House Indoril Names

Post » Fri Nov 16, 2012 8:08 am

Just wanted to drop in real quick and check on something.

I'm currently planning out a very large fanfiction set in the 3rd century of the 3rd era in Morrowind. One of the main characters is a high ranking Ordinator from House Indoril. As I was looking up the names, I noticed that both Nerevar and Brindisi Dorom have Indoril in front of their name. Is it a custom of House Indoril to precede one's name with Indoril or is that just an honor held by Nerevar and Brindisi Dorom?

That's how all house names are written. Members of Dunmer Houses often come from smaller families within the umbrella of the big five, and so they put the house name first. For example, I seem to remember "Indoril Nerevar Mora"...

Thanks! Can't believe I never noticed that before. :P

No problem! Another example is Sedura Kena Telvanni Hordalf Xyr from the horror of castle Xyr. (Sedura and Kena are titles/honorifics)

That just makes Dunmer names so much more interesting. Another example of why they're my favorite race/culture.

Also, are there any stated ranks within the Ordinators or do they use the same titles as the Temple?
