morrowind | 1
I'm starting a new morrowind playthrough, this time with one main goal: to explore the new stuff in the latest #TamrielRebuilt update!
I've had TR installed in all of my playthroughs for the last few years, but I've never actually visited it properly...

A thick fog descended over the bitter coast at night, making travel treacherous. Even in the early morning light, it is still difficult to see much...
re: morrowind | 6 (cw: religion (general))
now I get to have a conversation with my favourite Balmora resident: Hul.
She's an argonian pauper, and I've always felt a kinship to her.
Something I've been reminded of is that this game refers to the religion of the empire as "The Imperial Cult".
Unlike Oblivion and Skyrim, which just refer to it as the "Church" or as the "Eight divines/Nine divines", in the morrowind province it's a foreign religion that is less commonly followed.

I think it's a really cool piece of worldbuilding, that the empire's religion is called a "cult", in the same way that Daedra worshippers are part of a "daedric cult".
Especially in contrast to the primary Dunmer religion, which is referred to as "the temple" or "the tribunal temple".

Ah wonderful old balmora...
And with Arkngthand looming in the distance, inspiring adventure but also peril...
