Morrowind:Red Mountain

The UESPWiki – Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995

The landmark volcano Red Mountain is the highest peak of Morrowind, located in the center of Vvardenfell. It is generally considered to be the most dangerous region on the continent. In this wasteland of deep ravines, so-called Foyada, and lava pools, blighted monsters run free and the minions of Dagoth Ur, so-called Ash Creatures roam the land. Entrance to Red Mountain is limited: around the perimeter of Red Mountain the Tribunal has constructed the Ghostfence, a giant Spirit Wall. The only way inside without extended jump or levitation is through Ghostgate in the south. This region can be marked by the steep climbs to the top of the mountain and by the Ash Storms that fill the air and limit visibility to a few feet. Overall travelers new to Morrowind should be wary of this region.

Since the loss of the Dwemer Artifacts, Sunder and Keening, few have ventured inside the Ghostfence. Red Mountain is almost entirely uncharted, and one will not find any accurate, up-to-date maps or terrain guides anywhere. It is known, however, that there are four ancient Dwemer ruins in the region, three of which are residences for Dagoth Ur's most trusted ash vampires; the other being Dagoth Ur's headquarters. Even though this area is extremely dangerous, Glass and Ebony mines have been set up inside the Ghostfence under Imperial guard.

The Foyada Mamaea leads from Ghostgate to the Moonmoth Legion Fort near Balmora, and an unnamed foyada follows the Ghostfence northwest to Ald'ruhn. Just north of the Ghostfence is the lost Dunmer fortress of Kogoruhn. It is rumored that a secret entrance links this structure with Red Mountain proper.

This entrance, however, is long-winded and you will face many ash creatures in the caves of Kogoruhn. Ghostgate has many supplies and information, so new players are more likely to survive by using Ghostgate.
