Ghostfence

I disagree with Dr. Photon's edit on Morrowind:Ghostfence. The fence does not protect the surrounding areas from the Blight storms that are very much present almost everywhere around Red Mountain outside the fence. This is a minor issue, but I am asking for comments. --FMan | Talk (contribs) 12:02, 18 January 2007 (EST)

I think Dr. Photon is right. Blight storms (characterized by red skies) occur only in the Red Mountain region. Ash storms occur in neigboring regions, but not Blight storms. As for blight creatures, I think that the explanation is that they either escaped from Red Mountain, or were infected by other creatures who escaped from Red Moutain. --Wrye 20:22, 18 January 2007 (EST)
If you do a search for Blight Storms in the Construction Set, you'll find the answer (unfortunately, I don't have access to it now). I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure this is the way it is. BTW, shouldn't this kind of discussions go to the article's talk page? --DrPhoton 03:12, 19 January 2007 (EST)
Yeah, should be on article's talk page. I assume FMan brought it here because of dispute with other editor, but best action for that is to put it on talk page, then if there's no resolution, and you want more eyeballs, just message another editor or two to comment. Anyway, the TESCS is not immediately definitive, because blight and ash storms for both regions are zero to start with. I think main quest turns them on through scripts and then back off through scripts again later when you finish it. And I didn't bother to double check it by searching all scripts. --Wrye 03:46, 19 January 2007 (EST)
What I meant is that if you look at what NPCs say about the Ghostfence or Blight Storms in the dialogue entries, you may find the answer to this question. --DrPhoton 08:06, 19 January 2007 (EST)
Here's what any Ordinator, Buoyant Armiger, Priest or NPC at Ghostgate will tell you about the Ghostfence:
The Ghostfence is a magic wall running completely around Red Mountain. The barrier keeps blight storms and blight monsters from spreading across Vvardenfell.
