An ingenious user has delved deep into the source code for Skyrim patch 1.8, discovering clues about the next Skyrim expansion.
Bethesda forum user Mardoxx (via Eurogamer) asserts that the next piece of DLC will be titled Dragonborn (Bethesda trademarked the name back in September) and will be set on the island of Solstheim, which lies to the North East of Skyrim. Perhaps most tantalising of all his assertions is the possibility of rising dragons. This could be a scripted event, of course – but still, it's FLYING A DRAGON!
Furthermore, Mardoxx states that main locations will include Raven Rock, Miraak Temple, Castle Karstaag and Telvanni Tower. He or she even claims to have discovered what they believe to be new HUD compass markers showing the new locations:
Clockwise from the top: Telvanni Tower, Solstheim, Raven Rock, Castle Karstaag, Standing Stones, To Skyrim, Miraak Temple.
And here's some of that source code (if that's your sort of thing) listing the new armour types said to be contained in the DLC. You'll also notice that it confirms the name of the expansion as 'Dragonborn'.

Apparently the DLC will let you cast spells on mounts, and contain new creatures and dwemer objects but "they're not that interesting", according to Mardoxx. No information has yet been released concerning future Skyrim DLC.
