Great. Got Enchanting to 100 on another character. Why does Beth make this so tedious?

To see what this potential DLC could entail, Bethesda forum user Phyber pointed out the events during the month Hearthfire:

Heartfire is the ninth of the 12 seasons in the Elder Scrolls universe. It is considered to be a Fall (Autumn) month. (by our definition).
Annual Events during Hearthfire:

• 1st of Hearthfire: The Rites of Moawita practiced by the Psijic Order.
• 3rd of Hearthfire: Tales and Tallows - A celebration of Necromancy. Many citizens fear this day, and avoid the streets.
• 6th of Hearthfire: Khurat is celebrated in the Wrothgarian Mountains
• 12th of Hearthfire: Riglametha held in Lainlyn.
• 19th of Hearthfire: Children’s Day celebrated in Betony.

Seems like either the DLC could entail something with the Psijic Order, magic, necromancy, and/or High Rock. Or the trademark could be a trick on the marketing front since they could know people look up their trademarks like they did in the past for Skyrim, Oblivion’s DLCs and expansion, Oblivion, and I think for Morrowind and it’s DLCs/expansions too; Another thing to note is that Hearthfire is September in the Elder Scrolls universe http://www.imperial-library.info/content/calendar-tamriel, so maybe that’s when the DLC could be announced or released, a food for thought.

I’m betting on Necromancy

A Skyrim fan going by the handle of Kerellan has been poking around the Skyrim patch 1.5.26 update file, and has posted his findings regarding a “DLCO1” on the Bethesda forum.

According to Kerellan he found mention of Snow Elves, a Snow Elf prince, crossbows, new vampire feeding animations, and something prefixed “RF”, in the update file!

From The Elder Scrolls Wiki:

“The Snow Elves were a race of mer who inhabited Skyrim long before the Nords, before centuries of underground living and Dwemer slavery twisted the race into the blind merciless Falmer.

Not much is known of their origins, it is possible they were a hybrid of other Elven races.”

Interesting.

The Snow Elf statue of Irkngthand.

Gelatinous Dude recalls the large statue depicting a Snow Elf in the Dwemer ruins of Irkngthand, supposedly the only known visual representation of a Snow Elf in Skyrim..
