Shouldn't the Auriel religion be called the Aldmeri Pantheon or something?

I have no drop of doubt, that when TES VI comes out, it will completely ignore ESO Lore, and continue where it left out with Skyrim. TES is simply a train when it comes to Lore, it goes in its own direction and there is no stopping it. ESO is like a car, it will go where ever it wants, however it wants, and it will not care how it gets there.
And EK mod is a passenger on the TES train, that at least is certain.
I honestly think it is more likely they'll go the opposite way, and try their best to establish ESO as lore. If ESO survives as a game they would be foolish not to.
More likely they'll pick and choose and be completely vague about what's supported and what's not. If they need an idea they can take it, but they don't get stuck with the lot.
If I am not mistaken, thats the reason why Bethesda had them do it 1000 years in the past, so they could ignore/retcon parts of it if they had to.
Makes sense - Besides these big cataclysmic events need some time apart to seem remotely probable.
Bethesda's publishing 'sector' is sepereate to it's developing part. . .
Nope.
They're probably ignoring it more than anything else. Why would they accept what another company did independantly over what they chose to happen?
I dont think that worries then, Arena, Daggerfall, Morrowind and Oblivion all happen under one Emperor. Bang, Bang, Bang um, Bang.
If something is good, they'll probably use that. Just not everything.
And anyway, not everything from the proper series is cannon in the next game so you know, picking and choosing is how it always goes.
Look at the descriptions of the political situation in the Imperial City in Morrowind v Oblivion. World's apart, there was a good example Dragonborn v Morrowind on it's pre-morrowind history too but it slips my mind. Point is, the cannon changes when they need it to for the new game.
If something is good they'll take it, if something is terrible, they wont.

From the book "Varieties of Faith" which pre-dates ESO.

Nope, just way more important to them than everyone else.
He's Jephre to humans I think.
Because they have a vested interest in the MMO succeeding and surviving. To discredit the cannon of the game is contrary to that overarching goal. There are few negatives for incorporating the game as cannon, and many positives.
They almost certainly will, as Orinsul states, pick and chose what they want to incorporate as proper cannon- which I never argued against- but make no mistake: the odds are overwhelmingly likely that (if ESO doesn't fold first) the next Elder Scrolls game will see parts of ESO as cannon.
I don't really think much of ESO is relevant to ES6. ES6 will most likely take place after Skyrim, 600+ years after ESO. Anything that happens in ESOs storyline will most likely be intentionally vague and irrelevant to an RPG that takes place over 600 years later.
Queen Ayrenn was born in 2E 555; Tiber Septim declared the Third Era in 2E 896 or so. Skyrim is set over 900 years after ESO.
It probably won't affect ES6 or any other future game, but it will likely remain cannon.
