During a recent visit to a local tavern I encountered a most rate happenstance,
a Dunmer, or Dark Elf!  This was only the 3rd time I'd actually seen one in my
travels and the only time it wasn't trying to kill me.  Taking a chance (and 
gripping my sword a little tighter) I approached to see if he would offer any
conversation.  Although not entirely sociable, I did manage to learn quite a
bit about his homeland of Morrowind and his people.


I've heard of the volcano which shares your land and was wondering how much 
danger it poses?  I can't imagine an actice volcano in your backyard to be
that safe you know.
>

One of my friends says that the volcano would send any precious metals and gems
from deep in the earth to the surface where they would concentrate.  Any truth
in his musings?  Are there any metals or gems that are unique to Morrowind because
of the volcano or otherwise?
>

I've heard a few tales of the strange creatures that wander your lands.  What
sort of dangerous beasts would an adventure face in Morrowind?
>

Do your people celebrate any festivities along with the rest of Tamriel (such
as Jester's Day, Second Planting, etc...)?  In either case, what sort of 
celebrations might I witness if I were to visit a Dunmer town?
>

Because of the volcano and all its ash, do your dwellings and villages have to
be constructed any differently?
>

I've heard that wood is rare in Morrowind because of the reduced sunlight due to
ash from the volcano.  Any truth to this or has the vegetation adapted enough to
supply enough wood for buildings, construction, fuel, etc...? 
>

How did Morrowind fare with Tiber Septim when he conquered and united the 
provinces?
>

What sort of profession is the average Dark Elf involved in?  I've heard vaguely 
of dust merchants and beetle farmers...are these the most common types of work?
> 

Have your people developed any unique magicks or are your mages no different than
those in my land?
>

I've always been curious about the lifespan of elves.  We all know they live much
longer than all other races, is this true for the Dunmer as well?  How many years
would it take for you to be considered 'old'?
>


At this point his eyes seemed to become more fiery and I decided I best excuse
myself before something regrettable happened.  Although short, it was a most
unqiue and enjoyable experience and I hope I get the chance to visit Morrowind
some day soon.
