[edit] Political

Vvardenfell is ruled by the Great Council, that has representatives from each of the three Great Houses of Morrowind present on Vvardenfell: Hlaalu, Redoran and Telvanni. Duke Vedam Dren of House Hlaalu is the head of the council and leader of the Vvardenfell district.

[edit] Commerce

Import and export are chartered by the Emperor to the East Empire Company that deals closely with Imperial-friendly House Hlaalu. The company mines raw ebony and glass on the island.

[edit] Geography

Vvardenfell has several regions: Ascadian Isles, Ashlands, Azura's Coast, Bitter Coast, Grazelands, Molag Amur, Red Mountain, Sheogorad, West Gash and Zafirbel Bay. The biggest towns are Balmora, Vivec, Ald'ruhn, Suran and Sadrith Mora. Also on the island, various Daedric Shrines and Dwemer Ruins are to be found, as well as ancient Dunmer Strongholds.

[edit] People

Inhabitants of Vvardenfell are members of the three Great Houses, native Ashlanders and members of the Temple, to which all wilderness belongs. Outlanders are not particularly welcome, especially in eastern parts, i.e. the Telvanni area. The imperial guilds are well established though and do accept foreigners openly. House Hlaalu is also rather welcoming to them.

[edit] Transportation

Inhabitants of Vvardenfell either walk, use large bugs called Silt Striders, or use boats to transport people and cargo. Guild Guides provided by the Mages Guild can also provide transportation.

[edit] Religion

Two main religions exist, the Imperial Cult and the Temple, who worship the Almsivi. Additionally, the ashlanders have their Nerevarine Cult, ancestor worship is still practiced by some and even Daedra worshippers are known to exist locally.
