Welcome to my self made island archipelago based on the game: ''The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind''
made by ''Bethesda Game Studios/Softworks'', in 2002 released.

The archipelago
The archipelago contains the following islands based on regions from Vvardenfell, Morrowind district.
- Hlaalu : Ascadian Isles.
- Redoran : Ascadian Isles & Grazelands.
- Telvanni : Zafirbel Bay.
- Ashlanders : The Aohlands & Molag Amur.
- Canton : Vivec & Molag Mar

General lore:
The archipelago was founded after a surviving ship, of an encounter with Therana from Tel Branora, stumbled upon the four islands. On the way back they found out that the archipelago lies to the east of Azura's Coast. More precisely to the east of the shrine of Azura.

After a council meeting House Hlaalu set out on colonization of the archipelago. The spies of house Redoran caught some of it and followed them in secret. It got worser for house Hlaalu, some high ranked member told about the expedition at ''Helena's house of earthly delights'', Trough their it reached also the Telvanni and the Ahemmusa clan who was driven away from their land by the strong grown Zainab clan.

In the end it turned out to be war. Before it escalated the duke Vedam Dren put up a binding counsel were it was decided which house got their island.
Since the Ahemmusa where in the weakest spot they got the already burned down island.
The canton wasn't included in the archipelago but Vivec and the temple wanted to have influence in the region. So they made a new canton. While bringing it in place, it encountered a storm. The current workers and residents prayed for saint Nerevar, the storm went down.

Additional Notes

Resource pack:
Conquest 32x32

Old posts:
This archipelago was the original intention when I started the Morrowind series of mine.
Everything was build into one world. Back than I was xp hungry and made for each island one post. I restore it now to one post and don't care for the 25 diamonds, 2771 views and 403 downloads over the course of 10 times front of site, none pop-reel.

Other:
The general lore is pure fictional self made and not waved into the game itself. Some name's and places do exist in the game.
The islands are self designed although the canton is heavenly inspired on Vivec and Molag Amur.

Constructive feedback is always welcome. questions about Morrowind? Ask away I have played the game way to much.

Personally I appreciate more a thoughtfull comment than a diamond.
So leave a comment if you like, or not and say why =)

The main thing was the deadric ruin. But besides that I started using the conquest+3d model add-on for it on the renders and pictures. That may let things look better than before.

And before you get to much hope. It will take some time before I go further with this project. I currently lack the motivation for this project. Not to mention I am currently busy with an other, redstone, project I like to finish first if not something else comes by.

I know exactly what you mean about motivation, so much you want to build and so little drive to make them. Then you want to build something new all together.  That wide shot with all the islands is just beautiful.

I am not official involved, but more watching from the sidelines. However I am sure you can fill out an application out to be a builder or something. Or do what I do support them with the forum signature banner and give your opinion in the comments as encouregement. Nose along including the site of them and decide for yourself how to support them.

On a side note I was wondering if you would ever do schematics for the Redoran buildings and if you would be cool with them being used on a server. I really like your build style and I really enjoy morrowind buildings.

The schematics can be distilled from the world save by yourself.

As long as the server don´t claim those buildings by themself, prefered giving credit, I don´t mind. I see it as a compliment.

I would love to see the Skyrim Telvanni tower of yours. The Telvanni island was the latest island of mine and yes you could say I improved over time. So thanks for the compliment.
