The Province: Cyrodiil Team is proud to present the second release in our efforts at bringing the province of Cyrodiil to the world of TESIII: Morrowind. Beneath the surface of the waves, the lightless ocean floor awaits those brave enough to explore its hidden depths. Near the island's center one can find ancient Colovian barrows where the saints and heroes of the Cyrod lie buried, their contents undisturbed since the days of Rislav Larich. To the north lie the white ruins of Wormusoel, an ancient Ayleid fortress said to be connected to other places on the island through hidden tunnels. Outside the town lies the island itself, a hilly wilderness consisting of thick undergrowth, lonely beaches and tall, twisted trees. Each of the three rulers eyes the other with suspicion, and it's no secret among the locals that a conflict is brewing. Formerly ruled by Baron Helvor, an heir of the old Colo-Nordic dynasties, the island is now under the control of an avaricious Heartlands merchant-prince, and a Prefect of the Empire's growing bureaucracy.
Though poor and provincial compared to the mighty cities of Cyrodiil, the island thrives on passing trade and the rich fishing grounds that surround it. Set almost exactly between the great ports of Cyrodiil, Hammerfell, Valenwood and Summerset, the isle of Stirk offers a safe harbor to the many trade ships that sail on the wide Abecean Sea.
