Map Marker IconsEdit

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:

  GeographicalEdit

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.

  GuildsEdit

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

  MinesEdit

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

  MiscellaneousEdit

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.

  RuinsEdit

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

Image Location Type Description
  Ancestral Tomb
  Barrow
  Daedric Ruin
  Dunmer Stronghold
  Dwemer Ruin
  Velothi Tower

  SettlementsEdit

The various settlement types and structures.

  House
  Outpost
  Telvanni Tower
  Temple
  Town Caldera, Ebonheart, Gnisis, etc...
  Village Hla Oad, Ald Velothi, etc...

  ShopsEdit

The different services found in each settlement. The icons were taken from the shop’s sign where applicable. More diversity may be created as needed.

Image Location Type Description
  Alchemist/Apothecary Deviating from the in-game symbolism, a simple mortar and pestle could be used.
