Bethesda Softworks is once again inviting fans into the enchanting world of Tamriel, this time through a unique opportunity offered by the Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic charity auction. A fortunate bidder will have the chance to leave an indelible mark on The Elder Scrolls universe by collaborating with Bethesda's developers to design an NPC for The Elder Scrolls VI.
This isn't just about picking a name or a look; the winner will dive deep into the creative process alongside Bethesda's team to craft a character with potential influence on the game's lore. Whether envisioning a wandering scholar, a mysterious merchant, or a legendary warrior, the creative possibilities are vast. The winner might even choose to integrate a digital version of themselves into the expansive world of Tamriel.
Currently, the auction's leading bid is at $11,050, a figure expected to rise as the auction progresses. Meanwhile, Bethesda has kept details about The Elder Scrolls VI's release date under wraps, leaving fans eagerly anticipating the debut of this unique character.

Should the winner decide to immortalize themselves within The Elder Scrolls VI, they'll join the ranks of Shirley Curry, affectionately known as "Skyrim Grandma," whose likeness has already been confirmed for the game.
With no official launch date announced, it's speculated that The Elder Scrolls VI might not hit the shelves until 2026 or later. Yet, when it does, one fan's legacy will be permanently etched into the fabric of its world.
