Morrowind biomes & weather conditions 1/5 ➵ ashlands and ashstorms

The Ashlands are the dry and inhospitable areas surrounding Red Mountain to the north and west. The Ashlands are inhospitable to most life, but some creatures have managed to adapt to the harsh terrain and climate. These include mainly Guars, Nix-Hounds, Cliff Racers, and Alit. Some plants, like the Trama Root and Ash Yam, manage to flourish in this desolate area. Nomad, known as Ashlanders also call this region home. Hazardous ash storms are frequent due to Red Mountain's volcanic activity. Blight is common in this region. The Ashblight emanates from Red Mountain in the form of Ashstorms. These storms are reddish dust storms that carry the blight and have extremely high winds associated with them.

Morrowind biomes & weather conditions 2/5 ➵ west gash and rain

The West Gash is the area of western highlands stretching from the Sea of Ghosts to the city of Balmora. It was created in the battle between Vivec, the Warrior-Poet, and the Ruddy Man. The region gets its name from the fact that it cuts or gashes deep into the area in between the Bitter Coast and Molag Amur. The Hlaalu district seat of Balmora is here, as is the Imperial town of Caldera, the mining village of Gnisis, and the fishing villages of Ald Velothi and Khuul. Vegetation in the region is sparse, but hardy. Common plants are kreshweed, roobrush, and chokeweed. The region is very fertile, north towards the Samsi River are large fungal trees with open areas of fresh grazelands, several creatures such as the Nix-Ox and the Bull Netch thrive in the area. The southern area has the potential of being volcanic since it is not far from the volcanic Molag Amur and the Foyada Mamaea. The northern area has the same issue, being very close to the local Ashlands and as a result, closer to Red Mountain.
