For this city in other games, see Mournhold.

The city of Mournhold, sometimes called the City of Gems, at the time the Nerevarine visits it, is home to King Helseth Hlaalu, the ruler of Morrowind, and the Goddess Almalexia, a member of the Tribunal, as well as birthplace of Barenziah. It's referred to as "The city of light and magic" by the local people.

History

Mournhold, during the time of Resdayn, was home to a young Vivec.

On the 12th of Sun's Dusk, 1E 2920, Mournhold was destroyed by Mehrunes Dagon. Almalexia, Sotha Sil and Vivec were too late to stop the Daedric Prince but managed to banish him back to Oblivion. The ruins of the city then became known as Old Mournhold, while the city was built anew on top of it.[1]

Mournhold is a temple-city within the capital city of Almalexia, the largest and oldest city in Morrowind, named for its patron goddess. Almalexia is truly an ancient city, possibly predating the Dunmer. It is reputed to be built over the ruins of a vast Dwarven city, although the current inhabitants vigorously deny this.

This is also the seat of government for the Dark Elves, where the priests of the Tribunal rule in the name of their legendary deities. Mournhold was not destroyed like some of the other cities in Morrowind after the Oblivion Crisis. Mournhold is the setting of the Tribunal questline during the Tribunal expansion pack.

In The Elder Scrolls V: Dragonborn DLC, it is stated that Mournhold was sacked by Argonians some time in the 4th Era, during the Argonian Invasion, but is in the process of rebuilding. The province's capital then switched to Blacklight.[2]

Districts

Mournhold is split into five distinct districts: Godsreach, Great Bazaar, Plaza Brindisi Dorom, Royal Palace, and The Temple Courtyard.

Godsreach

Godsreach is on the far west side of Mournhold and is the upscale residential area of Mournhold. Located here are manors, The Craftsmen's Hall, a tavern, and the Mournhold Museum of Artifacts. One of several entrances to the Mournhold Sewers is located in Godsreach. It is connected to the Temple Courtyard and Plaza Brindisi Dorom.

The Great Bazaar

The Great Bazaar is the merchant quarter of Mournhold. There is an outdoor theater located on the west side of this quarter. The east side has two rows of shops. The north row has a magic shop, armorer, and bookseller. The south row has a clothier, pawnbroker, and trader. At the very south corner of the Great Bazaar is the entrance to the Bazaar Sewers. The Great Bazaar is connected to the Temple Courtyard (Northeast Gate) and Plaza Brindisi Dorom (Southeast Gate).

The Plaza Brindisi Dorom

The Plaza Brindisi Dorom occupies the southernmost area of Mournhold. It is an arboretum dominated by a great statue at its center. It is connected to Godsreach, the Great Bazaar, Royal Palace, and Bamz-Amschend.

The Royal Palace

The Royal Palace is the living quarters for the royal family and the business center for the affairs of Mournhold and the rest of Morrowind. The palace is in the center of the city and is accessible from the Temple Courtyard, Plaza Brindisi Dorom, and the Palace Sewers.

Temple Courtyard

The Temple Courtyard is a enclosed area dominated by Almalexia's High Temple. It is connected to Godsreach, Royal Palace, and the Great Bazaar.
