From left to right: docks, slums, and market

Old Ebonheart is the largest Imperial city in Morrowind, as well as the province's Imperial capital. Set on the eastern banks of the Thirr River delta, Old Ebonheart has become known as an important trade city. Its massive stone towers and unbreakable walls give Old Ebonheart a dominate position over the southern Inner Sea. The city's seclusion from Dunmer influence makes it feel like a part of Cyrodiil. Inhabitants will sell items, share rumors, and display actions entirely unique to Morrowind.

Plaza[edit]

The plaza, west of the main gates, is home to several manors and offices. The Fighter's Guild, Imperial Archaeological Society headquarters, East Empire Company offices, Grand Chapel of Talos, and other important buildings are located here. Traveling vendors sell their goods by the fountain.

Castle[edit]

Across the bridge from the plaza is the Old Ebonheart castle. This massive structure contains a courtroom, offices, living quarters for many notable people, the Morrowind Imperial Legion Headquarters, a large atrium, provincial missions, and more. The court wizard, Tarhiel, has recently vanished from his chambers. The six dukes of Morrowind occasionally call the castle home, although the Duke of Deshaan is the only one currently in residence. Lord General Caecalia Victrix is the head of the Imperial Legion in Morrowind, and lives within the headquarters.

Market District[edit]

To the east of the main gates is the market district, which provides dozens of services to the player in its many shops. Alchemists, clothiers, enchanters, armorers, booksellers, bakers, and other traders offer their goods to resting travelers. Some inns will accommodate the player, and the local Mages Guild is to the west.

Slums[edit]

On the far eastern side of Old Ebonheart lies the slums, which stretches over the market and to the west, eventually ending with upper-class households in its place. Besides Gul Ei's pantry, Arnulf's smithy, and a few taverns, such as The Salty Futtocks and The Empress Katariah, there is little of interest here.

Docks[edit]

North of the slums lies the docks. Merchants and sailors flock here to rest and sell items not normally sold in Dunmer cities. The Imperial Navy Headquarters, a Census and Excise office, an Imperial Navy warship, and other anchored ships currently call the Old Ebonheart docks home.

People[edit]

Most notable people are located in the castle. Caros Cocceius is the Lord Chamberlain of the castle, and Erys Mundrethi is its Captain of the Guard. Duke Phyrios Mattimus of the Deshaan District lives in the central structure of the castle.

For a complete list see People in Old Ebonheart.

Getting There and Around[edit]

A fast and easy way to reach Old Ebonheart is by boat. Routes from Darnim, Teyn, Andothren, and Almas Thirr will take you to the docks.

A guar outside the main gates offers travel options away from the city, and the local Mages Guild can provide a Guild Guide for more locations. The Temple of the Nine Divines is reachable by Divine Intervention. By foot, Old Ebonheart can be reached with relative ease by taking paths running through the Thirr River Valley Region.
