Good DaedraGood DaedraThe → Temple says that Boethiah, Mephala, and Azura, the Anticipations, also called the GoodDaedra, are loyal friends of the Tribunal. Malacath, Mehrunes Dagon, Molag Bal, and →Sheogorath, the → Four Corners of the House of Trouble, also called the → Bad Daedra, areinconstant, rebellious, and unreliable, and ever eager to seduce the faithful into sin and profaneworship. The loyal Three Good Daedra, knowing the tricks of their rebellious kin, help theTribunal frustrate the devious schemes of the Bad Daedra.Lit.: Darkest Darkness (TEST I 2 : 325). The Anticipations (TEST I 2 : 902).Grahl"We do not know what they really are. Perhaps an evil spirit, perhaps a great beast. Whatever theyare, they are dangerous. Their claws and tusks rend armor and tear flesh. They will attack alone orin packs. Take care when they are near."GravedustGravedust is spirit−affinitive dust taken from remains buried in consecrated ground.GrazelandsThe regular rain and dark soils of the Grazelands produce the rich grazing for → Ashlander herdsthat gives the region its name. The region lies in the northeast of → Vvardenfell, sandwichedbetween the → Ashlands and → Azura's Coast. Permanent settlements include → Vos village andthe towers of → Tel Vos and → Tel Fyr. The Ashlanders of → Zainab camp move their herdsacross the plains in search of fresh grazing. There are no roads or tracks, but travel is easy acrossthe open plains.There're many tombs, ruins, and lairs in the Grazelands to the south and west. They're often marked by a clump ofrocks or trees at the entrance.Great BazaarSee → Mournhold.Great HousesIn modern times → Morrowind is ruled by five Great Houses: House → Hlaalu, House →Redoran, House → Telvanni, House → Indoril, and House → Dres. The Great Houses traditionsderive from ancient → Dunmer clan and tribes, but now function as political parties. Great Housesculture is partly defined by its roots in ancient Dunmer tribal clans, and partly by later Imperialinfluences from other Western cultures. Dunmer Great House membership is largely a matter ofbirth and marriage, but → Imperial colonists may also become retainers of a Great House, or maybe adopted into a Great House. The clan and family structures of the Dunmer Great House systemare strong forces for social and political stability. Three of these Great Houses have territorialinterests on → Vvardenfell; the other two, Dres and Indoril, are not represented on Vvardenfell.95
