They are backward barbarians who live as if the Tribunal had never arisen. In their rejection of Almsivi's light, they engage in violence and theft against their civilized cousins. Even so, I admire their commitment to their own savage traditions. I also appreciate the great respect they have for Saint Nerevar. The tragedy is that they reject the peace and enlightenment that his death bought for Resdayn.

Ashlanders? You're wrong, n'thil. I'm of the Shinathi.

Many outlanders and even some of the che of Resdayn confuse us with the Ashlanders, but they are foolish to do so. True, they also live the ancient nomadic ways, but the Ashlanders have closed their eyes to the Tribunal and wallow in ignorance and superstition.

We live in the wastes away from the comfortable houses that the House Dunmer live in. We follow the old ways from hundreds of years ago.

Yes, we might be xenophobic, but have you ever met a House Dunmer who'd follow the traditions from the times before we were gray?

Most Ashlanders in the Armun wastelands are peaceful and just want to be left alone, but some, like the mad ones in Volenfaryon, are nothing more than howling, bloodthirsty barbarians.

We walk the old paths and honor truth where others worship lies.

We are the true people of Resdayn, heirs to the legacy of the Prophet Veloth. We will not disappear, no matter what the House Dunmer would prefer.

Ashlanders live in the wild places of northern Telvannis District, but they don't come here often. When they do, it's usually to buy or sell goods from western traders.

There aren't any Ashlander tribes in this part of Telvannis District. They say the Telvanni drove them all out centuries ago.

I've never heard of them roaming this far north. Knowing the weather here, I can't blame them.

Ashlanders don't usually cross the straits unless things are really bad in Telvanni country. It's been decades since any came to Althoa.

No Ashlanders afflict Tel Rivus or Althoa. The nomads keep to themselves on the mainland.

The Ashlanders worship their ancestors. Ashlander tribes are led by their ashkhan war chiefs, and guided by the wisdom and prophecies of their wise women.

By tradition, Ashlanders claim the right to raid other Ashlander tribes -- and non-Ashlander settlements -- for booty and slaves.

Ashlanders are the nomadic Dunmer barbarians of the Morrowind wastelands. They live in camps of small, mobile huts, herding guar and hunting wildlife for meat and hides.

Now that you have found us a safe place, the Ahemmusa may once again grow strong. Thank you, Nerevarine.

I don't know much about the Ashlanders. Most people say they are murderous savages. But most people are idiots. I know they hate their settled Dunmer cousins almost as much as they hate Westerners. They must be tough to live in the Ashlands. I don't think outlanders can become members of the tribes. I don't know why anyone would want to.

We are the Ahemmusa. And we will be the last of the Ahemmusa, if we do not find a safe place. The blight kills our game, our herds, our hunters and herders. We cannot protect ourselves from the blight-sick animals or blight monsters. If you can help us, please speak to our wise woman, Sinnammu Mirpal.

We are the Ahemmusa tribe. Ahemmusa camp was the last safe place of the Ahemmusa, but it is safe no longer. The blight has taken our lands, our herds, our game, our people. The red clouds spoil our herds and kill the game. The blight-sickness kills our herds and cripples our people. These are the last days of the Ahemmusa.

We are the Ahemmusa tribe of the Vvardenfell Ashlanders. This is Ahemmusa camp, the last place of the Ahemmusa. All the other places are gone. The Urshilaku have the good lands to the west. The Zainab have the good lands to the south. And the blight has taken our lands, has driven us to this last camp. And even here we have no safety, for the red taint takes our herds and kills the game. The blight-sick animals and blight monsters kill our people. Soon we will all die, and the Ahemmusa be forgotten.

We are the People of the Wastes. We hunt and herd guar. We live the Law and honor the Ancestors. No houses. Just yurts. I was a herder, but now I want to become rich, like a great trader. I will live in a town, fight, find treasure, get rich, learn to trade. The soul sickness and blight storms are very bad now in the Ashlands, so I came to Pelagiad. Now I live in a big house and work for men who pay gold.

You have my notes.

There is too much to tell. Here. Take these notes. I've written here what you should know about the Ashlanders and the Nerevarine cult. But most of all, if you are visiting a camp, there are things you should know about courtesy and challenges among the Ashlanders. And, since you ask about the Nerevarine cult, perhaps you'll be interested in my views on the Ashlanders and foreigners, because a guiding passion of the Nerevarine cult is their hatred of foreigners.

I hope you won't think me rude, but I rather not spend my leisure time lecturing strangers.

The Ashlanders hate the House Dunmer, who have become soft, and who have abandoned traditional ancestor worship for the gods of the Tribunal. And the Ashlanders hate outlanders, who invaded and stole their land, and forced them to live as a subject people. A reborn Nerevar who could drive out the outlander invaders, destroy the false worship of the Tribunal, and restore the pure traditional life and faith of the nomads would be a very popular hero to the Ashlanders.

We are the Ahemmusa Ashlanders. We are people of peace, gentle people. We herd our guar and trouble no one. But things are very bad for us now. Very bad. Soul sickness, blight storms, blight-sick animals, blight monsters, come down from Red Mountain, kill our men, eat our herds, bring disease and famine. We have no ashkhan, and our gulakhans are feeble warriors. Things are very bad for us.
