"Mournhold, City of Light--City of Magic."
High Ordinator[src]

Mournhold, also known as the City of Gems, is a city found in The Elder Scrolls III: Tribunal.

Description

At the time the Nerevarine visits it, the city 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 is 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 separated by large walls into five distinct districts:
