Ularradallaku (also known as Ularra)[1] is a Daedric ruin located on the slopes of Red Mountain in the island district of Vvardenfell, situated in the province of Morrowind.

History

In its time, Ularradallaku was a temple dedicated to Mehrunes Dagon, the Daedric Prince of Revolution and Destruction. It also contained a statue to Hircine, the Huntsman Prince.[2] It subsequently fell into ruin. During the Interregnum circa 2E 582, Ularradallaku was used by the Circle of Champions as a site for bloodsport. Fighters from all three sides of the Alliance War came to the Ularra battleground to participate in the games held by the gladiators.[3]

Eventually, the ruins once again fell into disuse. The Ordinators were charged with keeping cultists from restoring old Daedric shrines such as Ularradallaku, as worship of the Bad Daedra was forbidden by the Tribunal Temple. However, by 3E 427 the Ordinators had begun to neglect this duty, as they were occupied with suppressing of dissidents. With the Ordinators' attention turned elsewhere, worship at many of these temples was revived.[4][5] Ularradallaku was one such site, being reclaimed by worshippers of Mehrunes Dagon. That same year, the Dark Brotherhood attempted to gain a foothold within the island of Vvardenfell, and negotiated with Mehrunes Dagon's cultists. The cultists promised the Brotherhood shelter in Dagon's shrines across Vvardenfell. Eno Hlaalu, grandmaster of the Morag Tong, took notice and ordered an assassin to wipe out the Brotherhood's strongholds. One of Ularra's worshippers wielded the Glove of Sanguine Safekeeping, one of the Threads of the Webspinner considered sacred by the Morag Tong. The gloves were reclaimed by an agent of the Tong that same year.[6]
