Ambush at Red Mountain

Prelude
It has been hundreds of years since the fateful Battle of Red Mountain, where the Dwemer were driven to extinction and the Chimer were turned into Dunmer. The Tribunal Temple composed of Vivec, Almalexia, and Sotha Sil has ruled over Morrowind peacefully and has become the new religion of Morrowind. The Tribunal Gods, Vivec, Almalexia, and Sotha Sil, make a pilgrimage to Red Mountain every 20 years to bathe in the Heart of Lorkhan's power.

Battle
The Tribunal, Ordinators, and Buoyant Armigers arrived at the Red Mountain Temple and were preparing the ritual when two of the gate guards screamed. They were pierced with arrows. The remaining ordinators outside of the temple were massacred by the ash vampires and daedra. They fought desperately but they were overwhelmed by the horde. The Buoyant Armigers and the surviving Ordinators retreated into the Temple. Several Ordinators rushed into the Temple to inform the Tribunal of the ambush, but the Temple went miles and miles into the ground.

While the Ordinator squad went to locate the Tribunal, the Buoyant Armigers bravely resisted the horde of ash vampires and daedra. Even though the northern tower fell within 20 minutes. The southern tower fell rapidly after that. All of the remaining Armigers were now defending the gatehouse or defending the walls of the Temple's inner compound. Ash Vampires overran the gatehouse not long after.

Fortunately the Ordinators had found the Tribunal and even then the Tribunal and the squad of Ordinators were rushing to the walls of the temple's inner compound. With the Tribunal they were able to fight their way out but at a great cost. For the Heart of Lorkhan and hundreds of the holy warriors were dead, dying, or captured by then. The Tribunal and their forces fell back to the Ghostgate.

Aftermath
After the ambush the surviving warriors were left at the Ghostgate to help fortify it. The Tribunal, worrying over the Heart of Lorkhan, went to Vivec City, to raise more armies to assault Red Mountain.
