This glossary of Morrowind terminology is designed to help players new to modding the game.
Rules for adding content:
- Focus is on helping players, not modders! Terms that are likely to only be useful for modders should probably go to the Glossary at TESCS Wiki.
- Acronym expansions should go to Acronyms. However, some acronyms that are used also commonly used as terms can be put on both pages.
- Mods should not be listed here.
- Don't use evaluative terms like "popular". If it's not reasonably popular, then it shouldn't be here.
- Sort alphabetically (alpha by acronym, not by full name).
- Keep descriptions short. (One to three short sentences in almost all cases.) Link to other pages/sites as appropriate.
