Mournhold

Morrowind's walled mainland capital, the setting of Tribunal.

Mournhold is the capital of the province of Morrowind, a self-contained walled city on the mainland that is the setting of The Elder Scrolls III: Tribunal. It is not connected to Vvardenfell, so the player must teleport there from Morrowind's main landmass.

Lore & Background

Tribunal's central quests task the player with resolving the tensions between the King of Morrowind, Hlaalu Helseth, and the Living God Almalexia, and the head of the Dark Brotherhood is found and defeated in the city. Critics noted that confining the expansion to one city sidestepped Morrowind's sense of emptiness and bland outdoor landscapes. The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall was itself originally titled Mournhold and set in Morrowind before being relocated to High Rock and Hammerfell.
