Morrowind:Mines

The UESPWiki – Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995

Morrowind is justly famous for its mineral wealth. Here are to be mined raw Ebony and Glass, both used for making weapons: competition is particularly fierce in the Ebony industry, with Imperials taking a keen interest, competition between houses Hlaalu and Redoran, and even the Zainab Ashlanders have an interest in the business. A single Diamond mine is also operational, run as a joint Imperial/Hlaalu concern.

Also to be found in Morrowind are the "egg mine" lairs of the Kwama. Although not strictly "mines" in the traditional sense (in that they are not artificially delved by man or mer), several are exploited as mines in which the principal products are Kwama Eggs, one of the region's staple foods. Many more eggmines are either undiscovered or unexploited: food is not a scarce resource, even considering that some mines are blighted.

[edit] Egg Mines

Abaesen-Pulu Egg Mine: Approximately halfway between Seyda Neen and Vivec City.
Abebaal Egg Mine: A little northeast of Tel Branora, this mine is run by Telvanni and staffed by slaves.
Ahallaraddon Egg Mine: A small mine on the southeastern corner of the mainland.
Ahanibi-Malmus Egg Mine: Right in the middle of nowhere, directly north of Dagoth-Ur outside the Ghostfence.
Akimaes-Ilanipu Egg Mine: Just next door to Falasmaryon Stronghold.
Asha-Ahhe Egg Mine: One of Khuul's two nearby egg mines, to the south. Also the hideout of the witch Thelsa Dral.
Ashimanu Egg Mine: Right out in the middle of nowhere between Ald'ruhn, Andasreth Stronghold and Gnisis.
Band Egg Mine: West of Caldera, just over the hills.
Eluba-Addon Egg Mine: West and south from Ald Velothi, on the coast.
Eretammus-Sennammu Egg Mine: A little way northwest from Tel Branora.
Gnisis Eggmine: In the hills above town, this mine is one of the few of any interest.
Hairat-Vassamsi Egg Mine: Just to the west, over the hills from Maar Gan.
Hawia Egg Mine: A large eggmine just outside Vivec's Foreign Quarter.
Inanius Egg Mine: Not far outside Suran, this mine is the subject of bickering between House Hlaalu nobles.
Madas-Zebba Egg Mine: On the northwestern peninsula of the large island of Dagon Fel, west of town.
Maelu Egg Mine: Some way south of the Zainab camp, where the Grazelands meet the ash hills.
Maesa-Shammus Egg Mine: On the southeastern mainland, northeast of Molag Mar.
Matus-Akin Egg Mine: Also on the southeastern mainland, northeast of Molag Mar.
Missir-Dadalit Egg Mine: In Molag Amur region, marking the approximate halfway point between Tel Fyr and Tel Uvirith.
Mudan-Mul Egg Mine: This mine services the adjacent tower of Tel Vos.
Panabanit-Nimawia Egg Mine: A blighted mine inside the Ghostfence.
Panud Egg Mine: Khuul's other egg mine, just southeast of town.
Pudai Egg Mine: The other egg mine on Dagon Fel island, west of town. Currently not being worked, the entrance has been lost. But it is rumoured that some of the eggs in this mine are more valuable than usual...
Sarimisun-Assa Egg Mine: Just north of Andasreth Stronghold.
Setus Egg Mine: An island eggmine, near Ald Daedroth Shrine.
Shulk Egg Mine: Balmora's principal egg mine, just down river. Not as profitable as it ought to be, and the Fighters' Guild knows why.
Shurdan-Raplay Egg Mine: A little further downriver from Balmora, this business funds the Hlaalu stronghold of Rethan Manor - or will do, once its queen has been cured of the Blight, and the local bandits driven away.
Sinamusa Egg Mine: A little way west of the Ahemmusa camp, this mine is blighted and its workers all fled or dead.
Sinarralit Egg Mine: This mine is just south of Vos.
Sur Egg Mine: In the middle of nowhere, south and west from Zainab Camp. It is particularly notable for the somewhat picturesque permanent lava fountain to be found within the cave.
Vansunalit Egg Mine: Suran's second eggmine, but not in use (presumably because it is too close to Telasero Stronghold, and also because it is largely flooded).
Zalkin-Sul Egg Mine: In the middle of Molag Amur, the only nearby habitation is Tel Uvirith.
