In the graphic below, you an see Vvardenfell in the upper center of the map. But the original goal of the game was to create something far larger that what was eventually shipped.Īs the Tamriel Rebuilt team’s about page explains, the goal was for the landmass of Morrowind to include a massive U-shaped chunk of land surrounding the central island of Vvardenfell.

Thanks to the efforts of this dedicated team, more than 16 years after the original title there’s more adventures to be had than ever before.įans may know Morrowind as a game that takes place on Vvardenfell, an exotic volcanic island filled with warriors clad in bone armor, massive insects that ferry commuters around, and reclusive wizards who make their homes inside giant mushrooms. The mod, called Tamriel Rebuilt, seeks to recreate the original design first envisioned by the team at Bethesda Softworks.

One effort, which began before the game was even released in May 2002, just issued a major new update. The legendary open-world role-playing game, The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind, is still being updated by fans.
