Foyada Drura ca. 2E 582

Foyada Drura is one of the several foyadas of Vvardenfell, the island district of Morrowind.[1] The volcanic ravines (or "fire-rivers") are valleys formed by lava flows from Red Mountain, functioning as drainage basins for lava when the volcano is active, or alternatively forming pathways to travel on when dormant and devoid of lava.[2][3][4] The foyada starts from the caldera of Red Mountain and travels south through the Ashlands in the west, surrounding Ald'ruhn on the northwest side. Hleran Ancestral Tomb is found at the end.[1] When Skar fell in ancient times, Dranoth Hleran's people cried out for the quiet life with crops and strong houses, silencing their Velothi hearts and settling beside the fire river of Drura.[5] Foyada Drura was filled with lava at the time of the Imperial Simulacrum.[6] The foyada had dried up by the time of the Blight in 3E 427, allowing Bal Isra to be built in the valley.[7]
