Almalexia (City)



Almalexia is the largest and oldest city in Morrowind, named for its patron goddess. Almalexia is truly an ancient city, possibly predating the Dunmers. It is reputed to be built over the ruins of a vast Dwarven city, although the current inhabitants vigorously deny this. Here the intrepid traveler would find the center of the Tribunal cult, in the sprawling palace/temple of Mournhold, a city within the city. This is also the seat of government of the Dark Elves, where the priests of the Tribunal rule in the name of their legendary deities. Mournhold is one of the biggest cities in Tamriel behind Strosi Mkai, Imperial City, Whiterun and Alinor. Mournhold was not destroyed like some of the other cities in Morrowind after the Oblivion crisis.
