UESP Helps Design The Elder Scrolls VI Memorial NPC After Matching Charity Bid

The character honors forum roleplayer Loranna Pyrel, a community figure cited by former designer Ted Peterson as influencing Elder Scrolls worldbuilding.

Overview

  • UESP said on October 9 that it finished a meeting with Bethesda to design a character for The Elder Scrolls VI.
  • The NPC is intended as a memorial to Loranna Pyrel, whose early‑2000s roleplay campaigns intersected with ideas later reflected in official materials.
  • Bethesda granted UESP the design opportunity on the condition the community matched the Make‑A‑Wish auction’s winning bid after UESP lost the original auction.
  • UESP partnered with fellow lore sites, including The Imperial Library, and leveraged a community fundraising drive to meet the required donation target.
  • Specifics about the character and any release timing remain undisclosed, making this one of the few concrete developments since the 2018 teaser.
