17th of First Seed, 3E 429 – East of Ald’ruhn, Morrowind Province, the Third Empire
Andril Golthyn, once Dimartani, lived to serve.
They said that the evil within Red Mountain was no more. Yet Andril watched all

Daria crossed St. Roris Bridge with Jane, Jeval, and Treads behind her, all the while trying not to think too far ahead. Plans tended to fall apart in disasters. Any move plotted three steps ahead would be out of step by the time she got tha

Red Mountain fumed in the north and Balmora’s people fumed in the streets.
Maiko stood at attention behind a wooden barricade as what looked like half the city yelled invective at their leaders. Would be nice if some of those leaders came dow

Quinn Morgendorffer, first of her name (so far as she knew), finally had the world in her grasp.
Well, maybe not the entire world, but she almost had Drenlyn Academy in her grasp, and that’d get the whole thing started, right? The boring old

Jane blew on her cold-numbed hands and wished she didn’t live so far north.
Shivering, she extended her hands so that they hovered by the flickering flames in J’dash’s hearth. Rain crashed in torrents on the roof of her landlord’s junk shop,

Not that Satheri needed to ask. Tollie always wanted a snack. She smiled as the bantam guar trotted, on his little leathery legs, toward her outstretched hands full of marshmerrow pulp. Daddy had bought Tollie at the market

Students came in and out of Drenlyn Academy all the time. The academy was as transactional as everything else in Hlaalu lands: an outlander family paid the entry fees, their bright-eyed child made some connections, and then both parties went
Read more…Most of the episodes of Daria in Morrowind take place in the city of Balmora. As such, I though it would be helpful to create a map. I used Inkarnate, which is an excellent service. Unfortunately, this limited me to a more typically "medieval Europea

They called Sadrith Mora a city, but it looked more like a fungal nightmare that had erupted and grown until it covered half of the rocky island it claimed as its home.
Daria wasn’t sure she liked the place, exactly. But it was certainly memo

Daria first started practicing the arcane a week after her return from Caldera.
She did it because of the memories from the past year-and-a-half weighing down on her: Synda’s attack, the nix hound by the shrine, and Todis and Shalfar chasing
Read more…Synda Grilvayn no longer liked to be seen.
She followed her parents down High Town’s broad streets, beneath the strings of yellow lanterns and past the burbling fountains whose turbid waters caught the lanterns’ light. It was evening, warm and balmy w

Daria had finally decided it was time to tell someone about what Synda had done to her.
Specifically, time to tell Jane.
She mulled over it again as she walked to Jane’s apartment on a cool Fredas afternoon. Spring hadn’t quite driven off the
Read more…Dad hadn’t shaved his horns in a while.
The two bony protuberances stuck up from his forehead, strands of limp blond hair hanging like curtains off the sides. Dad didn’t used to wear his hair long but had started ever since they moved to Balmora. Come

Daria hated to admit it, but she kind of liked Drenlyn Academy’s library. Considering that Drenlyn existed only to help rich outlanders and rich natives exploit one another, it was remarkable that someone had taken great care in choosing the

Jane bowed before some clients, but not this one, not Haldskyr Bear-grip. It's not that she didn't respect him. Nords just hated bowing. Better for her to stand and watch as Haldskyr studied the three-quarters head-and-shoulders portrait she

Ash-tainted rain poured down from a sky the color of rust as Daria marched uphill, weighed down by her drenched green cloak and her pack. Thunder pealed in the distance, booming across the jagged hills and blackened gullies that stretched al

Sure, things did get all cold and gloomy in autumn, but that just meant it was time to buy an outfit with layers. And it’s not like Quinn had bought any new dresses (that second-hand one didn't count) since coming to Morrowind, so she had to
