Great Houses

Recommended Posts

Found this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_Dagoth seems a good summary, also they were all ( including House Dwemer) known as the Chimer.

 

They became the Dunmer after they broke their oath (on wich Nerevar insisted) to Azura when Vivec , Amalexia and Sotha Sil used the tools to become "living gods".

 

Azura decided that their shame should show on their faces or somesuch, and they became the Dunmer.

 

Notice that Vivec is only half "dun" does that mean he feels partially responsible? And Amalexia's little slap-me-please face is all golden...

The common interpretation is that it represents his dual nature.

After reading that bit on the House Dagoth on Wikipedia, I searched some of the links that they offered. One of them, 'Morrowind', gave a lot of information about the game, but when I went down to the part about Politics, it says this:

 

The Five Great Houses of Morrowind, Indoril, Telvanni, Redoran, Hlaalu, and Dres (as well as the destroyed House Dagoth), and the Tribunal Temple, are the major political organizations of Morrowind.

 

Just wondering if they got the wrong information, or what.

No, that would be right. There used to be seven Great Houses but since Dwemer and Dagoth are gone, currently there are just those five. The Tribunal Temple is a big player too. Not sure the bit about House Dagoth is right, at least not by the end of TES III.

I went on Wikipedia at school and was reading up on the houses (ha ha! The school cant block wikipedia- I have beat WebSense!) and I think it was saying something about the house Dren being absorbed into the Tribunal Temple or something like that. Anyways, I had never paid much attention to the whole Great House thing before and I find it absolutly fascinating.

No, that never happened. House Dres was never absorbed into the Temple. Their views are actually incompatible with the Temple's.

 

Wikipedia is not a credible source -- not even for something as trivial as video games. I would suggest that Adras cede to the wisom of his elders and stop looking at Wikipedia as being anything other than a site where trolls exchange talking points.

*Bows* I shall do so and start using the Imperial Library, o wise one.

 

Anyways, like I said, I wasnt too sure about it, but it provides good reading material during school. I will have to test to see if the Imperial Library is ok with Websense, and if it is, then I will be happy.

I went to the link that was up for wikpedia and it actually had the imperial library as a referance, and also linked a few of its articles to imperial library......Not saying wikpedia is credible just saying you would think if they arent then the sources they use are just as uncredible....you would think.
