That place stands out in my memory too as really ominous. That and the plains in the northeast where I first defeated a golden saint, the astroid prison frozen above Vivek City, and the libraries and book stores.
Comment on Morrowind is overly Morrowind

I’m somewhat partial to the Telvanni Mushroom kingdom (the idea of, hey, here’s an acorn, go GROW your house) but Balmora has always held a special piece in my heart for being the first “big city” I’ve felt in a video game.
The transition to the Ashland and seeing a different biome entirely / grasslands / plains was also pretty incredible.
Ald’ruhn’s Capitol was also novel in design with the redundant rope bridges built on the inside of the shell of a gigantic upturned horseshoe crab.
Vivec’s cool but it’s only possible because of a demi-god’s literal meddling around with the terrain, and it’s too easy to get lost.
Caldera’s also nice, as well as Pelagiad.
I know I just named like ten places but Morrowind’s got a lot of diversity and biomes.

You are cool. I felt something similar to these places.
