Maybe you will find one of those fabled polarm weapons when you get there?

Morrowind a part of the Tamriel continent/is another game in the TES series

Yeah i realized just now that I mistyped what I said and was thinking. I haven't finished skyrim nor play a heck of a lot of it so I assume that I am to find Morrowind lands somewhere am I right?
EDIT: Now skyrim is north so Morrowind would be South-East, thats the opposite of the direction I have been exploring of Skyrim.

morrowind isnt in the game area, they just added in landmass outside of the game area so that if you climb a mountain to have a look you can kinda make things out (think the white tower is visible from memory...)

Pretty sure DICE only started a couple of days ago.

I could be wrong, as I don't follow these things. Or maybe you're The Doctor.

the same was done in Oblivion. the same might have been done in morrowind but last i heard VVardenfel(the main game area) was an island situated in an inland sea, so not much interesting horizon there.

No much of a sea... it's more like a moat.
