Morrowind Award #2: Favorite Town/City


The Nominees

Balmora

House Hlaalu's council seat and their symbol of dominance over the Ascadian Isles. Not only is Balmora one of the largest cities on Vvardenfell but for most players it holds a bunch of memories as well. For countless characters this was the first real city they saw. Here they started the Main Quest, the Fighters Guild, the Mages Guild, House Hlaalu or the Thieves Guild. Balmora is legendary.

Ald'Ruhn

Ald'Ruhn is more than just a council seat and more than just the largest city in the Ashlands. In many ways it is the same as Balmora instead that Balmora was the first. Ald'Ruhn however counters this like a boss by having their nobility live in the shell of a giant enemy emperor crab.

Sadrith Mora


With the inclusion of Sadrith Mora and thus the third and final council seat this begins to feel like a battle between the three great houses represented on Vvardenfell.
Built in the typical Telvanni style is is truly a sight to behold. Especially the large council hall is truly beautiful.

Vivec

Vivec is by far the largest city on Vvardenfell and the main powerbase of the Tribunal Temple. While some might argue that the city looks pretty boring in all because it is so symmetrical. It must be said that if you would take one canton as something unique you must realise that it looks pretty damn cool. Vivec also houses many awesome stuff like a living god, a moon and the vaults.

Mournhold


"Mournhold. City of light, city of magic."

That one quote there almost says enough. Mournhold is indeed a magical city which you soon realize as it begins to enlighten your thoughts. Yes, Mournhold shows you that all other cities really are crap. After all Mournhold is awesome enough to host an entire expansion.


Cities I am sad not to see: Sotha Sil, Dagon Fel, Ebonheart, Castle Karstaag

Happy voting!


P.S. : Here is an awesome Mournhold 'advertisemant' made by Archmagister Nelacayne.

While you do have all of the major cities, I don't see any towns. :)

My favorite is Gnisis. Out of the major cities, my favorite is Sadrith Mora.

I admit nothing! -_-' And I vote for Balmora.

Oh and since no little towns made it through here, you could always make an own voting for them. :)

It is quite simple.

I make a thread and ask people to send me their nominees and the nominees sent the most get in this poll.
Raven Rock was quite close to making the poll but I believe that Skaal was not even mentioned at all.

Perhaps I should make that clearer next time.
