The history of Morrowind dates back to the Merethic Era when both the Dwemer and the Chimer settled the region. Information about the Dwemer's arrival is almost entirely unknown, but the Chimer are a very different story. They were led there by Veloth, who followed Boethiah, Azura, and Mephala, unlike the Orsimer who followed Malacath.
Here the Chimer and Dwemer feuded for decades, until the early Nordic settlers came out of Skyrim and took control of Morrowind, then Dunmereth. In 1E 412, the Chimer and Dwemer united to drive off the human invaders, and named the nation Resdayn. This peace lasted until the War of the First Council.
The Tribunal do not appear in human records until after the first eruption of Red Mountain in Vvardenfell, which resulted in a permanent shift of population south toward the Deshaan Plains. The Tribunal, composed of Vivec, Almalexia, and Sotha Sil, were the advisors of Nerevar Indoril, the first Hortator of the Chimer. They are notable as the immortal gods of the Tribunal Temple, a position to which they ascended using Kagrenac's Tools on the Heart of Lorkhan. Soon, the ancestor worship that had dominated Morrowind since ancient times was overtaken by the monolithic Tribunal Temple, and the worship of the ALMSIVI (ALMalexia, Sotha SIl and VIvec).
Morrowind stayed out of the eye of the rest of the continent for quite some time, except for a few notable episodes, such as the Morag Tong assassination of the last Reman Emperor, which led to the rise of the Akaviri Potentate and the period known as the Interegnum. Morrowind stayed this way until the end of the Second Era, when the new Emperor Tiber Septim set his mind on uniting all of Tamriel. To avoid a costly war, the Tribune Vivec met in secret negotiations with the Emperor, which resulted in Vivec trading the Numidium to the Empire in order for a great deal of independence. Since then, Morrowind has been mostly stable under the stewardship of the humourless and tradition-obsessed Dark Elves, except for an episode involving Dagoth Ur and the fulfillment of the Nerevarine Prophecy.
After this episode, Dagoth Ur, Almalexia, and Sotha Sil were killed. Vivec may or may not still be alive, but this still remains to be confirmed. During this time, Queen Barenziah returned to Morrowind. Her son, Helseth, was made the new King of Morrowind after the sudden death of King Llethan. Helseth outlawed slavery, and reformed the Grand Council, which includes the heads of all great houses. The Great Houses themselves are adjusting to the new powers in the land. Some, like Dres and Hlaalu, appear to be on the rise, reembracing the new traditions while welcoming the return of the old. Others, such as Indoril and Redoran, seem to be waning, unable to change with the times.
Another major event in Morrowind history was The Imperial Invasion of Morrowind.
