Bethesda Softworks is once again inviting fans into the enchanting world of Tamriel, but this time, it's not just for adventurers. Through a unique opportunity with the Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic charity auction, one fortunate bidder will have the chance to leave a lasting mark on The Elder Scrolls universe by collaborating with Bethesda's developers to design an NPC for The Elder Scrolls VI.
This isn't merely about selecting a name or designing an appearance. The winner will engage deeply with Bethesda's creative team to forge a character that could play a significant role in the game's rich lore. Whether envisioning a wandering scholar, a mysterious merchant, or a legendary warrior, the creative possibilities are vast. The winner also has the option to integrate a digital version of themselves into Tamriel’s ever-growing world, making their mark in a truly personal way.
Currently, the auction's leading bid is at an impressive $11,050, and with the auction still active, this figure is expected to rise. Notably, Bethesda has kept details about The Elder Scrolls VI's release date under wraps, keeping fans eagerly awaiting the moment they can meet this exclusive new character.

A similar auction was conducted for Starfield, yet the identity of the custom-designed NPC remains a mystery to the wider public.
Should the auction's winner choose to immortalize themselves in The Elder Scrolls VI, they will join the ranks of Shirley Curry, affectionately known as the "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 won't hit the shelves before 2026. However, when it does, one lucky fan's legacy will be forever etched into its expansive world.
