Gnisis (Morrowind)

Gnisis is a mining town in the West Gash. It is under Imperial control, but feels much Redoran influence. Its residency consists almost entirely of Dunmer and Orcs, with a smattering of Imperials. As a mining town, Gnisis and its residents are heavily dependent on the Gnisis eggmine, which has become blighted. There is a temple in the middle of Gnisis, notable for Vivec's Ashmask and important to members of the Tribunal Temple on pilgrimage. Various stands surround the temple where the player can buy and sell goods. A silt strider platform which has transportation to Ald'ruhn, Khuul, and other towns, stands on the edge of the village. Additionally, on the outskirts of Gnisis is Arvs-Drelen, a Telvanni necromancer's tower, home to Baladas Demnevanni, whom players may be sent to see on various missions.

Gnisis is also the site of Fort Darius, apparently named after its commander. Darius is the only garrison commander who will allow the player to join the Imperial Legion providing suitable Imperial equipment and armour which must be worn from then on when dealing with any Legion personnel anywhere in the game otherwise they will refuse to speak to the player. Darius also provides missions ranging from rescuing kidnapped hostages to strong-arming the locals into obedience.
