Dungeon was called "Dagoth Ur" even in TES III so this is just the same place but Dagoth Ur had to go to pee and didn't meet with Eternal Champion

[@glitchhunter09]

Dagoth Ur: Nerevar? is that you? No? Well you're not getting the heart of Lorkhan. What, you want that thing there? Well take it. I have no use for it anyway.

but bring wraithguard, i have need of it

[@Mephilis78]

It's a piece of some Imperial's broken staff. I don't need it. It is neither Chimer, nor Dwemer, and is of no use to a god.

[@Surakemastura]

To make things clear, the Dunmer have a tradition of naming places based on the gods who live there. The city where Vivec lives is called Vivec, the crater of Red Mountain is called Dagoth Ur, Mournhold is on some maps marked as Almalexia (because she lives there), and likewise the Clockwork City is named Sotha Sil in Tribunal.

[@raziel6304]

Besides, in morrowind, there's still a region inside Red Mountain called Dagoth Ur.

[@BlueDragonKnight77]

+Raziel Wrong fantasy universe, go back inside your sword

[@PasserMontanus]

Mournhold is a palace complex within the city of Almalexia.

[@irisinthedarkworld]

Actually dagoth ur is the original name of the mountain, it just means red mountain in the ancient dunmer language. The villain named himself after it

[@holycowrap]

likewise, the dwemer fortresses near red mountain are all renamed after the Ash Vampire who lives there

You’re not even a demigod and you still tore through my guards... can you at least answer this riddle before you leave, so I don’t look like a total bitch? Yea that’s the answer.

Do you think that the devs had it all planned out with the origin behind the name of the volcano AKA Dagoth-Ur before the Morrowind came? I didnt play the Arena, so i cant tell if the game actually has some books or something like that which can tell more about the origin and legends and stuff like that around the Red Mountain.

[@andresalgado9375]

They did not. That is why there are several plotholes, I mean, dragonbreaks and weird reality bending concepts like CHIM. Still they managed to transform plotholes into good storytelling.

@1234yersiman I think they're referring to the actual ENTRANCE to the mountain, which was the city Vvardenfell (from which the island gains its name) as the Dwemer called it. Dagoth Ur renamed it after himself after he claimed dominance there and made it his citadel.

No it's the same dungeon theme for most of them. However the Dungeons are quite short if you know where you're going.

Wasn't this semi-retconned? Like the events of the game happen but different from how the game depicts them?

Arena was the first Elder Scrolls. In any series worth their salt, the sequels serve the basic purpose of being better than what came before.
