The Elder Scrolls III: Bloodmoon is the second expansion pack for Bethesda

Softworks's The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, and is included in the Game of the
Year edition, along with Tribunal.

Contents[show]
Comparisons with other games
Unlike the first expansion Tribunal, which added a city separate from the world map
consisting of interior cells, Bloodmoon adds a large new island to the original
world map, a cold northern territory named Solstheim. Rather than the Dunmer (dark
elves) that are the indigenous race in nearby Morrowind, Solstheim is populated
largely by the Nords. This is largely due to the fact that the island sits more or
less astride the border between Morrowind and the Nord homeland of Skyrim.

Additions
This expansion adds new enemies, the East Empire Company as a joinable faction, and
the possibility to become a werewolf, akin to the inclusion of vampires seen in
Morrowind. Bloodmoon also uses larger and more detailed environments, including
snowfall, thus raising the computer hardware requirements, though the ash storms of
the original game are much harder on computers than the snow of Bloodmoon.

As with Morrowind and Tribunal, Bloodmoon has many side-quests to finish and many
delves to explore aside from its main quest. Unlike Tribunal, which is intended to
be played after the completion of Morrowind's main quest, Bloodmoon's main quest is
self-contained within the expansion. Also unlike Tribunal, the new area is a lot
more open, consisting of many new areas, towns, caves, ruins and the like.

A number of new armor and weapon types have also been added, as well as the
addition of hundreds of new detailed models unique to this expansion.

Storyline
In the Bloodmoon main quest, the Nerevarine starts by doing odd jobs for the
Imperials' Fort Frostmoth on Solstheim. When the fort is attacked by werewolves,
the Nerevarine must travel to the Nord village of the Skaal at the north of the
island. The Nerevarine must then perform several rituals to be accepted into the
village. Afterwards, knowledge of the Bloodmoon Prophecy, a ritualistic hunt led by
the Daedric Lord Hircine, is revealed. The Daedric Prince takes the four greatest
champions on Solstheim, including the Nerevarine, to his glacier home. He tells
them that they must fight until only one is still living; if the Nerevarine
survives, they must fight one of Hircine's aspects � strength (a bear), speed (an
elk), or guile (where Hircine fights in his own form). The main quest is completed
once the battle is won and the glacier home is fled.

Trivia
This is the one of two expansion packs/DLCs to take place in Solstheim, the second
being The Elder Scrolls V: Dragonborn.
