The town itself surrounds a Telvanni tower that shares the same name . The town is built around the Tel Aruhn Tower , and several smaller towers were created next to Tel Aruhn . Down the hill from the village are the local docks , where the entrance to Tel Aruhn is located . History . Merethic Era . Tel Aruhn , along with multiple other settlements such as Tel Mora and Ald Redaynia , were founded by Aldmer i explorers from the Summerset Isles during their expedition to Vvardenfell . Their plan was to chart the region from Azura ' s Coast to the Isles of Sheogorad . Later in the same era , the Prophet Veloth traveled across Tamriel to the area now known as Morrowind . Tel Aruhn along with various other settlements such as Narsis and Vos was populated by the Velothi people . First Era . In 1E 2920 , the Four Score War ravaged the Morrowind - Cyrodiil countryside and ended with an agreement in the fortress city of Ald Marak . Juilek Cyrodiil and Lord Vivec agreed to give the Second Empire several settlements across the Eastern Morrowind coast and border cities as well . These locations included Tel Aruhn , Ald Lambasi , and Tel Mothrivra among other places . In return , no attacks from the Empire would come upon Morrowind , under no circumstances . This did not last long since Juilek would later be assassinated and his father , Reman Cyrodiil III , would also be murdered by the Morag Tong . Second Era . During the Interregnum in 2E 583 , the town of Tel Aruhn was ruled by Archmagister Gothren , the leader of House Telvanni in Vvardenfell . Around the same time , an Argonian slave named Sun - in - Shadow was freed and proceeded into the ranks of House Telvanni with the help of an Outlander called the Vestige . She requested an audience with Gothren himself , so she and the Vestige traveled to Tel Aruhn to speak with him . Gothren greatly opposed the idea of having an Argonian in House Telvanni , so he forcefully makes her slave again . Through serious consideration , Gothren accepted her into House Telvanni , and she became a member of House Telvanni . Third Era . In 3E 427 , the town of Tel Aruhn continued to be ruled by Gothren and House Telvanni . During the same year , the Nerevarine Prophecy came to fruition , and the Nerevarine roamed the region to unite the people of Morrowind to fight against the Tribunal . The Nerevarine needed to convince the high - ranked members of House Telvanni to make them the Telvanni Hortator . Gothren was not persuaded that the Nerevarine was , in fact , the Nerevarine and was unwilling to be convinced otherwise . The Nerevarine was forced to assassinate Gothren , to ensure their position of Hortator . It was a grave cause need to end a bigger problem . Fourth Era . In 4E 5 , Red Mountain , which is located in the center of Vvardenfell , had erupted after years of remaining dormant throughout Dunmeri history . The resulting explosion caused the destruction of virtually all of Vvardenfell ' s settlements such as Sadrith Mora , Tel Aruhn , and Gnisis . Very little life remained in the now endless sea of ash formerly known as Vvardenfell . A House Redoran Councilman from Mournhold issued a relief effort to rebuild the cities of Vvardenfell from the ground up . As of 4E 201 , it is unknown whether the effort reached Tel Aruhn and the town was rebuilt .
