The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind® Game of the Year Edition guide · Arrival in Vvardenfell

Seyda Neen is the port town on the southern coast of Vvardenfell where the player character arrives by prison ship. You complete character creation in the Census and Excise office before being released into the settlement. In town, you can take on initial quests, buy basic starting gear, and make travel arrangements to Balmora.

Secrets

0/2

There is an iron shardaxe and a pouch of gold tucked into a hollow tree stump in the water directly behind the Census and Excise Office courtyard.Returning the Engraved Ring of Healing to Fargoth earns his gratitude, allowing you to later spy on him from atop the lighthouse at night to locate his hidden stash in the town pool.

Docile creature found along the shores that attacks if approached too closely.

Small Kwama Forager

Weak pest found roaming the swamps outside town.

Arrille's Tradehouse: general goods, weapons, armor, spells, potions, lockpicks, and room rental
Darvame Hlaren (Silt Strider): public transportation to Balmora, Gnisis, Vivec, and Suran

Tips

Stealing the limeware platter off the shelves during character creation yields high starting gold if you drop it before the guard confronts you and then pick it back up.
Giving Fargoth his ring back raises Arrille's disposition toward you, which significantly lowers store prices at the tradehouse.
Using the Scroll of Icarian Flight increases your Acrobatics by 1000 points, but it will cause lethal fall damage upon landing unless you cast a Slowfall effect or land in deep water.
