![]() Silyanorn was the focal point of a conflict known as the War for Silyanorn, which involved the First Empire and even Great House Indoril of Morrowind. However, that does not mean the Empire had left the city all by their lonesome. The tribes were very far removed from their brethren in the west and managed to avoid the Alessian Slave Rebellion that occurred a few years later. Prior to Silyanorn's founding, there was an enormous battle between the Ayleids and the Argonians for control of the region. Stormhold began as the Ayleid city of Silyanorn, founded by the Barsaebic Ayleid tribes that were exiled from Cyrodiil after the Narfinsel Schism ended in 1E 198. Stormhold is neighbored by several settlements, including Rockguard to the northwest, Tenmar Wall to the east, and Morrowind to the north, towards Narsis. They contain a variety of magical properties, enough for them to be heavily exploited by the Warden, Quintus Varus. Underneath the city is sunken ruins used as an outlaw refuge and an expansive system of tunnels that contains rare crystals aptly named Stormhold Crystals. ![]() There is a common exclamation, "Host of Stormhold," which is used across Black Marsh. The local Hist Tree of Stormhold is located in the town square, in the middle of a pond, surrounded by ancient pillars, broken arches, and a small stone wall that circles around it. In the time when the Dark Elves took control of Stormhold, they fully refurbished the site with proper stone roads, light posts, and long wooden bridges. Even though the town uses both the stone, ornate architecture of the Dark Elves and the large mud huts of the Argonians, the local populous utilize the abandoned compound for a variety of services, such as the town's mortuary or for their spacious guild halls. Silyanorn was built on the side of a mountain, around a waterfall that flows into the rest of the settlement. Much of the city is built on top of the old Ayleid ruins and wide-open mounds surrounded by ravines. But even though the river is practically outside of the city walls, the land around Stormhold is sunken marshes and crocodile-infested ravines with shallow waters. Stormhold is located near the banks of a mighty river that forms the provincial border between the primordial morass of Black Marsh and the scenic grazelands of Morrowind. ![]()
