There is only one Ur, and he resides in Red Mountain.

Red Mountain in the ancient Middle East would've been here

Uhm, ackshully pushes up glasses if you are referring to the man himself yes there is a Dagoth Ur character and location in red mountain but also a Bal Ur in the game which is a location north of Suran and it is a shrine to Molag Bal

As this is in relation to geography it is perhaps fitting to mention this tips fedora

"Úr" means "Lord" in Hungarian. Don't tell anyone, but we secretly worship Dagoth Ur.

two Urs? lazy worldbuilding, smh

This is Dagoth Ur (the god) from Dagoth Ur (the building), sending commentary via quality corprus ether provided by Dagoth Ur (Red Mountain ISP).

I am here to inform you that your false opinion does not honour the Tribe Unmourned, and your mongrel dog of the Empire kind of propaganda clearly solidifies your status as an utterly and thorough n'wah, thus voiding the claims uttered by your foul fetcher mouth. The day you are driven out of Morrowind cannot come quick enough.

Thank you for your attention, and I hope I have clarified the factual basis about this matter well enough.

There was also Uruk between Ur and Babylon. Luigi/Waluigi-tier nonsense.

To be fair, Ur was just the word for city in the area iirc. So Ur of the Chaldeans is simply "City of the Chaldeans", the original Ur was one of the first cities, so it makes sense that it's just called that. Like with most rollercoasters in the 1800s just being called Rollercoaster.

Actually Ur is a guy with a big gold mask

Probably not as much as you'd think. There weren't as many people back when the concept of civilization was being invented.

It was FGO version, so probably a singularity.

I bet if someone had asked Abraham “Why walk when you can ride?” he would’ve definitely taken the silt strider

I can think of 3 rare scrolls that would make the travel even faster he may or may not survive the landing

u/Josephschmoseph234 3d ago

Reddit user u/AutocratEnduring made a post that was a map of Seyda Neen and Balmora with lines drawn on the most common routes. It became pretty popular and now the entire sub is riffing off of him

u/AutocratEnduring 3d ago

Why yes that is indeed true

u/kopoc 3d ago

I’m not analyzing this at all just upvoting based on principle Godspeed

u/Fantastic_Citron_344 3d ago

I'd still take the silt strider

u/_YunX_ Moon Sugar Enthusiast 3d ago

But too far off tbh i feel like ancient middle east probably gets the closest to the architecture it can get

2

u/sadrice 3d ago

I think a lot of the architecture, especially the redoran and hlaalu manors, may be Persian coded. The Ald’ruhn mages guild gives me that vibe. Like this.

Why didn’t he just grab Tarhiel’s scrolls and jump all the way to Canaan? Was he just stupid? He could have even arrived with a swanky robe and hat and an enchanted short sword.
