Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind has this nifty little quest you can do where you find the ancestral tombs of some of the better known dark elf houses. It’s fun, but it takes time and the tombs aren’t always the easiest to find. I looked up some maps to try to find them, and I found one map that was pretty decent, but it only gave numbers and was the mark on the map was vague. So I decided to do my own thing (minus a map, for now … bc I didn’t even think about that until after the fact).

I added some more descriptive info from one of my favorite ‘go to’ sites for ESO info. I noticed that I had used short descriptors and anyone, besides myself, might not be able to decipher what I had written … 🙂

The place where I got help finding the tombs was the UESP Wiki. It’s a really awesome site, especially if you need helping finding lorebooks, treasure maps, the tombs (of course), along with some guides.
