking about shouldn't be viable until like Elder Scrolls 10. Unless we have to wait decades from now for Elder Scrolls 6, then creating all of Tamriel would just be a rushed piece of garbage hardly worthy of being compared to any of the current ones. And I really don't think something like that is even possible with the technology currently on the market. You're talking about something incomparably bigger than any game we've ever seen. I don't think they'd even be able to market it to the public even if they were able to create it. You'd have to be rich to be able to afford equipment that could run something that large. Unless you want something with graphics like Daggerfall, then it's just not reasonable to hope for something on that scale. Bethesda would be liable to go out of business producing a flop that huge.
+Archeides, we have the technology, look at skywind and skyblivion, a bunch of guys are developing all of the provenance to go onto the one map, it can be done, also there was a gate there, maybe you might of been able to go to oblivion in a later DLC or maybe not, maybe they are saving all the landmasses so when they finally have enough of them they can just make it one big game, i think i would rather the seperate games first but i think Bethesda really wants to do something that would blow every other RPG out of the bloody market
Pinkie Posh This could be a Pre-rendered project they were working on but decided to take it out of the game from reaching the area. However they either forgot about it or they decided to leave it in and thought no one would actually find it. Or, after having this in the game they wanted to keep this in the game instead of removing it from their project so instead they just had it as an Easter Egg. There are plenty of games that have pre-rendered areas like Shadow of the Colossus. Bethesda would't make a whole area for just nothing so it was there probably when they abandoned their little project. Either way Bethesda knew what they were doing when they made this.
They used the same map of Oblivion to copy and past to place that map behind the Oblivion's original location to make the bases for Skyrim. I think its a way to recycle rather than just starting from scratch. which is pretty smart, only thing they had to do is add much more details, new terrain, and unique locations based on the original map of "Elder scrolls 1 Arena."
@@puremarblec Well, it's been a while since I played Skyrim, but I'm pretty sure you hold right click while moving your mouse. Left click pans the map around, while right click rotates the camera on the map screen. From there, I just scrolled to the south of the map, turned the camera south, and zoomed in using the scroll wheel. At least I'm pretty sure that was how I did it. Oh, and it was the original PC version I was playing, not the Special Edition. I'm not sure if it's possible on the Special Edition or on consoles.
I kind of doubt they would have needed to do that, to be honest. Different games scale differently for one thing... and that still wouldn't help with the rest of the continent, so it would make more sense to equally scale the entire continent at the same time.
I'll say it's a easter egg intended for mod/PC users as...well why in the world would they add that when no normal gamer can't see without cheating/hacking? Maybe it was meant to be seeable but they cut it?
You can do it in the vanilla console game: 1) Do restoration potion loop (google for it) to get a +500% resto potion; 2) Drink it, don the Amulet of Talos while under effect of the potion to get zero-cooldown shouts (not patched so far); 3) Complete the main questline to get the Call Dragon shout; 4) Complete the Dragonborn DLC questline to get the Bend Will shout; 5) Go to the gate to Cyrodiil just south of Southfringe Sanctun; 6) Call Odahvving once there; 7) Bend Will him, climb aboard and enjoy the vista. The dragon will keep flying in circles high above the gate. The tower will be to the southwest of your position. Bend Will-ing a random dragon and fast travelling to Southfringe Sanctum won't work as the dragon will not fly close the border or high enough.
Its not unfinished content, the island the tower is on isnt large enough to house a proper scale imperial city. Its literally just an easter egg that if you look at just the right time on top of the throat of the world can see the tower. You can also see morrowinds red mountain too, and yes, it was there before the dragonborn dlc was released, its an easter egg too.
A thing that would be very good is that in further expansions they would add other provincies like cyrodiil that would be actually very in-depth not like some things just put there.
On the 360 version you can actually just climb your way through the mountains and see it. Like Jayden below, I actually went off the edge of the world and dropped into the sea and swam out to it, but of course I just went right through it like it was a mirage. So I quick traveled to Riften, which it let me do despite the fact I was still swimming around.
@@indycole396 Dude this is an eight year old comment. stfu. ive literally got two degrees since i made comment. skyrim was already boring by the time i commented this
I doubt they wasted that much time creating it. Come one. It is basically two cylinders with low res texture on them. How much you would need to creat that? 5, 10 minutes? Well, with surrounding landscape half of an hour at its best. I think it just an easter egg and nothing more. There are always people who try to decieve the game in all possible ways, go through invisible walls etc. And there always were such people. So developers created a little "present" especially for such kind of players.
There is the chance that we were probably meant to visit the Imperial City in a quest in Skyrim or perhaps planned DLC. It's not the first time a game series visited a place from a previous game. GTA San Andreas had a mission where you traveled to Liberty City from GTA 3 for a short while.
It's a piece of flavoring for loyal TES fans who played the other games, they'd notice the tower if they looked around when Meridia lifts the character
I just found this Easter egg by mistake on my own. I had a mod that turned off world boarders but forgot it was installed. I kept thinking to myself "when am I going to hit the world boarder". Usually theres an actual boarder blocking you but I went past it and saw some small buildings and assumed it was the boarder (It was at night with heavy snow). I felt like I hit the skyrim backrooms, both unsettling and interesting. Crazy how in a few years the beyond skyrim team will make this playable.
@AverageTerror no skyrim and cyrodil combined is only 0.2% the size of daggerfall. dagger fall is literally over 60,000 miles, and skyrim is 17 miles, and cyrodil is 16 miles
The Plane of Mundus takes place in the Aetherious, in Aetherious there is Sovngarde (the Nordic Paradise) too and out of it in the void there are Planes of Oblivion and all of them are inside the universe called Aurbis. Aurbis is actually the interplay between two twins : Anu(Satak) and Padomay (Sithis) . From their blood the et' ada (original spirits - Aedra and Daedra) were created. I'm not mentioning about all the deteails but it is too sad that people saying Cyrodill is the planet.
Which will continue to allow the heightmaps to render instead of confining yourself to just that one cell. It's much easier to do via ini without having to fuck around with the console.
I honestly wouldn't think that this would be a DLC, but it'd be nice if Bethesda added it in. Also, they put the tower there because Cyrodiil IS right beside Skyrim.
They made it so that if you climb a mountain and look over the border, there is something there! It may not be highly detailed, but it looks like there is a world beyond, not just endless white.
This is amazing, viewing in 2024 before the hoped release of Hammerfell, and it's such a beautiful detail to include, really adds to the immersion of the game. God I pray Hammerfell is everything Skryim/Oblivion was and more, please Bethesda, please
He said the Imperial City, not the entire imperial province. Considering the role the emperor played in the main game through the Dark Brotherhood quest, and the fact that Skyrim is in a civil war, it has a very high chance of being added actually. Next time you feel like being the 'know it all', make sure you can at least read, illiteracy kind of destroys any validity you may of had.
Bethesda should really develop an expansion pack where these gates would be open and the Nords would have access to Cyrodiil to fight against the Aldmeri Dominion...
@StovitskaRussian I agree! My friend said it perfectly: "Oblivion is a small pond that is very deep and Skyrim is a huge lake that is very shallow". I don't hate Skyrim, but Oblivion is on another level.

+Archeides, we have the technology, look at skywind and skyblivion, a bunch of guys are developing all of the provenance to go onto the one map, it can be done, also there was a gate there, maybe you might of been able to go to oblivion in a later DLC or maybe not, maybe they are saving all the landmasses so when they finally have enough of them they can just make it one big game, i think i would rather the seperate games first but i think Bethesda really wants to do something that would blow every other RPG out of the bloody market
I can see someone over there!

What the actual fuck? why? why would bethesda do this?
Pinkie Posh This could be a Pre-rendered project they were working on but decided to take it out of the game from reaching the area. However they either forgot about it or they decided to leave it in and thought no one would actually find it. Or, after having this in the game they wanted to keep this in the game instead of removing it from their project so instead they just had it as an Easter Egg. There are plenty of games that have pre-rendered areas like Shadow of the Colossus. Bethesda would't make a whole area for just nothing so it was there probably when they abandoned their little project. Either way Bethesda knew what they were doing when they made this.
+Pinkie Posh Its cool tbh
Devs like to do this cods have really detailed outlands like on one map you can find Las Vegas
They used the same map of Oblivion to copy and past to place that map behind the Oblivion's original location to make the bases for Skyrim. I think its a way to recycle rather than just starting from scratch. which is pretty smart, only thing they had to do is add much more details, new terrain, and unique locations based on the original map of "Elder scrolls 1 Arena."
ES:Arena was randomly generated.
I was able to glitch into this area on the Xbox. Till this day I don't know how I did it, but I rode all the way out to the tower on a stolen horse.
This is one of the best Easter eggs ever!
Just imagine when Elder Scrolls 6 comes out in a couple years what all stuff they will add out of bounds. The entire continent probably.
IF it comes out
I was able to see the Imperial City by turning my view in that direction while I was on the map screen.
How did you turn the map south as much as I try it's impossible
@@puremarblec Well, it's been a while since I played Skyrim, but I'm pretty sure you hold right click while moving your mouse. Left click pans the map around, while right click rotates the camera on the map screen. From there, I just scrolled to the south of the map, turned the camera south, and zoomed in using the scroll wheel. At least I'm pretty sure that was how I did it. Oh, and it was the original PC version I was playing, not the Special Edition. I'm not sure if it's possible on the Special Edition or on consoles.
i love how cyrodiil is bigger than skyrim but here they made it tiny
I think it's a development for the game elder scrolls online, to make sure how big it is from cyroild and skyrim.
I kind of doubt they would have needed to do that, to be honest. Different games scale differently for one thing... and that still wouldn't help with the rest of the continent, so it would make more sense to equally scale the entire continent at the same time.
ESO uses a different engine. This was something that was intended to be viewable, but never actually was.
I just ran south and ended up in a sea, swimming for an hour towards hammerfell. Pretty neat vid!
I'll say it's a easter egg intended for mod/PC users as...well why in the world would they add that when no normal gamer can't see without cheating/hacking? Maybe it was meant to be seeable but they cut it?
You can do it in the vanilla console game: 1) Do restoration potion loop (google for it) to get a +500% resto potion; 2) Drink it, don the Amulet of Talos while under effect of the potion to get zero-cooldown shouts (not patched so far); 3) Complete the main questline to get the Call Dragon shout; 4) Complete the Dragonborn DLC questline to get the Bend Will shout; 5) Go to the gate to Cyrodiil just south of Southfringe Sanctun; 6) Call Odahvving once there; 7) Bend Will him, climb aboard and enjoy the vista. The dragon will keep flying in circles high above the gate. The tower will be to the southwest of your position. Bend Will-ing a random dragon and fast travelling to Southfringe Sanctum won't work as the dragon will not fly close the border or high enough.

Funny how time flies. See you lot in 2032. 🤣
its not an easter egg its unfinished content for the game this is what skyrim remastered shuld have bing
Its not unfinished content, the island the tower is on isnt large enough to house a proper scale imperial city. Its literally just an easter egg that if you look at just the right time on top of the throat of the world can see the tower. You can also see morrowinds red mountain too, and yes, it was there before the dragonborn dlc was released, its an easter egg too.
It's there simply so that if you look beyond Skyrim's border you won't see an empty void. It's just for realism sake.
Big Deano Plays dumbass did you call cyrodiil a island?
Big Deano Plays or are you referring to the land in the lake the city is on
A thing that would be very good is that in further expansions they would add other provincies like cyrodiil that would be actually very in-depth not like some things just put there.
Lmao this one didnt age well
@@ExtremeMan10 Oh boy sure it didn't haha.
6 years later: Beyond Skyrim Bruma
its actually there because you can see it on the map and and they needed it to be there physically to have to show up on the map
You can do the whirlwind sprint through a plate trick as well. No commands needed.
On the 360 version you can actually just climb your way through the mountains and see it. Like Jayden below, I actually went off the edge of the world and dropped into the sea and swam out to it, but of course I just went right through it like it was a mirage. So I quick traveled to Riften, which it let me do despite the fact I was still swimming around.
i'd be fine if they just uploaded oblivion through that gate and you could walk around and do that story
But... that story takes place literally hundreds of years before Skyrim... its in a different era...
@@indycole396 Dude this is an eight year old comment. stfu. ive literally got two degrees since i made comment. skyrim was already boring by the time i commented this
I doubt they wasted that much time creating it. Come one. It is basically two cylinders with low res texture on them. How much you would need to creat that? 5, 10 minutes? Well, with surrounding landscape half of an hour at its best.
I think it just an easter egg and nothing more. There are always people who try to decieve the game in all possible ways, go through invisible walls etc. And there always were such people. So developers created a little "present" especially for such kind of players.
Makes you wonder what they are doing with all of the landmasses already designed
12 years old. Unbelivable. I still feel that Skyrim is a new game...
There is the chance that we were probably meant to visit the Imperial City in a quest in Skyrim or perhaps planned DLC. It's not the first time a game series visited a place from a previous game. GTA San Andreas had a mission where you traveled to Liberty City from GTA 3 for a short while.
skyrim is up north of Cyrodiil
when your in skyrim, Cyrodiil is south of you
It's a piece of flavoring for loyal TES fans who played the other games, they'd notice the tower if they looked around when Meridia lifts the character
Cool video, thanks. Man I would love to see Cyrodiil with better graphics. Doubt they will go back there though.
just imagine how awesome it would be if you could go cyrodil when ever you want...
@sirus804 I kind of agree, it may not be an Easter Egg, since Skyrim IS up north of Cyrodiil.
You seem to be a smart man ! Sir, YOU OWN THE INTERNET !
they're both really good games that have their advantages and disadvantages none of them is better than the other
I just found this Easter egg by mistake on my own. I had a mod that turned off world boarders but forgot it was installed. I kept thinking to myself "when am I going to hit the world boarder". Usually theres an actual boarder blocking you but I went past it and saw some small buildings and assumed it was the boarder (It was at night with heavy snow). I felt like I hit the skyrim backrooms, both unsettling and interesting. Crazy how in a few years the beyond skyrim team will make this playable.
@AverageTerror no skyrim and cyrodil combined is only 0.2% the size of daggerfall. dagger fall is literally over 60,000 miles, and skyrim is 17 miles, and cyrodil is 16 miles
The Plane of Mundus takes place in the Aetherious, in Aetherious there is Sovngarde (the Nordic Paradise) too and out of it in the void there are Planes of Oblivion and all of them are inside the universe called Aurbis. Aurbis is actually the interplay between two twins : Anu(Satak) and Padomay (Sithis) . From their blood the et' ada (original spirits - Aedra and Daedra) were created. I'm not mentioning about all the deteails but it is too sad that people saying Cyrodill is the planet.
Instead of typing tgm, you can type: player.setav speedmult 200
(100 is your normal speed. 200 doubles it, type any number between 100-1000.)
Which will continue to allow the heightmaps to render instead of confining yourself to just that one cell. It's much easier to do via ini without having to fuck around with the console.
I honestly wouldn't think that this would be a DLC, but it'd be nice if Bethesda added it in. Also, they put the tower there because Cyrodiil IS right beside Skyrim.
They made it so that if you climb a mountain and look over the border, there is something there! It may not be highly detailed, but it looks like there is a world beyond, not just endless white.
The Imperial City was supposed to be in Skyrim but apparently they cancelled that request and just left it as an Easter Egg
The name of the planet is Nirn, or Mundus. Tamriel is the continent in which the games take place on.
This is amazing, viewing in 2024 before the hoped release of Hammerfell, and it's such a beautiful detail to include, really adds to the immersion of the game. God I pray Hammerfell is everything Skryim/Oblivion was and more, please Bethesda, please
He said the Imperial City, not the entire imperial province. Considering the role the emperor played in the main game through the Dark Brotherhood quest, and the fact that Skyrim is in a civil war, it has a very high chance of being added actually.
Next time you feel like being the 'know it all', make sure you can at least read, illiteracy kind of destroys any validity you may of had.
@evilnordking no they're not dead.... they just haven't been seen or heard of by tamerial since the second era
If you have a valid point, you cannot be labeled as a hater
Anyone still playing this in 2021?
This game is all I've been playing for the past month lol
SKYRIM FOREVER 💅🏻
It's either an easter egg to be seen from the throat of the world or something for modders to use
@iszalgocomin no it was randomly generated 2D and low quality,eye wrecking graphics, put all those toghether and that is why it is so big
Bethesda should really develop an expansion pack where these gates would be open and the Nords would have access to Cyrodiil to fight against the Aldmeri Dominion...
It gets rid of the heavy blizzards in most places but yes there is still a little snowfall remaining.
I think this exists because in Meridia's quest you get lifted up high.
Yeah Bethesda actually put the extended map there on purpose; as you said, they were thinking of having a dlc.
would be epic to actually look around the imperial city(while on ground)
Cyrodill is a country on the continent of Tamriel, which resides in the realm of Nirn, or the mortal realm.
@StovitskaRussian I agree! My friend said it perfectly: "Oblivion is a small pond that is very deep and Skyrim is a huge lake that is very shallow". I don't hate Skyrim, but Oblivion is on another level.
It makes you wonder why Bethesda even bothered making the Cyrodiil on the map. As far as I can tell you can't see it from any of the mountains...
@makedonas86 The interior looks alot like a Roman type design, but the exterior is a unique circular wall surrounded by smaller districts.
