Ashlander holy site[edit]

The recent gameplay footage for ESO:Morrowind has some info on Ald'ruhn in the Second Era. Apparently it was an Ashlander holy site where the Ashlanders fought and defeat the massive crab Skar. Of course we will know more once the game releases and we have more detail Hunts-for-Wisdom (talk) 13:13, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

That is true, but our policy is not to include pre-release information in lore namespace. This information will definitely be added once Morrowind goes live. --Vordur Steel-Hammer (TINV1K) 18:55, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

Ald'ruhn/Old Run[edit]

Shouldn't there be a connection between these places? They have very similar names. I know they aren't in the same exact location but a lot of Arena locations share this similarity, like Sunguard (Arena, Skyrim), Cormount (Arena, Online), or even, Mournhold (Arena, Online). Not to mention in the Morrowind concept map, Old Run was renamed to Aldrun like other places and its a House Redoran location like Ald'ruhn. Also, Ald'ruhn translates to Old Home. Even though it isn't exactly the same name, it's still pretty close. --Vincentius1 (talk) 00:52, 17 February 2019 (UTC)

I think it definitely deserves some kind of remark - like a note similar to the one already present in Arena:Old Run, but still I wouldn't treat them as definitely confirmed to be the same location. -Vordur Steel-Hammer (TINV1K) 09:46, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
The name of Ald'ruhn is most definitely derived from "Old Run" from a development standpoint. Just because it's on the opposite side of the island in Arena doesn't disqualify at as being the same location, plenty of Arena places have re-appeared in subsequent games in different locations than they used to be (take a look at Markarth Side for example). Old Run is the same place as Ald'ruhn, the changed location isn't a retcon, it's just an updated interpretation. This info might be better off in the notes section, but the note shouldn't describe them as different places when they're quite likely the same one.

Old Run's location in the southeast of Vvardenfell cannot be reconciled. The names are similar and you can draw whatever assumptions you like about developer inspiration, but it is speculation to claim that they are the same place. —Legoless (talk) 21:58, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
