asta MORROWIN])n January of 1997, four artists locked themselves in a room to lay the foundation for the third I chapter in the Elder Scrolls series. Knowing that the game would be set in the dark and exotic land of Morrowind, they set aut to discover what a Dark Elf would look like, The initial Dark Elf look emerged aver the next month, and the project was put on hold due to its massive scope. In January of 1999, the staff once again met in this room, which had become known as “The War Room.” This was the place where the entire team would meet through the next year to discuss what the game was going to be, how it was going to play, and what it would look like. The walls slowly filled with exotic imagery of the land of Morrowind, its peoples, and places. Through this special book, we hope to share with you the images that lined our walls and defined our game. We strove to create another world that would come alive on the screen, another world ZA Todd Howard, Project Leader for you to live and lose yourself in First concept images of the Dark Elf, 1997. | Il The face texture actually appears in the final game,THE ART OF MORROWIND 91-08 | Sketches of game elements to be used I screenshots, | and the resulting shots.Screenshots from prototype | 09-14 movie created to capture the look of the game and the movement of the interface,THE ART OF MORROWIND as 6 " Skylamps along Dagoth-Ur Dunmer Stronghold Dwarven Ruin houseGhostgate ‘The Ghastfence Holamayan ae » IsTHE ART OF MORROWIND —_.
