[edit] Ravan

Ravan is a large island in the Eltheric, south in the Sea of Pearls, possibly considered as part of the land mass of Yokuda.

[edit] Raven Rock

[edit] The Reach

The Reach, one of the nine Holds in Skyrim province, is easily mistaken for a typical High Rock city and probably contains more non-Nords than Nords.

[edit] Red Mountain, (The)

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.

[edit] Red Ring Road, The

The Red Ring Road circles Lake Rumare and the Imperial City.

[edit] Reed River

[edit] Resdayn

Resdayn (sometimes also referred to as Resdaynia) was the name of the independent nation that once existed in the northeast corner of Tamriel. After joining the Cyrodilic Empire, the region was renamed Morrowind. Resdayn was originally inhabited by two now-extinct races, namely the Chimer and the Dwemer, then later was primarily inhabited by the Dunmer.

[edit] Rihad

Rihad is a port city at the southern edge of Hammerfell, just north of its border with Cyrodiil. Rihad is located on the coast of the Abecean Sea, on the main road between Anvil and Taneth. The Brena River flows into the Abecean Sea just south of the city. The city is an eclectic mix of Redguard Forebears, survivors of the Yokuda Ra Gada, followers of Satakal, a few Bretons, and warriors-in-training from all over the empire ^[1]. Buildings in the city with its high domes, the flying dew sails, and the mosaic colophons were constructed over the old and new ruins of past civilizations. In 3E 253, armies of Taneth and Rihad were defeated in the Battle of Dragontooth by the Camoran Usurper, leading to the fall of southern Hammerfell.

The city is the birthplace of well-known historian Destri Melarg.
