Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind – Ancestral Tomb Quest Guide

One of the more enjoyable quests in ESO: Morrowind involves tracking down the ancestral tombs of several prominent Dark Elf houses. It’s a fun little side adventure, but it can be time-consuming—especially since the tombs aren’t always easy to locate.

I originally looked up some maps to help, and while I found one that was okay, the markings were vague and only labeled with numbers. So I decided to create my own list with better descriptions (minus a map for now—I didn’t think of that until after the fact). I also pulled some helpful details from one of my favorite ESO resources, the UESP Wiki.
