We lately had a disagreement with Coh about the name of a Great House. He said it's Hlaatu, I said it's Hlaalu. He claimed Hlaalu was a noble's name who lived in Balmora. Very true. But it's also the Great House's name. This quote is from the Imperial Library site that lists all Morrowind ingame books and their textst.

Mistress Velanda Omani, by Grace of Almsivi, Honored Councilor of Hlaalu Council, Vvardenfell District, Free Trader, Lord of Omani Plantation, Elmas Island, East Vivec, District of Vvardenfell, Province of Morrowind

Master Dram Bero, by Grace of Almsivi, Honored Councilor of Hlaalu Council, Vvardenfell District, Free Trader, Gentleman of No Fixed Residence, Vivec, District of Vvardenfell, Province of Morrowind

The Yellow Book of Great House Hlaalu, extract

There

It cannot be seen, it cannot be felt,
Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt.
It lies behind stars and under hills,
And empty holes it fills.
It comes first and follows after,
Ends life, kills laughter.

-J.R.R. Tolkien, "The Hobbit"

And don't forget all those facinating articles from several notable scholars within the online morrowind community. The Imperial Libraries, the definative source for all things Morrowind, Redguard, Battlespire, Daggerfall, and Arena.
-sponsored by Leo Melikian, unofficial spokesman for the Imperial Library website.

Anywho, I'm not really sure right now. I'm so confused!

This game really has tough names. For example, I thought for like a millennia that Sadrith Mora was SARDTIH Mora. It sounded more logical somehow...

lol ;D
Same for me and Seyda neen. I read the name off the paper map, and because of a small tear around the town I thought it read SAYBA KEEM, which seemed rather odd for an imperial town. Seemed kind of out of place somehow.

I had the same problem with Sadrith Mora, Shadow.

And I thought it till... *counts* ...um I really don't know, but it was a LONG time. And all those Dark Elfs' names, ough they are so confusing! There is only one name that I can't forget: Percius Mercius. ;D

Cause if you can, you're far better than me...

I do fine with ashlander names, I would write the guy from the Halfway Tavern, but I don't remeber his name.
	I am never alone, there is always that shadow speaking to me. It tells me that it seeks not to be frightened, it doesn't wish to hurt me. I try to change its mind, it won't listen. I am scared of it. Please help me, before it one day consumes me and my former being is gone. This shadow is me.
