About this image

The Inner Sea is a body of water that separates the mainland of the Imperial province of Morrowind from the large island of Vvardenfell. It stretches from the Bitter Coast and Ascadian Isles regions in western Vvardenfell all the way to Azura's Coast in the east. It meets the Sea of Ghosts twice: the two meld together near Azura's Coast, and again near the large and icy island of Solstheim northwest of Vvardenfell.

The Inner Sea was created after the giant volcano Red Mountain erupted and some of the landmass of Vvardenfell sank lower than sea level. The resulting crater was filled by the icy waters of the Sea of Ghosts, cooling the lava over time. Some reports place this event after the War of the First Council in 1E 668, referred to in the tales of numerous races—to the Nords it was The Year of Winter in Summer, to the Khajiit, Sun's Death. However, there are conflicting reports stating that there might have been earlier eruptions creating this change in landscape.

      Thanks Blackmaid. Morrowind the game TESIII takes place on the Island of Vvardenfell and the DLC Tribunal does take place on the mainland of Morrowind which surrounds the the island. Unfortunately you only get to see the one city Mournhold where the female goddess Almalexia lives and rules. She is one of the three Tribunal immortals who is slowly going insane because she is loosing her power. The rest of the mainland was featured an earlier TES title which I have never played... yet

      hehehe I am kinda crafty aren't I XDDDDD
      You are cool and I am crafty, we make a good team eh?

      Tamriel Rebuilt is all based after TES Lore. The original modder who started it I am sure work on Morrowinf itself since the mod was started before Morrowind was in stores. They are so far south that soon they will be in Black Marsh.
