Map Marker Icons[edit]

I've been creating my own custom annotated map on the side both as a hobby and for personal use. In the process, I have made custom Morrowind themed map markers and after seeing the work here, decided to offer them up for use with the online map, if you so choose. As I said, they are designed to fit the Morrowind theme. Many are borrowed from the game, some are borrowed from Oblivion, some are made with the hopes that they will be intuitive. I made a lot of them to cover all the bases and make the map as thorough as possible. I've broken them down into categories:

Geographical[edit]

These are geographical locations found across the province; naturally occurring or so infused with the land, it’s obvious to group them here.

Image	Location Type	Description
	Cave
	Grotto
	Landmark	As general as Vvardenfell or Sea of Ghosts, as specific as Khartag Point or River Samsi.
	Monument	From the Shrine of Azura to the Earth Stone.

Guilds[edit]

These are the guild related locations that have free standing, independent locations visible when zoomed into their relative cities and towns. These were taken from the in game signs where available.

Image	Location Type	Description
	Fighters Guild
	House Hlaalu
	House Redoran
	House Telvanni
	Imperial Cult
	Mages Guild
	Morag Tong
	Thieves Guild

Mines[edit]

The different types of mines found on Vvardenfell. Due to the size of the icon, it is difficult to represent these types and still convey that the location is indeed a mine. Therefore it may be advisable to simply use the default mine icon for each type.

Image	Location Type	Description
	Diamond Mine
	Ebony Mine
	Egg Mine
	Glass Mine

Miscellaneous[edit]

These are the miscellaneous things that can be found throughout the wilderness such as persistent corpses, creature spawn points, and hidden loot. More diversity may be created where necessary.

Image	Location Type	Description
	Blank	Can be used temporarily if another icon needs to be made, or can be a foundation for making a new icon.
	Corpse	A persistant corpse; can be human, creature, or skeleton.
	Creature	Creature den or approximate location of a quest related creature.
	Door	Used in towns or interior cells.
	Loot	Any hidden loot; i.e. items found in stumps along the Bitter Coast. Potentially any item without ownership?
	None	Not sure what it's for, but Oblivion has one...
	NPC	Any NPC or quest related NPCs, including Creeper/Mudcrab Merchant...?
	Plant/Ingredient	Any plant container that can be harvested for ingredients? Potentially unusable due to sheer amount.
	Temple Shrine	The various shrines located in the wilderness or in tombs.

Ruins[edit]

The various man or mer made ruins found across the land.
