The Elder Scrolls: Tamriel

Set in the rugged mountains southeast of Windhelm, the Eastmarch Morrowind Border Gate marks the threshold between Skyrim and Morrowind, a heavily guarded checkpoint where stone and steel meet snow and ash. The gate is flanked by Nordic towers and spiked barricades, with guards ever watchful for smugglers, fugitives, or refugees attempting to cross the hostile, often treacherous terrain. Once a remote and seldom-used crossing, the gate grew in importance after the Red Year, when waves of Dunmer refugees fled into Skyrim seeking safety. Now, it serves as both a political boundary and a symbol of the uneasy tension between the Nords and their dark elven neighbors. The Eastmarch Morrowind Border Gate is not just a border—it’s a scar between provinces, where history, hardship, and distrust still linger in the cold mountain air.
