Far from the greed of Imperial conquest, Azura, Lady of the Star, bestowed her inner thoughts on Nirn. From the flower of her mind sprang a land, The Azurian Isles.

Explanation:
Lyithdonea is a new landmass mod for TESIII: Morrowind. I have a full mainquest and several faction questlines in the outline. The mod focuses on delving into various facets of lore in the Elder Scrolls universe while throwing the player into a new land full of wonder and mystery.
One of my greatest prides in this endeavor is the large amount of lore I have created for this new land, all being sympathetic to existing lore. I have written multiple books on the history, factions, religion, flora, fauna of the isles; and many more are planned or in the works. That's just the books. I'm also writing a fully fledged storyline with side quests.
History:
Religion:
Azura is the prime deity worshiped by House Azura, they respect the other daedra but do not worship them. The old ways of ancestor worship are also an integral part of worship and communing in the isles. Ancestral tombs, minor ghost gences, and Waiting Doors are common in the Isles.
Geography:
The Azurian Isles are a large archipelago located far to the southeast of Vvardenfell Island, and beyond the mainland of Morrowind. The lush, tropical Azurian Isles Region dominates the archipelago. To the south, the traditionally named Thousand Isles are inhabited by the separatist Ouameri tribe of Dunmer. In the southeastern portion of the isles is a high peak known to the locals as Starmount which holds great significance in their religious rituals.

THIS WILL NOT AND DOES NOT CONFLICT WITH TAMRIEL REBUILT. No worries 
Factions:
Besides House Azura and the Azuran Presbytery, there are three prominent factions in Lyithdonea: the Ouakam Tong, the Guild of Mages, and the Ouamer. The Ouakam Tong is a dunmer guild unique to the isles, they could be defined as a diving guild, but in reality there is more to the Tong than that definition and the player will have to learn about them during the story, and possibly their own questline, if I have time. The Mages Guild set up shop many years ago and are one of the few foreign agencies currently allowed in the isles, and the player's point of entry. The Ouamer are the tribe of dark elves living in the swampy southern region of Lyithdonea.
