Davon's Watch (also known as Darnim Watch)[1] is a settlement on the mainland of Morrowind, along the southern coastline of the Inner Sea. It has an ancient history, and was once a fortress turned major port city in the Stonefalls region, controlled by House Indoril.

History[edit]

The city's history began as an Indoril fortress named Varnim Watch, which stood in the land of Resdayn since Velothi's time and had been torn asunder.[UOL 1] It had become an established town by the early First Era, where the Chimer had already built a number of large buildings but had not yet constructed a wall around the city.[2][3]

Davon's Watch was sacked by a Nord raiding party led by Unnvald Ironhand in the mid-Second Era, before the signing of the Ebonheart Pact.[4] During the Three Banners War in 2E 582, the city was put under siege by the invading Daggerfall Covenant. Despite the advice of his ancestors, Grandmaster Tanval Indoril released the ancient Daedra Balreth, originally a Chimer general, who had been imprisoned in Ash Mountain for centuries. Balreth destroyed the Covenant forces utterly, freeing Davon's Watch, and was subsequently rebound by the Pact.[5] The Worm Cult also had a brief presence in the city.[6]

By the time of the Imperial Simulacrum in the late Third Era, the village of Darnim Watch was no longer a significant settlement. It was ruled by Lord Ulfar and it had a rivalry with Helnim Wall and Old Run.[1] It was neighbored by several settlements, including Dragon Glade to the northeast, Eagle Moor to the southwest, Ebonheart to the west, Helnim Wall to the north, Mournhold to the south, and Old Keep to the southwest.[7]
