Morrowind:Elder Scrolls Historical References

References to events in the history of The Elder Scrolls are documented separately to Easter Eggs.

If you think you have found an undocumented reference, please post your idea on this article's talk page before adding it to this article.

Arena

• Senilius' Report mentions "the secret of Passwall" which was "lost nearly a generation ago". This is a reference to the Passwall spell effect in Arena, which allowed the caster to tunnel through solid walls.

Daggerfall

• The book Where Were You When the Dragon Broke? found in Morrowind references the so-called Warp in the West. The greatly varied but all-canonically-confirmed ending choices given to the player at the end of Daggerfall are described through different perspectives.
• The book The Arcturian Heresy directly references Zurin Arctus, the betrayal by his battlemage, the activation and destruction of the Numidium, and the creation of the Mantella- all central and important plot background for Daggerfall.
• Also the book Corpse Preparation v I references The Warp in the West by mentioning "The newly formed Orsinium," and King Gortwog. Orcs did not have their own officially-recognized province until the player's actions at the end of Daggerfall.

Battlespire

• The tower of Tel Fyr holds many treasures that originally appeared in Battlespire, including the Cuirass of the Savior's Hide, Scourge, Starlover's Log, and even a method by which the last remaining Daedric Crescent can be obtained.

Redguard

• Male Redguards will randomly say, "So I said. Where's the money in that?" to themselves. This is a recurring line in Redguard.
• Mariah is mentioned in a scroll written in blood. Its author, Malaki the Lightfooted, wishes to hear her "beautiful voice" again.
• Artisa Arelas speaks of "N'Gasta was a great Sload necromancer and servant of Clavicus Vile in the Second Era".
• N'Gasta! Kvata! Kvakis! is attributed to N'Gasta.
• There is an option to lie to Trels Varis about looking for the Eye of Argonia, the cancelled sequel to Redguard.
