What are the "Official" colours of the Dunmer Houses?

Post » Tue May 17, 2011 12:36 pm

I've been looking around at various lore sites and libraries, and found information on a few of the cvolours of the houses. however, it could not hurt to ask here to find either definitive answers, or at least a spot on approximation :). This will help me out greatly, as I am putting together something that would benefit from this knowledge. Thank you for any and all help :).

Take Care :angel:

Indoril - white
Telvanni - brown
Hlaalu - yellow
Redoran - red
Dres - blue
Dagoth - I can't remember/I have no idea

The Imperial library and in-game resources are easy to find (you can find all relevant links in stickies at the top of Lore page).

For some reason, I want to say purple for Dagoth.

Note that this is plain assumption more than anything, but may -- MAY -- be in some source somewhere. I feel like I've read it somewhere.

Judging from their deco, Dagoth was red, too. A richer, deeper red, though. Redoran is a bit desaturated. Heh, it's more like red-orange. Anyway, House Dagoth doesn't matter anymore.

What are the sources for the colours of Dres and Indoril? As far as I know only the colors of Hlaalu, Redoran and Telvanni are ever mentioned.

Ironic that you ask that question when the quote you used directs you to your answer.

Can you point to any individual books, instead of a complete website?
I've looked at all mentions of Indoril or Drs in the ingame dialogue. I've also looked at all books that mention House Indoril or Dres.

The only thing I've found so far is this map: http://www.imperial-library.info/maps/concept_morrowind.jpg
While it depicts Indoril as white and Dres as sort of Blue-sh, it also depicts Telvanni as red and Redoran as orange.

Strange, seeing as I followed the exact instructions of the quoted text and found out that Dres' house color is indeed blue.

I'll kindly ask you to just look at the info in the stickies; seek the relevant section out and you'll find it.

Well, Blackwind's article says that Dres' colour is grey. But seeing that the rest of the article is mostly fanfiction I think we can safely ignore it.

The major books that mention Dres are "Great Houses of Morrowind" , "On Morrowind" , "Last Scabbard of Akrash" , "Game at Dinner" and the PGE1 and PGe3.


No mention of any blue color.

You were faster, I've also found Black wind's article and connection with gray. That's new for me too.
I am still very sure about Dres and Indoril colors, I shall try to find some proof soon.

Tamriel Rebuilt uses the color scheme you mentioned, but that's about all I can find.

Neither do the Indoril... now that the three are gone...
Or the two.

Indoril and Redoran aren't completely gone, just very weakened, the latter by Nord and Daedra attacks, the former by huge loss of prestige and political influence.

That, and they're not on Vvardenfell, but the Mainland.

I'm quite sure the Redoran are on Vvardenfell as well.

Yeah, just because Ald'ruhn has fallen doesn't mean that Redoran's other Vvardenfell holdings have bitten the dust as well. Maar Gan, Ald Velothi, and Khuul might still be up and kickin' (albeit small). I'm sure that having a foothold in Vvardenfell (at least for the purposes of retreat) is very important to the warrior-house, especially considering their current position with the Nords.
