CasperTheLich Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 a character or two mentioned something about red mountain exploding. a few others and a lore book mentioned that red mountain exploded and the entire province sank into the ocean. does anyone know exactly what happened or when? i can't seem to find details, anywhere.normally it wouldn't be this troublesome; however, my first character in skyrim was a darkelf (err... dunmer) . i need to know the details so i can rework her background, and adjust her personality accordingly. (i'm a big RPer, i give every character i make a back-story & personality)can anyone give me a few answers? it'd be appreciated. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoovesDerpy Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 The Red Mountain exploded 4E ?? — Red Mountain erupts; Vvardenfell is destroyed. In Vivec's absence, the Ministry of Truth becomes unstable. Vuhon creates an Ingenium that uses at first dozens of dying souls, then a small number of living ones to stabilize the rock. The soul of Sul's wife Ilzheven was among them. In a fight to free her, the Ingenium is destroyed and the rock crashes into Vivec with all the energy it originally had. The impact causes Red Mountain to erupt and destroys the entire island of Vvardenfell, as well as causing massive destruction to the rest of the province.

CasperTheLich Posted December 4, 2011 Author Share Posted December 4, 2011 So the entire continent was destroyed, or is some of it is still left? other than 4e we don’t know what year, right? This doesn’t help me much. But thanks for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoovesDerpy Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 No, only the island of Vvardenfell, which is where you play in Morrowind. There is outer lying areas that aren't a part of Vvardenfell in the province of Morrowind. Vvardenfell is gone, all of it. Morrowind as a province is also severely battered and destroyed. There is no known year, however it seems to be before 4E 18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El`derina Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 theres alittle more to it than just that,... theres two books out covering the aftermath of those events. But they don't take place in morrowind, morrowinds just the origin of the events.and theres some lore floating around as to an argonian invasion... although im not sure when exactly these things happened. theres a bit more info than what can be passed around in a post,... hopefully someone here has some links.

CasperTheLich Posted December 4, 2011 Author Share Posted December 4, 2011 (edited) so i need to totally remake my character's background. it worked very well before this too. *sigh* ----edit I can’t decide how plausible this is so I’d like some input on my character’s new background. Katriin (plz don’t steal her name) is 60 years of age (I figure that’s less than middle-aged for a dunmer, right?)Her parents were high ranked retainers for the house redoran, they were forced into exile and moved to the imperial city after the oblivion crisis (for unknown reasons, family secrets) and at her mid-teens to early 20s she was a freelance mercenary, by 30 she was a hardened veteran merc, specialty: hunting and killing rogue necromancers. During the thalmor war/s the legion hired her for her expertise in killing wizards. during a battle with altmer wizards in the imperial city she was thrown from a second story battlement and nearly killed. She spent a year in and out of a coma. And another decade recuperating.At which time her skills had completely left her and she decided to retire. Ten more years passed, and she grew restless with a simple life, and took to drinking knowing she no longer had the skills to return to a life of adventure. During one of these binges someone in a jocular fashion suggested that she should head up to skyrim, “if living there didn’t kill her, it would bring her old self back in no time.”Oddly enough at the time it seemed like a good idea to her, and after the ale wore off she was to stubborn to realize it was a bad idea. And now she’s where she is. What’d you guys think? Need any work? (I always have to find ways to explain why my character started at lvl 1. Lol) Edited December 4, 2011 by Invisible Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JechtStrife109 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 the Oblivion crisis was two hundred years ago so for my character I introduced a type of curse from mehrunes dagon that will continue to weaken my character but keep him alive until he can find a cure which just so happens to be dragons blood :) (this for me explains why he starts off level 1 again lol)also he didn't play a massive part in the oblivion crisis so if you want to add something like that in your story feel free.I quite like the idea of back stories for characters and yours is pretty goodbtw my guy is an imperial called Marcus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazakovich Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Another of Morrowind's recent dirges is also the Argonian invasion. Basically, after the Red Mountain erupted, Black Marsh decided that it was time for payback and invaded southern Morrowind. That poor place have seen better days...
