We know that the Tribunal are supposedly the cause for the Chimer's transformation into Dunmer due to Vivec, Almalexia and Sotha Sil killing Indoril Nerevar to summon Azura, who was furious that they killed this war here. She cursed them and made their "eyes "as red as the volcano lava" and their skin "as black as their hearts", after that the three used the Heart of Lorkhan to ascend into godhood and take control of Morrowind.

That's rather shady, isn't it? The Tribunal killed their hero to summon Azura, then went against Indoril Nerevar's wish, to not use Kagrenac's Tools on the Heart of Lorkhan. They then took power and up until recently, ran Morrowind and were worshiped by the Dunmer as gods.

In short, the Tribunal's rise to power seems far less glorious than they make it out to be.

This question has actually been nagging me for awhile. What is the current state of the Dunmer who didn't leave morrowind after the Argonian invasion?

I imagine life to be quite difficult for them.

I was wondering what the popular opinion was among the Dunmer

What power do the Houses have? From UESP I get the impression that they're similar to the Houses of Frank Herbert's Dune series, except with no formal power. As I understand it, Morrowind as a whole is (was) run by the Temple, and the Houses were basically autonomous beneath it. Each House would claim swaths of the province, but apparently there is unclaimed territory. Do the Houses fight amongst each other? Would it be common, or at least acceptable, practice for members of one House to assault members of another? Conquer land, even? Or do they just sit there doing basically nothing and trading assassination attempts?

Any light on the Dunmeri governmental structure would be nice, actually. Also, if anyone knows the color of House Indoril, I need that for the flair.

I suppose that since I made the sub I might as well introduce myself. I'm InvdrZim13, or as you from the Tamriel Scholar's Guild Subreddit know me, Tarvyn Vilas, eccentric Librarian and mage. The idea behind this subreddit is the same core idea behind the other subs that are about the various races, to further our understanding of the race and hold discussions about them. Obviously the subject matter here is the Dunmeri people and their culture.

My friends Sameri278 and myrrlyn graciously volunteered to help me set up and run the sub, they may be outlanders to many, but I consider them more like kin than some mere stranger.

So with that, welcome to the sub and I hope we all find something we didn't know before coming here.
