What? Only 5 houses? Is this how you honor the 6th house and the tribe unmourned? Oh what a grand and intoxicating innocence you have Drew!
There's nothing more i love than some early morning Elder Scrolls Lore
House dres: *gets weakened and their territories become swamplike*
Argonia: *its free real state*
i like state for this instead of estate cause blackmarsh is more like alabama
I never liked House Telvani, but Divyath Fyr remembered being a Chimer. Mad respect.
@Logos Indoril House Telvani is the best for me. The only thing I don't like are the slaves.
In my opinion Morrowind has one of the best lores in all of video games, thank you fudgemuppet!
When it comes to game play, very little of the lore really matters or is even mentioned. My rule of thumb in joining a house, and I've joined all three at one time or other, is that the Redoran are dull and their quests not very satisfying; the Hlaalu are too laid back but very generous, and the Telvanni are laissez-faire to the point of do unto others as they would do unto you--and get away with it, no less. One Telvanni leader has a slave rebellion in her mine, so she tells you to go in and kill them all. Instead I find the slave key and give it to the leader of the rebellion, then I go back and report that they all escaped. Oh... Okay.
@@johnbockman6078 You mean the gameplay that is based around the written lore? Are you dense or just don't like to read?
@@johnbockman6078 The lore is definitely well reflected in the game. You can see it in the buildings, the fashion, the environment, etc, and you can delve further into it by talking to specific characters. Do you really expect every single person to constantly reference esoteric history or mention random details of myths? People don't do that in real life and Morrowind doesn't need to either.
I love the Dunmer. They retain classic Dark Elf traits: Assassination, magic, slavery, internal fighting, etc.
But they are not really evil. Just grim, from living in a harsh world. And the Dunmer political system is truly unique. Great Houses dividing Morrowind between them, functioning collectively as a republic. With the Tribunal state religion to unite them. Elegant, subtle, beautiful.
Great House Telvanni forever!
Morrowind isn’t a republic.
Back when the Empire was in control they were a monarchy under the puppet king Helseth, now they’re an oligarchy under the Great Council.
Dunmer culture remains the most amazingly indepth piece of Fantasy lore for a people outside of Tolkien's works.
You guys do them justice too, all I ask is you place all of your Dunmer videos into their own playlist so I can listen toit all on repeat quite happily. :D
You should read the Drizzt Saga in the forgotten realms multiverse. Tgat is the vest Dark Elf lore ever and from the perspective of the only sane one in my opinion. It's absolutely amazing. This is still really good, but if you like to read, you wint ve disappointed with Drizzt. Homeland is the first book
Its sad that you couldn't join house Indorill, I mean you are the avatar of their old leader
It is even sadder that you can't join house Dres and teach the farming tools their place
Would have been rad if you could present yourself to House Indoril post-main quest, starting a civil war between traditionalists and reformers.

Lots of pathfinding bugs to work out still. See also: 4:22 , 6:29 , 16:28 , 16:45 , & 21:23 . ... unless they were all just levitating. In that case, you just saw an ancestor ghost.
i'm glad i wasn't the only one, damn they ain't defying death they're defying the laws of nirn willy nilly, no wonder red mountain erupted, it was nirn nerfing the dunmer
Skyrim was my first Elder Scrolls game, so when I was picking a race I had no idea what the Dark Elves' values were. I just picked them because it sounded cool. Turns out my fiery silver tongued warrior assassin fit right in with the culture. The Dunmer are my people.
Where my Redoran N'wah's at?
Party at Skar later, bring your own Flinn
Bah, you Redoran s'wits know Telpartyhouse is where all the best Dunmer maidens hang out, too bad you can't use levitation magic. TELVANNI FOREVER

Yeah, I'll bring some bottles of shein and mea-I mean, Mazte...
literally just come back to Morrowind after 15 years. am setting up with various mods and this video was perfectly timed to help get me in the mood to play this classic!
Me too! Coming back after 20 Years and just beeing overwhelmed by the love and dedication of the mdding community and the lore (which i finally can comprehend)
I can no longer sleep without elder scrolls lore its my lullaby
Morrowind the greatest province in the elder scrolls games that's the first elder scrolls game I played and fell in love with it seemed like it was made at a time before Bethesda got lazy
I agree, but instead of getting lazy, I think they heavily drew on whatever was popular at the time. Skyrim is obviously heavily influenced by early seasons of Game of Thrones. Oblivion clearly draws upon the Lord of the Rings trilogy. But LotR was the real milestone for high fantasy in the mainstream. Thus for Morrowind, influences that existed were animated kid's movies like Fern Gully, Thumbelina, old 1970s fantasy animation, Princess Mononoke/Slayers, or even DnD concept art for the time. You can clearly see all of those influences in Morrowind... but since most of that was foreign to the public at large, Morrowind comes off VERY uniquely designed in a way Oblivion or Skyrim don't (because we're used to seeing things like GoT or The Hobbit). Dunmer are obviously a unique take on the Drow, for example... but who back then would even know what a drow is?
@@Over_It Uhh Skyrim was out before Game of thrones dude Skyrim influence is clearly Tolkien influence down to the orcs wearing the same armor inspiration is the desire to participate in the media of your favorite work what Bethesda did with Skyrim was Emulation we're your just ripping off someone else's success ESV even got rid of the old lore of Dragons to contemplate the new one
@@Over_It Well, Morrowind came out in 2003, I'd been playing Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 full of Drow and Hordes of the Underdark, a dlc for NWN came out about that time too. Drizzt was popular in literature. Anyone who had been playing D&D even a little knew about Drow for at least a decade already. And everyone in fantasy drew from LotR since the 1950's. What made Morrowind stand out was its mythology and writing that drew on sources going back to the earliest stories of man, all the world creation stuff, aedra and daedra are adaptations of the world's mythologies. And they owe a heavy debt to Gregg Stafford and Runequest, Empire of the Petal Throne and other popular RPGs of the 70's and 80s that informed the writers of Morrowind from their childhoods. When I started playing Morrowind I realised Tamriel had gone from the quasi D&D of Daggerfall to full blown alien world. It never got back to those heights sadly.
I'd argue that Skyrim was the last time Bethesda put honest to god effort into a game. Thing is, it was such a success, that they've never have to put any effort into anything else. Just re-release it and it'll sell.
house redoran are my favorite,i love how they managed to repell the argonian invasion during accession war and daedric invasion during oblivion crisis
It was so sad to find out hlallu was no longer a great house. It was my favourite in morrowind
@@SisyphusMMA What an ignorant comment. You know Hlaalu supported the empire? That’s why they’re no longer a great house lol.
@I’M BAIT sounds like coping, empire doesn't need hlaalu support, hlaalu needs empire support
Poor Dagoth. It’s all the fault of the damn Tribunal that he lost his mind.
You dweebs are just blinded by his cool silly mask. He was a peice of shite.
@DesertBandit Vivec and Almalexia were pieces of shite too. Sotha Sil should have been the only Tribunal.
@DesertBandit that's just a theory and that theory mainly implicates Vivec but the other theory heavily implicates Dagoth.
Before I realized that the game footage was modded I was tripping balls because I didn't remember Morrowind looking that good.
You can really make Vvardenfell look great, but the upper limit of mod use is 256. If your PC isn't up to it, they can really drag down your game performance. Without the time mod, the forever charged mod, and Laurana's game enhancement mods, I'd be playing vanilla Morrowind. For one thing, my game starts a lot faster.
I love that the Dragonborn can join House Telvanni in the dragonborn DLC. (Nothing changes in game, it’s just one sentence said my neloth)
The Telvanni remind a little bit too much of the Giovanni Clan from the Vampire the Masquerade tabletop game.
13:50 even the roofs are levitating in Morrowind
I quite literally made a noise when I heard the Morrowind theme, so much nostalgia hearing that and "The Roads Less Traveled"
The Dunmer are my favorite race in the Elder Scrolls. Hell yeah, FudgeMuppet 🙌
BLASPHEMY!! The Dunmer are an abomination, True are the ways of the Altmer, Auri-el rulezz!!!🤘
3:57 "Cool, we're in Balmora, nothing to see here WAIT WHAT THIS BRIDGE IS A LIE"
It's not that they hate one another, it's that they're struggling together!
i couldn’t appreciate Brand Shei’s quest in Riften without understanding the great houses and the Dunmer-Argonian relationship. I felt like it was hard to understand what’s going on Skyrim at all since I did not play previous games, but thankfully I’ve watched almost all the lore videos on this channel so I feel at home now lol
Morrowind lore is my personal favourite part of TES lore. Thanks for this Fudgemuppet
I just need Skywind or an official remaster already.
@@thetrustysidekick3013 I literally watched that right after I left my comment
"The Chimer are mortals, alike any other race."
Ha. Haha. Hahaha!
Love this stuff right here. The lore of the Elder Scrolls goes so deep and is so fleshed out, you can have a college major on the histories of Tamriel.
Morrowind lore is the best. Now please make a video about Vivec's life.
Which life. The real life of vivec or the fiction he passes off as lessons?
Nice camera work! Well delivered, deep lore. The regional differences were reflected in houses policy wise and stylistically.
One of the best RPGs on any platform, and IMO the best Elder Scrolls game. Such unique landscapes and timelessly haunting music by the legendary Jeremy Soule.
The only reason it was hard to pick between Telvanni and Hlaalu was because of Crassius Curio.
*for some reason.*
In morrowind I DEADASS have 2 saves same character but one route I went hlaalu one route I went telvanni it’s great
I really hope we learn more about house Sadras, what are their values, their aesthetic and influence? When I played Morrowind, Hlaalu was my favourite house mainly because they were located in Balmora so were the first house I encountered.
Ah morrowind, the shining crown jewel of the elder scrolls series. It was my first game in the series and the one I'm looking back most fondly at. There is just so much creativity and deepth in this game, that the others just feel so incredible generic and boring in comparison.
And I couldn't be prouder of my house redoran. Being the ones to protect morrowind when the need arose, there is no greater honor than that.
You're right! Back in 2007, when I made the leap from Morrowind to Oblivion, it was a huge let down. TES IV felt so bland and generic, I was walking just by the Morrowind's border thinking "I want to go that way!"
Idk if you've done this one already but I think it'd be cool to hear about all the different afterlives of the races of Tamriel. Great video as always!
Luna Athena Yeah they've got one here: ua-cam.com/video/9raSqlhMcnw/v-deo.html
The only thing I need to know about House Dren is that by playing the Thieves Guild and/or Morag Tong, I get to kill the leaders at Dren Plantation and earn favor with the Twin Lamps. And snag a Daedric katana.
This one knows Velsa was once a part of House Dres. She freed the slaves and this one is happy she did so.
House Telvanni I feel like is the Mosg powerful house but just doesn’t care about the rest of morrowind.
Or anything outside their wizard towers. They just chill and do unspeakable horrors to random people to gain more power
Definitely thought this would be a Scott video. Good to hear you again, Drew!
Hears Hlaalu merchant's guild.
*Hey Hey people, Sseth here*
Jiub: Wake Up. We're Here. Why are you shaking? Are you ok? Wake up. Stand up. There you go. You were dreaming. What's your name?
Is this how you honour the sixth house unmourned
It's pretty cool to piece together how much the elder scrolls is inspired by dnd lore, especially in regards to dark elves
My favorite part is at minute 4 when you're talking about Mephala with the Dunmer walking in the background and he just phases through the bridge. Really brings the "lies" part into fruition
I spieth Morrowind Gameplay
And I was glad.
House Redoran is my favorite house
As a member of House Dagoth I feel sad that Dagoth was NOT INCLUDED IN THE TITLE
Im here to pay tribute to the sixth house and the tribe unmourned.
House Telvanni is the best of the great houses. Change my mind.
@@redguardpuremage9641 Unconventional...I like it. I recently started an Orc Mage playthrough
I love the indoril architecture style especially with mgso installed to give it the pink Japanese style trees it’s just really neat
You guys always provide such eloquent perspective on beloved topics. Thank you
House Hlaalu for life
I hope for more in-depth race story questline in Elder Scrolls 6, so you can get a unique feel for each race. Even though the main story is the same.
This video is the perfect companion for my new Morrowind playthrough! #HouseTelvanni
This video coming out around this time is a little ironic for me cause I just recently decided to play through Morrowind again lol.
House Hlaluu was really rich house even they give Stronghold with expensive Ebony Blade,Ebony Darts and two personal trainers in stronghold for 5000 gold
The Dark Elves could conquer tamriel if they actually worked as single Nation. They are excellent warriors, excellent mages, excellent strategists with a culture of combat and structure. And all dark elves live for hundreds of years sometimes thousands if they are magically talented.
They have the land (or at least had*) the land needed to support a standing army of mages and battalions of warriors. Natural barriers of mountains and volcanos that only they really thrive in. And a mainland protected by an ocean that they have singular control over.
They hold themselves back with archaic traditions of house on house warfare.
And slavery has been their biggest crutch for hundreds of years and causes their downfall after Red Mountain erupted and the argonians attacked. The argonians almost won. They attacked the dunmer at their weakest and could have taken all morrowind if it werent for the fact that Dunmer are even more tenacious than Argonians fueled with Hist sap.
let's not forget they got fucked by the nords until the fucking gods made them lose at red mountain
got fucked by the Kamal
got fucked diplomatically by the septim empire
got fucked by argonians on hist sap (argonians are underrated to be fair)
and the average lifespan of a dunmer is 100-200 only a select few manage to live longer without daedric influence
and they don't have the tribunal anymore
Top quality, as always. Thank you!
There are six Great House last in Morrowind, and an interesting thing is that each one has a foil, which are similar but distinctly different.
Redoran and Indoril are nationalistic, with strong ties to tradition and dislike foreign powers, such as the Empire. Redoran is composed of strong warriors who hack the government, and Indoril is comprised of spiritualists who hack the temple.
Hlaalu and Dres are both trade houses. Hlaalu trade in goods, who have strong ties with those outside of Morrowind, but are looked down on the native Dunmer, while Dres are slavers who deal in slaves, who have strong ties in Morrowind but are looked down on by those outside of Morrowind where slavery is illegal.
Telvanni and Dagoth are more about the strength of the individual instead of the House as a whole, who don’t care about politics, who will do anything to get ahead.
Dagoth is destroyed, Telvanni is greatly weakened, Hlaalu isn't a house anymore, Dres is practically anhailated by the Accession War, and Indoril without the temple is useless.
@@curtiswong7280 House Hlaalu is still a Great House - it's just been kicked from the Grand Council due to Redoran corruption.
@@dutchpatriot17 It becomes a House but not a Great House. The prefix "Great" is exclusive for the 5 of the ruling council.
@@curtiswong7280 ''The Ulen Family of House Hlaalu, a rival Great House, has placed a deathmark on the councilor's head."
~Adril Arano
They are still a Great House, they just aren't allowed by the Redoran and their puppets to sit on the Grand Council.
@@curtiswong7280 Also, fyi, the term '"Great House'' was also used when the Grand Council wasn't a thing.
After this video I think House Redoran is my favorite of the houses. I like that they value honesty, respect, and honor. This video also makes me appreciate that House Redoran is the controller of Vvardenfell instead of any other house.
That sound track… beautiful!
Gotta love the lore videos. It’s the best part about my mornings
Yes! I've been waiting for this one! Thanks FudgeMuppet! Keep up the good work!
I love anything involving the dunmer they are the best
The dunmer seem to have the coziest houses
Excellent dialogue about the Morrowind great houses. Thank you.
🙃☕❤❤❤❤
There are some things I disagree with. Regarding the Telvanni I think it should be noted that they aren't as racist as they may seem. They do accept outlanders in their order and let them ascend it as shown in ESO(Sun-In-Shadow) and TES III(Anora). In fact they are among the most meritocrayic houses. Since their criteria is how much someone encompasses and lives by the "Telvanni way".
Concerning their demise I am really surprised no one points out the inconsistency with the story that they were wiped out by the Argonians. Argonians made it up to Mournhold. Noone managed to advance to Vvardenfell. And Telvannis reside in northern Vvardenfell. And since the Argonian armeis reached Mournhold, this story of them slaughtering Telvannis seems too far fetched for me. Especially noting how to reach a Telvanni you have to be a really good mage and to kill one you have to be a national powerhouse. Telvanni Magisters afterall are terrifyingly powerful. Not too far behind(if behind at all) to the psijics.
It is far more likely that they were killed with the eruption of Red Mountain, than to any Argonian blade.
Hell, they even let the Dragonborn in regardless of what race they are.
My man, absolute perfect timing for me. Great content as usual.
How Redoran has strayed from Mufasa, they gotta remember who they are.
4:23 can you spot the floating elf?
Aah the guy that walked through the bridge at ~4:00
I have gone so far into this lore lmao... Like in my head. My morrowind character and my oblivion characters. In my little head. The two hero's met and had a family together and that family was past down hundreds of years to skyrim. My skyrim character is the 6th generation nord in the family(my characters). (Yes this makes the neverine and the hero kavatch related to the dragonborn. What? Are you gonna sue me?)
House redoran holds a lot of great values basically honor, and house hlaalu is probably my favorite overall basically no racism , but house indoril's architecture is so awesome hard choice for me
@An Orc Warrior nah it doesnt practice slavery but dunmer are just racist ppl it's not down to the great houses
The elder scrolls 3 was so life changing for me it is so breath taking i love the grate houses 5 game plays just to understand it all
Redoran and Telvani are both allied since I aided the counselor on Sholsteim who is head of house Redoran and helped Neloth, head of house Telvani. With two families allied to the stormcloaks, just one more family till Morrowind has to join the reformed Ebonheart Pact I lead.
If i could be any race in the elder scrolls it would be a dark elf for sure i love the race and their culture and history
This does not honor the 6th house and the tribe unmourned.
I'm glad the Argonians got their revenge. Slavery is among the greatest of evils.
Is this how you honour the six house and the tribe unmourned?
Foul and evil? Really? Is this how you honor the sixth house and the tribe unmourned?
I wish we got to know what role house Sadras does for the governance of Morrowind (aside from just fulfilling the gap left by Hlaalu when it was stripped of its status)
Thanks, Drew. Awesome, as always!
I love it when you post morrowind
Morrowind: * fucking explodes *
Argonians (singing): I'm about to whip somebody's ass...
a remake for morrowind and oblivion would be awesome
Another great video,thanks boys.
I’m loving this soundtrack tbh
