Blacklight is a major Redoran city on the northwestern coast of mainland Morrowind, close to the border of Skyrim. It was once home to a gladiatorial team known as the Dark Knights.[OOG 1] Across the Inner Sea to the northeast is the island of Solstheim, to the south are the Western Highlands and a good road west connects through the Dunmeth Pass to the Nord city of Windhelm.
During Tiber Septim's campaign to conquer Morrowind, he used the area west of Blacklight as a staging ground due to the relatively weak Dunmer defenses here.[1] Blacklight is further mentioned in the books on King Edward. Blacklight remained standing following the catastrophes of the Red Year; in fact, it became the new capital of Morrowind after the Argonians sacked the former capital, Mournhold.[2] The Council of Great Houses meets there at the Rootspire.[3] House Redoran has substantially improved the city over the Third and Fourth Eras, and its grandeur is said to rival Mournhold at its peak.[3]
