Section 5: Guide To Vvardenfell
=============================================================================
Morrowind is the northeastmost province of the Tamrielic Empire, bounded
on the north and east by the Sea of Ghosts, on the west by Skyrim, on the
southwest by Cyrodiil (also known as the Imperial Province), and on the
south by Black Marsh (also known as Argonia). Vvardenfell District
encompasses Vvardefell Island, a great land mass dominated by the giant
volcano Red Mountain and cut off from mainland Morrowind by the
surrounding Inner Sea.
Only recently open to settlement and trade, most of the island's
population is confined to the relatively hospitable west and southwest
coast, centered on the ancient city of Vivec and the old Great House
district centers at Balmora, Ald'ruhn, and Sadrith Mora. The rest of the
island is covered by hostile desert wastes, arid grasslands, and
volcanic badlands, and thinly populated by the nomadic Ashlander tribes.
Vvardenfell has nine basic geographic regions, each with their own
distinctive plants and terrain features. Scholars have based their
classifications on the different types of land described by the native
Ashlanders, so the designations are recognized by most local traders,
travelers, and adventurers. These geographic regions are called: the
Ascadian Isles, the Ashlands, Azura's Coast, the Bitter Coast, the
Grazelands, Molag Amur, Red Mountain, the West Gash, and Sheogorad.
5.1 Ascadian Isles
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Ascadian Isles is a region of lush, green, well-watered southern
lowlands where most of Vvardenfell's agriculture is found. The area
includes Pelagiad, Suran, Vivec City, and Ald Sotha along with the inland
lakes and waterways of the Ascadian Isles proper. The urban areas of
Vivec and Ebonheart of the southern coast are densely populated; the
inland Ascadian Isles are dotted with small farms and large plantations.
The climate is temperate and comfortable, with moderate rainfall.
Ebonheart is the seat of the Imperial government for Vvardenfell district,
and a busy center of maritime trade. Castle Ebonheart is the home of Duke
Vedam Dren, the district's ruler and Emperor's representative. Also
located at Castle Ebonheart are the Vvardenfell District Council chambers
and the Hawk Moth Legion garrison. The officers, docks, and warehouses
of the East Empire Company are also found in Ebonheart.
Vivec City is the largest settlement on Vvardenfell, and one of the largest
cities in the East. Each of the great cantons is the size of a complete
town. The High Fane and the palace of Vivec are visited by hundreds of
tourists and pilgrims daily. Citizens flock to the Arena for
entertainments and war games. Outlanders mostly confine themselves to the
Foreign Canton, while natives live, work, and shop in the Great House
compounds and residential cantons.
Ald Sotha is a splendid Daedric ruin within sight of Vivec City. Though
exotic and picturesque, it is a dangerous site, haunted by old magics,
dark cultists, and their Daedric summonings, and not recommended for
sightseers.
Suran is an agricultural village in the northeastern corner of the fertile
Ascadian Isles region. Two popular pilgrimage sites are nearby -- the
Fields of Kummu and the Shrine of Molag Bal.
Pelagiad is a newly chartered Imperial village between Balmora and Vivec
City on the western edge of the Ascadian Isles region. The village is
right outside the Imperial Legion garrison at Fort Pelagiad. The houses
and shops are built in the Western Imperial style, and Pelagiad looks
more like a village in the western Empire than a Morrowind settlement.
5.2 The Ashlands
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Ashlands are the dry, inhospitable wastelands surrounding the lower
slopes of Red Mountain. The Ashlands extend to the Sea of Ghosts in the
north, and elsewhere form a wide margin between the blighted Red Mountain
region and other geographic regions. The village of Maar Gan is the only
sizable permanent Ashlands settlement; Ald'ruhn, the district seat of
House Redoran, is on the margin of the region. Ashlanders hunt for game
here, and their herds find sparse grazing. It rains rarely, and suffers
frequent ash storms.
Maar Gan is a small isolated village in a remote region north of Ald'ruhn.
The Maar Gan shrine is an important Temple pilgrimage site.
The Ashlander Urshilaku tribe has a permanent settlement at Urshilaku camp
in the Ashlands region north of Maar Gan village.
5.3 Azura's Coast
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The rugged coast and islands of northern and eastern Vvardenfell are
called Azura's Coast. The region is rocky, infertile, and largely
uninhabited, except for the outpost at Molag Mar, the Telvanni
settlements at Sadrith Mora, the wizard towers at Tel Aruhn, Tel Mora,
and Tel Branora, and Ahemmusa camp and the remote fishing villages of
Ald Redaynia and Dagon Fel on the north coast. There are no roads; most
travel is by boat. Despite the rocky terrain, a variety of plants thrive
on the regular rainfall.
Sadrith Mora is the district seat of House Telvanni, and home of the
Telvanni Council, though only one Telvanni councilor actually lives in
Sadrith Mora. Sadrith Mora is an island settlement, and accessible only
by sea and teleportation. The town is large, with many services, but it
is open only to Telvanni retainers; outsiders must confine themselves to
the Gateway Inn.
Tel Branora is the tower and seat of the eccentric Telvanni wizard named
Mistress Therana. The tower and its tiny village are located on a rocky
promontory at the southeasternmost tip of Azura's Coast.
Tel Fyr is the Telvanni tower of Sorcerer-Lord Divayth Fyr. Beneath the tower
is the Corprusarium, a refuge-prison where the deranged, distorted
victims of the deadly corprus disease are housed and tended.
Tel Aruhn is the Telvanni tower of Archmagister Gothren, Telvanni
Sorcerer-Lord and head of the Telvanni Council. The associated settlement
is a sizable village, and the site of the Festival Slave Market, the
largest slave market on Vvardenfell.
Tel Mora is the Telvanni tower of Mistress Dratha, an ancient wizard of the
Telvanni Council. The small settlement includes a few craftsfolk and a
tradehouse.
Tel Vos is the tower of Telvanni wizard and council member Master Aryon.
Tel Vos is a peculiar blend of Telvanni and Western architectural styles,
and is close to Vos village.
Bal Fell is the "City of Stone," an ancient First Era ruin in the
southeastern islands and promontories of Azura's Coast. The site has a
nasty reputation, and several Telvanni wizards currently have competing
camps of hirelings and adventurers exploring and looting there. Legend
says that Bal Fell was built on the site of an ancient Daedric worship
center.
The Ashlander Ahemmusa tribe has a permanent settlement at Ahemmusa camp on
a rocky promontory at the northeastern tip of the Vvardenfell mainland in
the Azura's Coast region.
5.4 The Bitter Coast
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The western coast of Vvardenfell from Seyda Neen north to Gnaar Mok is
called the Bitter Coast. The salt marshes and humid swamps of this region
are uninhabited, with the only settlements found at the good harbors of
Gnaar Mok, Hla Oad, and Seyda Neen. Also called the Smuggler's Coast, the
region's secluded coves and islands provide refuge for criminal trade,
and the frequent rain and fog hides small boats from Excise cutters.
Seyda Neen. The piercing light of the Grand Pharos at the mouth of the harbor
of the port village of Seyda Neen is a beacon to mariners throughout the
Inner Sea. Most visitors from the Empire make landfall at the port of
Seyda Neen, where they are processed by the Imperial Census and Excise
Commission agents of the Coastguard station. The Coastguard cutters
docked here control smuggling and piracy on the Inner Sea.
Hla Oad is a tiny isolated fishing village on western Vvardenfell in the
Bitter Coast region. A rough track along the River Odai connects Hla Oad
with the town of Balmora.
Gnaar Mok is a tiny island fishing village in the Bitter Coast region of
western Vvardenfell.
5.5 The Grazelands
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The regular rain and dark soils of the Grazelands produce the rich
grazing for Ashlander herds that give the region its name. The region
lies in the northeast of Vvardenfell, sandwiched between the Ashlands and
Azura's Coast. Permanent settlements include Vos village and the towers
of Tel Vos and Tel Fyr. The Ashlanders of Zainab camp move their herds
across the plains in search of fresh grazing. There are no roads or
tracks, but travel is easy across the open plains.
The Ashlander Zainab tribe has a permanent settlement at Zainab camp, near
the village of Vos in the Grazelands region.
5.6 Molag Amur
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Located inland in the southeast of Vvardenfell, Molag Amur is an
uninhabited wasteland of rocky hills, steep-sided ravines, lava pools,
and barren ash pavements. Pathfinding and travel is extremely difficult
in this trackless wilderness, and is complicated by frequent ash storms.
The Ashlanders of Erabenimsun camp hunt game here, but few others venture
into this region. The worst part of Molag Amur, called the Great Scathes,
is considered impassible even by the Ashlanders.
The outpost at Molag Mar is a fortified stronghold on the southeastern edge
of the desolate Molag Amur region. Pilgrims bound for the nearby
pilgrimage sites at Mount Assarnibibi and Mount Kand take refuge at the
outpost's hostels, comforted by the garrison of Redoran and Buoyant
Armiger crusaders stationed at the stronghold.
The Ashlander Erabenimsun tribe has a permanent settlement at Erabenimsun
camp, an isolated hut settlement in the middle of the desolate Molag Amur
region.
5.7 Red Mountain
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The dominant feature of Vvardenfell, Red Mountain, is a vast volcano in
the center of Vvardenfell. The outer slopes are steep and rugged, and the
crater is deep and dotted with surface lava. The Ghostfence, a magical
barrier which blocks travel as well as seals in the harmful,
disease-laden weather called 'blight,' rings the volcano's outer slopes,
and is broken only at Ghostgate. Within the Ghostfence, rain never falls
and the sun never shines; the only weather is the red and deadly
ash-blight.
Ghostgate is the gate citadel of the Ghostfence Ordinator and Buoyant
Armiger garrisons. Ghostgate sits astride the only gap through which the
monstrous hosts of Dagoth Ur might emerge from Red Mountain to threaten
the rest of Morrowind. The Ghostfence itself is a colossal magical
artifact that completely encircles Red Mountain and prevents the Blight
from spilling its corruption across the rest of Vvardenfell.
5.8 West Gash
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The western highlands of Vvardefell are called the West Gash. The region
extends from the Sea of Ghosts on the northwest coast to the inland town
of Balmora, where the region is sandwiched between the Bitter Coast and
the Ashlands. The trading village of Gnisis is north of Ald'ruhn, and the
fishing villages of Ald Veloth and Khuul lie on the north coast. The town
of Caldera lies near Balmora. The herds of the Ashlanders of Urshilaku
camp graze on the sparse but hardy highland vegetation.
Balmora is the district seat of House Hlaalu, and the largest settlement on
Vvardenfell after Vivec City. Good roads lead north to Ald'ruhn and south
to Caldera, Seyda Neen, and Vivec City. The Imperial Legion garrison of
Fort Moonmoth lies south of Balmora.
Caldera is a recently chartered Imperial town and mining corporation. The
Caldera Mining Company has been granted an Imperial monopoly to remove
raw ebony from the rich deposits here. Caldera has the appearance and
flavor of a Western Imperial town.
