Lore:Mercedene

General  , also known as the Beast of the Reach, was a notorious   warrior and leader of the   clan during the mid- . Said to be a vicious woman who reveled in blood and death, she is best known for her part in the infamous  .    

Prior to leading the Winterborn, she served under her mother   who was the previous leader of the clan. According to legend, Evandene led a raid on an   village and decimated the populace. Not satisfied with her mother's punishment of the Orcs, Mercedene grew livid when she arrived with reinforcements. According to her "Harvesting a tenth of the weeds yields a hardier strain of weed. Best to burn the field so its soil can take another crop." In response, Mercedene immediately challenged her mother, killed her, cut out her heart, and ate it. Said to be devout in her worship of  , more so than the Orcs themselves, Mercedene then decorated an altar to Malacath with Evandene's corpse. 

Mercedene proved to be an able commander after she took over leadership of the Winterborn. The reputation of the Winterborn gained the attention of King   of  , who hired Mercedene and her clan for his own ends.  During the Siege of  , King Joile appointed Mercedene as his general against the Orcish forces, but also as an instrument to enact his grand deception. Although King Joile was allied with the  s, he sought to total conquest of his neighboring kingdoms. To achieve this he sought to eliminate the two greatest heroes of both Orsinium and Hammerfall:   and  . With their deaths, both kingdoms would be weakened allowing him an easier conquest of the entire region.  

First, Mercedene kidnapped the brother of Baloth Bloodtusk and faked his death in order to draw Baloth into the war.   Her deception was successful as Baloth forces arrived shortly after into Orsinium and reinforced the city. Next, King Joile implored Gaiden Shinji to face Baloth in a duel to decide the fate of the city and save the lives of his soldiers. Gaiden agreed to the duel and also marched his forces to Orsinium.  Mercedene's trap was set. She made her way into Orsinium and met with a contingent of disguised Winterborn soldiers who arrived behind the siege lines.  Once the duel Baloth Bloodtusk and Gaiden Shinji began, Mercedene ordered her archers to cut them both down. Her plan was successful and both heroes were slain. 

Before Mercedene could escape the city, Commander   of the   confronted her after uncovering evidence of Mercedene's betrayal. Both commanders fought, but Mercedene was ultimately killed.  It is unknown what happened to her corpse, but Mercedene's spirit was cursed to wander the ruins of Orsinium for centuries after.

They were prominently active throughout the Imperial Simulacrum in city-states such as Camlorn and Silvenar, or smaller settlements such as Ein Meirvale and Stoneforest.  In that time, the brotherhood held vast power over the city-state of Gideon, on the western corner of Black Marsh.

Lore:Telvanni Peninsula

The Telvanni Peninsula (or Telvanni Coast)  comprises the eastern arm of mainland Morrowind, and is bracketed by the Inner Sea to the west and the Padomaic Ocean to the north and east.  The region is characterized with rocky coasts and islands, as well as a couple of small settlements.  The cities of Firewatch and Necrom are found on the coastlines of the peninsula. House Telvanni also has holdings on the northern half consisting of Firewatch, Velothis Haven,   ,  , and  ,  and staking claim over the east coast of Vvardenfell facing the Peninsula,  hence they are the namesake of the region. House Telvanni cares little for what lies outside of their sanctuary on the coast.   The Ruby Shroom Shalks are popular house pets here. 

Necrom,  , and  's Great House affiliations are unknown, though each lies within the borders of Indoril District.  The Dwemer ruin of   is found along the sheer coastal cliff, with easy access to it from boats and nearby mainland villages such as  .  

The Telvanni Peninsula borders many other regions of Morrowind, notably sharing the Inner Sea waters of Zafirbel Bay with Vvardenfell, separated by the Vvardenfell Rift.  In the Padomaic Ocean, the isles surrounding Port Telvannis   are found across the Sea of Ghosts to the northeast while the isle of Gorne is found not too far from the coast of Necrom. On the mainland, the peninsula meets with Bal Foyen and Deshaan to the south, being visible from Stonefalls. 
 

Notes
A concept map of Morrowind suggested that Necrom and Sailen Vulgate's House affiliation may be House Dres, Draloris (at the approximate site of Dragon Glade) was affiliated with House Indoril.

Emperor's Notice

[Here are written priority matters concerning the province of Morrowind in the case of Emperor Uriel Septim VII's arrival.]
Fragment AA-IK-0-4

Original Location: Section 0, ground level

Description: Shaped like a pincer, with two claws linked to a spherical base. It may have sat on top of a wall or a pillar in the past. Carvings are arranged in a thin strip along the top of the claws. These carvings have been badly eroded by weather.

Analysis : This piece doesn't have any power by itself, but resonates when brought near other fragments of the site, particularly Fragment AA-IK-1-6.
Fragment AA-IK-1-17

Original Location : Section 1, behind Structure AA-IK-1-2

Description: This is a block of stone that could have belonged to a wall or possibly the ceiling before coming to rest behind the ruined Structure AA-IK-1-2. The carvings on it are better preserved than most pieces from AA-IK, but are still illegible.

Analysis: This piece exudes a faint power that increases exponentially when brought near Fragment AA-IK-1-6.
Fragment AA-IK-1-6

Original Location: Section 1, near Structure AA-IK-1-2

Description : Shaped like a claw of a nix-hound. Other "claws" are still attached to the ruined Structure AA-IK-1-2. Any carvings on the piece have been eroded by time.

Analysis: This piece emanates with a strong power, which has been observed to make other fragments of the ruin resonate.

Felmo Ilveroth's Plea

To the most esteemed Vedam Dren, Duke of Vvardenfell

Your Grace,

I am but a humble servant of the Nine Divines, serving in the Grand Chapel of Talos in my seventh year.

In these trying years, I have witnessed the last stages of the construction of Castle Ebonheart and the slowly creeping disinterest in the old city.

Many quiet traditions have been cast aside to allow for quiet introspection while one misery after another spilled from Vvardenfell to the mainland.

As of 3E426, the murder of several outspoken supporters of the Empire and the tax revolt in Balmora have seen another moratorium on one of the oldest traditions of Old Ebonheart, the annual mystery play.

First established by the Nibenese settlers of smolding Ebonheart Hold, it was created to serve as powerful liturgy, asking the Divines for a bit of protection, just a bit more joy, and a powerful statement to those who wish the city ill.

In our current trying days, I believe that it is the duty of the Cult to offer the citizenry a joyful day. As the divide between the poor and rich have grown greater and the poor are often abandoning Ebonheart to smuggle illicit goods to and from Vvardenfell, it would serve to give them a bit of hope and belief in the rule of the law.

As such, I humbly beseech you to allow us the play this year, to ease the public's mind and reassure them in the Divines' and the Empire's protection.

With best regards, your dutiful servant,

Felmo Ilveroth  
Ordained Priest of Zenithar 
Disciple of the Imperial Cult
First of withered fragments

The warrior-poet appeared as a visitation in the ancestor alcove of House Mora, whose rose-worn prince of garlands was a hero against the northern demons. Vivec congregated with the bones. He said: 
'A scavenger cannot acquire a silk sash and expect to discover the greater systems of its predecessor: perfect happiness is embraced only by the weeping. Give me back (and do so freely) what is barren of my marriage and I will not erase you from the thought realm of God. Your line has a notable enchantress that my sister Ayem is fond of and from her murky wisdom alone do I condescend to ask.'

Cyrtus Clagno's Note (Old Ebonheart 2)

A tower of brass on top of a volcano. 
I've been there in my dreams, holding the knife. Spirits beckoning me closer.

One day I will travel there when awake.
Dead Thief's Note

I did it.  The plan worked out perfectly.  I, Veril Sarvela, am the first to ever steal from the forges of Anudnabia.  Rolamus Hilbongard slept while I crept down into his forge and stole one of his prize works.  No doubt my name will be immortalized by this crime.  No longer will people remain ignorant of the noble family of Sarvela.


I have hid in this cavern for a few days now.  There is a daedric temple nearby.  Word has spread from Vvardenfell of my crime.  I am being hunted by priests and warriors alike.  What good is 22,000 gold if I'm dead?  I will remain in hiding for the next few days.

This cave is infested with beetles and shalk.  One of them has bit me.  The sting is unbearable.  I wish I had brought that bottle of cure common disease.


My entire leg is infected.  I only have to hold out for a few more days.  Then I'll make my escape.  May Azura have mercy on me.

Ranosa Orrels' notes

- The bloodline they belong to: which are their powers? do weaknesses vary within clans and if so which are they?

- Resistance to basic, unenchanted weapons exhibited by all known species: how? limitations?

- This is not typical of the undead: are vampires truly undead?

- Possible cause of resistances from Daedric origin: are they fully materialized in Mundus, or still linked to Coldharbour? how are their relations with creatures from Daedric planes?

- Enquire on feeding habits, e.g. thirst for blood: is it ever sated? are powers affected when starving?

- Assuming sunlight-induced candescence is confirmed: any effective protections, and to what extent?

Moldy Note

My dearest Elysera

I can no longer wait for your father's approval.  I've come to understand that he will never give away your hand in marriage, especially to a simple farmer.  If Ayem willed it, I would give you all of Morrowind in a silver box, inscribed with the words, "My Eternal Love."  I have found a priest that will marry us at the Shrine of Aymasindo.  Meet me there tonight.  I'm sure your father, Lord Salas Indoril will not deny us our love once we are wed.  Though I cannot give you the luxuries of your manor, my beloved, I will give you all that is in me to give.  Your home in Almalexia may be rich in fineries, but my small farmhouse is rich in love.  I will be waiting for you at Aymasindo.  Before the shrine of Ayem we will start our life together.

Eternally Yours,

Online:Crafting Motif 76: Dragonguard Axes

This one notes that she received permission to look for equipment before she dragged out all the Dragonguard gear on Tideholm. In no way did she gain these items through ill-advised means. Then Sidura spent some time updating and repairing them, with the help of some skilled volunteers. They turned out nicely, yes? Old Dragonguard mixed with new! Dashing and functional!

AXES

Sidura is not one for axes, but if she had to choose? She'd pick the Dragonguard axes. Well-balanced, with ornamental touches picking up on the Dragonguard symbol. Two blades on the two-handed one, and one blade with a sharp poll on the one-handed axe. Poke out a Dragon's eye with that poll!
