Just a question, whats been going on in Mournhold since the Nerevarine killed Almalexia?? Also was it attacked during the oblivion crisis and how is it fairing during this whole Aldmeri Dominion bull that is going on?? I don't think theres been any talk about it, at least nothing i seen I liked that city the architecture was amazing, just wish the city was bigger

Choked in ash following the impact of the Ministry of Truth onto Vivec City and the subsequent eruption of Red Mountain, invaded by Argonians shortly afterward. It's recovering, though, some npc's in Skyrim make mention of returning there.

Thanks i never knew that

Mournhold still exists. Tythis in Riften mentions it -- though that's unclear if it was rebuilt or if it survived the Red Year.

Do we even know for sure the Saxhleel got that far into Morrowind?

The Argonians went all the way to Vvardenfell, hitting Mournhold would have been child's play for their invasion force.

Ugh. Argonians in the sewers still, i bet. Old mournhold must be teeming with the damn things. Ugh.

Whether or not the city fell includes numerous variables, including, but not limited to:

-Whether the collapse of the Tribunal and subsequent fall of House Indoril disbanded the High Ordinators,
-Helseth's reaction to the invasion (or whether he fled -- he has a mage that can teleport people in his foyer, and, although that mage is an Argonian, that mage dresses and speaks like an Imperial)
-The actual strength of the Royal Guard (they are immensely strong in-game),
-The city's defensibility (it's walled, unlike many Dunmer cities),
-Whether the Argonians attacked the city in the first place.

Whatever happened, it's standing by Skyrim's time: "I'm beginning to think leaving Mournhold was a mistake" -- you don't say that if you left it because it was destroyed; diction implies short time frame. Also, "...head to one of the capital cities... maybe even back to Mournhold..."

Her hands were purportedly the most fearsome warriors in Tamriel, but this power was Ayem's blessing. Not sure whether her death stripped them of this power, but if they were in the city, it's a fair bet that Almalexia City put up a Hell of a fight.

Her death didn't strip them of their power. Almalexia gives you two blessings, which don't vanish once you kill her, and the stats of the Hands of Almalexia don't decrease after she dies.
