Story & names
A prisoner of the Empire is released from custody and sent by ship to the island district of Vvardenfell in the province of Morrowind. Bearing instructions from the Emperor himself, the newcomer is directed to make contact with a secretive order called the Blades, who believe the prisoner may fulfill an ancient Dunmer prophecy: the return of Nerevar, a legendary warrior whose reincarnation is foretold to unite the warring factions of Morrowind and confront a growing supernatural threat emanating from the volcanic Red Mountain at the island's center.
