Morrowind
The Dunmer province of Tamriel and the setting of The Elder Scrolls III.
Morrowind is the province of Tamriel that is home to the Dunmer, or Dark Elves, and the setting of The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, released for Windows on May 1, 2002 and for Xbox on June 7, 2002. The game's main story takes place on Vvardenfell, an island in the province, and its central plot revolves around the Tribunal, three god-like beings who rule Morrowind, and their struggle against their former ally, the demigod Dagoth Ur.
Lore & Background
Morrowind was first planned to cover the whole province and let the player join all five Dunmer Great Houses, but that scope was too much for the technology of the time and was cut back. The Tribunal expansion added the walled city of Mournhold, the province's capital on the mainland, which is reached by teleport, and Bloodmoon added the island of Solstheim to the north-west of Vvardenfell.
