I wish I knew something about Morrowind. It looked like an interesting roleplay.
Basically, Morrowind is a very large island county (continent?). It is commonly referred to by the Natives (The Dark Elves, or Dummner) as Vardenfell.
Recently, the Human Empire, under the control of the Imperial Emperor Uriel Septim VI, have signed an armistice, claiming that the country is now under Empire control, while the natives get to keep many of their customs.
Vardenfall is led by a few Great Houses.
Great House Redoran- A traditionalist house against Imperial rule, they believe in a strict code of honor. Their members are brave warriors and are dedicated to the Temple and Morrowind.
Great House Telvanni- A house of stuck egotistical mages, they are the most traditionalist Great house. Their goal is to be merely left to their own devices, with the Telvanni in politics, they wish to control as much of Morrowind as possible
Great House Haalu- The most powerful Great House in Morrowind (right now anyways) They are very pro Imperial, and such, gained the most power when the Empire took ownership of Morrowind. Their provinces are the most friendly to foreigners and attempt to mix traditionalist values with Imperial values.
Indoril- A relativly small Great House, their members are zealously devoted to the Temple, their members make up the largest part of the Temple Ordinators (Temple guards aka paladins)
(if you google the morrowind map you can find every city and landmark that's named on the map. And a few not named)
