Districts and Places

Balmora is the district seat of House Hlaalu. It is one of the largest cities in all of Vvardenfell. This is where most people go to join the guilds in Morrowind. The city consists of four main districts: High Town, the Commercial District, Labor Town, and Moonmoth Legion Fort.

Balmora is divided into four districts. The first one, Hight Town, is where the rich people live. It is on a hill to the west. It has the best manors, the Tribunal Temple, the Hlaalu Council Hall, the Morag Tong guildhall, one of the best clothiers in the entire game, the Fine Alchemist shop where you can buy complete set of Master's apparatus (which also restock), and both a Master's and a Grandmaster's Mortar & Pestle.

The second district, the Commercial District, is west of the river, and is centered on the large plaza just north of South Gate, with the silt strider port along the south wall, east of South Gate. The Fighters Guild, Mages Guild, the pawnbroker, a bookseller, an armorer, the Razor Hole, the Council Club, the Eight Plates, and Lucky Lockup are found here.

The third district, Labor Town is where the poor people live. It is located east of the river. Here you can find the Southwall Corner Club where the Thieves guild operates, in Balmora. Besides that, there are a lot of houses here.

The fourth and final district is the Moonmoth Legion Fort. It is southeast of town, and houses the Imperial Legion garrison and the Imperial Cult.
