Elder Scrolls III: Bloodmoon

           Info from http://www.elderscrolls.com

Bloodmoon, the latest expansion for Morrowind, takes you to the
frozen Island of Solstheim where the Empire is establishing a new
mining colony - a venture being threatened by the prophecy of the
Bloodmoon and rumors of werewolves.

Your journey north from Vvardenfell by ship will bring you to a
whole new world, where the ashlands and rainy coasts of Morrowind
give way to forests and hills covered with snow and ice. In the
huge wilderness of Solstheim you'll experience snow, blizzards,
and new creatures, including frost trolls, ice minions, and
wolves.just to name a few.

"We wanted Bloodmoon to look and feel completely new for Morrowind
players," said Todd Howard, Executive Producer.  "Everything from
the setting to the storyline to the art makes this expansion feel
like a game unto itself."

You'll have a choice of stories to follow and have the opportunity
to defend the colony, take control over how the colony is built
up, and eliminate the werewolves. Or, you can decide to join the
werewolves and become one of them, opening up a whole new style of
gameplay.

"The chance to become a werewolf adds a new dimension and brings
back a memorable part of Morrowind's predecessor, Daggerfall,"
said Project Leader Ashley Cheng. "It's something our fans have
talked a lot about, and we felt the only way to do it right was in
an expansion where we could devote full attention to it."

Where does Bloodmoon take place?
   Bloodmoon is set on the island of Solstheim to the northwest of
   Vvardenfell. You'll find an untamed wilderness to explore,
   populated by dangerous creatures and new dungeons like ice
   caves and Nordic burial tombs.
