First years of Fourth Era . After the events of Morrowind and during the disappearance of the Nerevarine , the House Redoran capital on Vvardenfell , Ald ' ruhn , was destroyed when a large Daedric force attacked the city . The council members were forced to resurrect the dread emperor crab Ald ' skar whose shell they had made their home in . Even with its resurrection , this was apparently not enough to face the daedric power and the city was destroyed while the Daedra prepared to assault the Ghostgate itself . During the Oblivion Crisis , it fell to House Redoran to organize the Dunmer into an effective fighting force against the Daedra . While it was Martin Septim who ended the Crisis , the Dunmer had a somewhat effective army when the Argonians invaded . While the southern half of Morrowind was ravaged , House Redoran led the Dunmer in the defense of the northern half and was able to hold the invaders . This gained the Redoran much respect from their people , and from then onward they became the most powerful and respected Great House in Morrowind . The capital was moved from Mournhold to Blacklight , where the Great Houses now hold council .
