With seemingly endless news about the Elder Scrolls universe, it’s an exciting time for fans. The launch of Oblivion Remastered has drawn significant attention, with over 120,000 players exploring Cyrodiil. Amidst this fervor, Tamriel Rebuilt (TR), the ambitious Morrowind mega-mod project focused on reconstructing the Morrowind mainland, has teased the upcoming release of its next significant update: Grasping Fortune.
Tamriel Rebuilt Teases “Grasping Fortune”
The initial glimpse of this update surfaced on TR’s Discord server, where a senior developer, Sultan of Rum, shared an intriguing image. This symbol featured scales arranged in a distinctive Morrowind-esque triangle, accompanied by Daedric script, hinting at the forthcoming release. “Coming soon,” the developer teased.
Deciphering the Daedric Message
Driven by curiosity, I embarked on a mission to decipher the Daedric text. Consulting the UESP’s Daedric alphabet page, the message was clearly translated to “Grasping Fortune,” confirming the name of the next TR expansion. A subsequent post on TR’s Bluesky with the hashtag “#GraspingFortune” further solidified the announcement.
Expanding the Morrowind Mainland
The Tamriel Rebuilt team previously announced that “Grasping Fortune” will broaden the accessible mainland territory, stretching to Morrowind’s southwestern border bordering Cyrodiil. This expansion also introduces Narsis, the principal city of Morrowind’s House Hlaalu.
House Hlaalu and Morrowind’s Political Landscape
House Hlaalu distinguishes itself through its emphasis on trade, diplomacy, and alignment with the Imperial presence. This contrasts with other factions like:

- House Telvanni: Known for their affinity for magic and the practice of slavery.
- House Dagoth: Infamous for spreading plagues and pursuing aspirations of world domination.
- House Redoran: Renowned for martial prowess.
Anticipation for Grasping Fortune
The prospect of exploring more of Morrowind’s unique world is exciting. While the release of Oblivion Remastered is very welcome for fans, Morrowind offers unique depth and complexity, and supports TR’s dedication to expanding its content.
As the release of “Grasping Fortune” nears, it will be closely monitored. And when the pull of Cyrodiil wanes, there’s always the option of installing Project Cyrodiil, reimaging TES 4’s Cyrodiil through the unique lens of TES 3, offering a refreshing twist to the familiar province.
