Land ownership

[final reclaimer]

i only remember the outlines of the government of Morrowind, though if i am wrong fell free to correct me.

Morrowind is largely self-governing, though only a province. And with the new King, as a supporter of the Imperials, wouldn't that lead to a largely inter-connected government?

I don't know much about the subject, but if Morrowind is still self-governing they would have many traditional roles at work in their government. But with the Imperials in power, they would have a new, unique government, one with a Dunmer governing system AND a form of Imperial-represented government, as seen in the Dukes, for example.

There isn't really a clear-cut guide to Morrowinds politics in the time of TES IV that I know of, but that makes sense to me.

Morrowind's always been having Kings, since the Empire came around. It's just that they were disregarded as puppets.

I believe that every piece of land is distributed amongst the great houses.

Remember in Morrowind, the dispute between whether Caldera belonged to Hlaalu or Redoran? I'd expect that counts are the way Cyrodil works, and not necessarily Morrowind. If you looked at the map of Vvardenfell, you'd see that all the Hlaalu are generally in the south-west, Redoran in the north west, and Telvanni all in the east. The Great Houses are probably the Morrowind equivilant of counties, and thus I think each baron should represent either one of the Great Houses or the Empire.

I think it's more like this:
Grand Councillor (head of the Grand Council, of course; controls the whole of Morrowind)
High Councillor (head of the House; controls his House and its land) (I'm not really sure about the name "High Councillor")
Councillor (controls an area of a House's land)
Hetman (controls a village, like the Hetman of Gnisis)

That sounds like it. High Councilor was a different name for each house though:

Hlaalu: Grandmaster

Redoran: Archmaster

Telvanni: Archmagister


Grand Councilor would be the Duke...

I didn't want to have to say the individual titles of each House's leader, so I just called it "High Councillor" as a generalization. As for the Grand Councillor-Duke thing... the Grand Council was stopped until recently. The Imperials renamed the title of Grand Councillor to "Duke", apparently.

Lots of quotes...

Alright, I think the councilors each had control of a city.

In house Telvanni, they were called magisters (I think)

As for Dres and Indoril, I have no idea. I think it'd be fair to say Indoril has Mournhold as a council seat, and Dres has Necrom? Or is that too far north?

[Axen]

Necrom? Dres? No. Necrom belongs to the Temple. And it starts with "necro" for a reason: it's a huge catacomb.
I think Dres' seat is Tear. Could be wrong, though.

[TheImperialDragon]

Do you know the names of the leaders of each house? Grand chancelor maybe for Dres?

off on a side note: doesn't caldera have a governor? where does that fit in the Imperial Heirarchy? would that be a count under the TES IV mod?
