Random Ashlander/Morrowind thing

While playing the Ashlander relic sidequests I was hit with that random melancholy feeling; knowing the event of the following games I can't help but cry out internally "YES!! When will the old tribes revive and the pacts be made once moar!!!!"

The dramatic irony of Drelyth Hleran's promise not to displace the Ashlanders is one of my preferred features of the Morrowind chapter.

Remember how much time passes between ESO and Morrowind, though. 3000 years is a LONG time, a lot can happen.

For us, that would be 1000 BC (roughly). That's the era of the ASSYRIANS and King David, King Solomon and the like. ANCIENT times.

It's only 800 years.

It's a great tie-in with the Balmora questline too, where we find out what some Redoran Councilors really think of Ashlanders. ZOS did a great job of setting up the founding on Ald'ruhn in ESO.

aw, and correct me if I not understanding. Is there a schism between St Veloth's values and the Tribunal? Namely, does the Tribunal see the Ashlanders as heathens overall even though the Ashlanders (and really the Tribunal also if they recognize Veloth; it's not like they excommunicated the name like the Sixth House has been) should recognize the pact that was made?

True but its still medieval time, or the last time Great Britain was invaded successfully.
Yes the last 3 centuries has been hectic, but 600 bc and 200 ad is the rise of Rome from an city to an major empire.

and that chunk of retribution hanging over Vivec City is like Vivec dropped his proverbial (thank you) contact lens and is shouting "STOP! Nobody move!" while he holds it fast and that's the real Dragonbreak.

Seriously, that's fairly accurate for the era though. For instance Sheogorath's antics are still pretty much early mischief (spoilers): Stibbons' new permanent employment and pestering Shalidor like the new kid XD

I never played Morrowind but this topic got me to start reading a lot of Vvardenfell lore. Interesting stuff.
