Almas Thirr is a large Tribunal Temple city and pilgrimage site spanning the Thirr River in the Aanthirin region. The city connects Indoril lands to Hlaalu, and harbors the only road linking western Morrowind to east anywhere north of farflung Narsis.
The great canton itself was built on Veloth's Path, the route that Saint Veloth is supposed to have taken through Morrowind. It is Temple-owned, and takes a toll from ships passing through it north and south along the river. One such ship, the Glinting Moth, is docked by the Hall of Tribute at the time of your arrival. With numerous ships and pilgrims passing through, Almas Thirr is a source of some wealth for the Temple, which finds itself in the middle of rising tensions between Great House Hlaalu and Great House Indoril. The canton's administrator, the Majordomo Andor Orothi, is determined to keep the Temple's neutrality (and Almas Thirr's independence) intact.
City TensionsEdit
The Indoril once owned the territory on the west bank of the Thirr, as numerous ruins can attest to. The current lord of Roa Dyr, Indoril Ilvi, is suspected by some of desiring the return of these lands from the expansionist Hlaalu. The Temple in Almas Thirr professes neutrality, but the truth is more complicated. The Indoril are tightly intertwined with the Temple, and Indoril Ilvi is permitted to maintain a garrison of his soldiers on the eastern bank. A noble of the Indoril, Ildari Dorvi, is a good friend of the Majordomo and can be found petitioning him in his office.
The Hlaalu for their part seem to be making good use of agents and spies within the city - for example, by supposedly selling agents as 'slaves' to the Indoril east of the river. In the meantime, notables such as Avon Hlaalu visit the city on more public missions - such as persuading the Majordomo to loosen regulations on Hlaalu trade traveling up and down the river.
ServicesEdit
The city is well-served by prosperous merchants, sitting as it does on the only road crossing the Thirr. Those with more meager wares can be found manning market stalls on the western bridge, and there are plentiful store owners both outside the canton and within it. The guildhalls and their associated services can be found on the city's western side. Rooms can be rented at various locales, including the Limping Scrib, the pilgrim-oriented Hostel of the Crossing and the Thirsty Saint Cornerclub.
Getting There and AroundEdit
The Silt Strider can take you here from the Indoril-aligned fishing town of Aimrah or the punavit-brewing settlement of Vhul. A boat on the western edge of the canton can take you to the Hlaalu town of Indal-ruhn or the Imperial city of Old Ebonheart.
Places of Interest Around Almas ThirrEdit
Veloth's Path runs west to east through Almas Thirr, and following it east will lead to the beautiful Indoril chapel of Roa Dyr, home to Indoril Ilvi. To the north, past the wreck of the Andresian Dreugh immediately adjacent to the canton, stands the Daedric Shrine of Hadrumnibibi, rumored to be newly occupied by cultists of Malacath. To the northwest are the vast fields of the Oran Plantation, pockmarked with caves on the coast, while to the southwest, the Dwemer ruin of Bthungtch can be found.
PeopleEdit
The Majordomo of the Crossing, Andor Orothi, asides from being one rank below the Patriarch in Necrom, governs Almas Thirr on behalf of the Temple, and can be found in the Office of Intercession.
