Morrowind is the third installment in the Elder Scrolls series. The game takes place on the island of Vvardenfell, a district in the Dunmeri province of Morrowind. It is smaller in scope than the previous games in the main series, Daggerfall and Arena, yet much more detailed. This epic, open-ended RPG allows for a wide variety of character designs and play styles. The game continues to be sold on store shelves eight years after its initial release, partially due to the widespread mod community which has the potential to supply Morrowind with new content in perpetuity. The Xbox 360 is backwards compatible with Morrowind.

In 3E 427, with Imperial authority weakened by questions of succession, the already shaky Imperial administration of Morrowind was threatened by the re-awakening of an ancient curse beneath the giant volcano Red Mountain, also called "Dagoth-Ur." An Imperial courier marked by the stars, born on a certain date to uncertain parents, came to Morrowind a stranger and outlander, and lived to become one of that nation's most enduring legends.

As of June 16, 2009, the Morrowind Game of the Year edition is available for download from Steam.

~Expansion Packs~

Tribunal is the first of two expansion packs for Morrowind. It takes place in Mournhold, a Temple city inside the capital of the Dunmeri province of Morrowind. The story unfolds as you are drawn into the machinations and intrigues of two opposing forces: The rising power of the ruthless new King Hlaalu Helseth, and the desperate attempts of Almalexia, being stripped of the source of her own Immortality, to keep her hold on the people. Through a series of quests, both sides seek to manipulate you (as the Nerevarine) to their advantage.

Bloodmoon is the latter of the two expansion packs for Morrowind. It takes place on Solstheim, an icy island north-west of Vvardenfell.
