Gilverdale was a town in easternmost Valenwood that was destroyed by the Daedra Molag Bal on 19 Sun's Dawn, 1E 2920.[1]
This act of destruction had at least one important result. The living god Almalexia had experienced a dream that had revealed to her that Morrowind would lose its current war unless Sotha Sil returned to the province[2]. She was traveling to Artaeum to convince Sotha Sil to return when she came across the remains of the town[3]. Upon reaching Artaeum and telling her story, Sotha Sil entered Oblivion to arrange a pact with the Daedric Princes[4], and persuaded eight of them only to use "intermediaries such as witches or sorcerers" to attack mortals rather than manifesting directly.
The second result is less certain. Since Sotha Sil eventually arrived only shortly after Morrowind had lost the final battle of the war[5] it is possible that the delay imposed by his excursion into Oblivion was directly responsible for the loss of the war.
