"The Sixth House was not dead, but only sleeping. Now it wakes from its long dream, and with its Lord, Dagoth Ur, it comes forth to free Morrowind of foreign rulers and divine pretenders. When the land is swept clean of false friends and greedy thieves, the children of Veloth will build anew a garden of plenty in this blighted wasteland." -- Dagoth Gares
Following the War of the First Council, Dagoth Ur remained alive, immortal, hidden beneath Red Mountain in spite of the Tribunal. The Ghostfence kept trapped his Blighted hosts, and though ash storms were commonplace in parts of Vvardenfell, the Blight storms were contained.
Many centuries have now passed since the destruction of the House Dagoth, and the world is changing. Vehk's power wanes, and as the Ghostfence weakens, the Blight is bleeding through the fault lines. Dreamers fill the ranks of Red Mountain and its outposts. Sleepers await the coming of his glory. And now at thiis fated hour, an outlander has emerged, thought by some to be the reincarnation of Lord Nerever Indoril himself.
The Ghostfence will fall, the Blight will spread, and the sleeping House will rise again to cast down the False Gods and foreign rulers.
