Hi, I'm writing an essay on imperialism and different representations of the Imperials in different games, and I need to know a little bit more about what exactly the Imperials were doing in Morrowind during the game Morrowind (3E 427).

How exactly did the Dunmer respond to Imperialism in Morrowind? It seems to me that they felt somewhat helpless to it. Exactly how forceful was the Imperial takeover of Morrowind's government, property etc?

It is clear to me that one thing the Imperials wanted from Morrowind was its resources. Caldera, for instance is a mining town that mines ebony ore from the nearby area. How much did the Imperial economy rely on these kinds of things? Where and to whom was the ebony sold?

Any help would be greatly appreciated! And, of course, you'll be thanked in the essay.
