Doniphan Messor, the West Reach's ambassador in the Ebon Tower

Doniphan Messor is a Breton bard and the ambassador sent from the Kingdom of Evermore to represent the interests of the West Reach in Old Ebonheart, and by extension, Morrowind itself. He can be found in the High Rock Mission in the Ebon Tower, alongside fellow ambassador Esolde Venonne.

He wears an extravagant shirt with matching pants and shoes. He carries 61 gold.

Aside from his natural bonus and resistance to magicka, and his ability to shield himself for short periods, he knows no spells.

Dialogue

• Greetings:

"Good day %PCName. Welcome to the High Rock Mission. Have you come with questions about High Rock, or do you wish only to enjoy a taste of fine Breton hospitality?"

(If you are a Breton):

"Welcome, fellow %PCRace! You are safe now in this small piece of High Rock here in the east. Can I be of any assistance contacting someone in one of the kingdoms? Or do you need a guide to get accustomed to the strange land of Morrowind?"

(If you are an Orc):

"Eh, hello, %PCRace... Are you perhaps looking for the Orsinium Mission? It will be on the highest floor of this building, if you keep following the stairs upward."

(If King Hlaalu Helseth is dead):

"Greetings citizen. Forgive me if I don't give you much attention but with the recent death of the King, our mission, along with most of the province, has been in a state of unrest."

• Background:

"I am called %Name. It is my honor -- and substantial expense -- to run this mission for fellow High Rock expatriates."

• Bayard:

"The Bayards are my people, the cosmopolitan and refined Bretons of the western Iliac and interior Bretony. We are a culture of high honor -- knights and bards, lords and ladies, heroes and saints. Ours is the best-known of High Rock's cultures, and all Bretons are often incorrectly assumed to share our gift for society manners. Bayard culture is characterized by our respect for rightful authority; from the highest halls of the heavens to the lowliest peasant village, all beings and things have a place."

• Boullard:

"Boullards are quarrelsome folk, descendants of the "low men" who once lived on the fringes of the ancient Direnni Hegemony in that empire's strongholds around the river Bjoulsae. Through many centuries of trade and war, the river-folk have forged a culture of artisans, scholars, and knights whose humble heritage is today as much a badge of honor as any crown. To the self-made Boullards, war is the business of power... and business is very good."

• Breton:

"Asking fifty Bretons about our people is likely to get you a hundred answers. Generally, though, our people can be classified by five rough cultural-geographical identities: Bayard, Boullard, Montagnard, Normen, and Ostern. I'd be happy to tell you about any or all of them."

• Ebonarm:

"Have you not heard of him? Stars bless him. Reymon Ebonarm was truly a living legend, one of the greatest mortal warriors of all time. He drove the Redguard out of High Rock in the first era, conquered the West Reach and founded Evermore in Magnon's name. Much like Tiber Septim, he achieved godhood through his achievements on Nirn and is still worshipped to this day."

• Elysana:

"Few are as feared as Elysana in the courts of High Rock. She currently rules Wayrest through corruption and deceit."

• Evermore:

"My home, the Kingdom of Evermore, is the ruling power in the West Reach. We take pride in being home to some of the world's most talented mages as well as having a legacy leading back all the way to our founder, Ebonarm himself. Evermore seeks peace for High Rock as well as the whole of Tamriel and is happy to declare friendship with the Morrowind and its people."

• High Rock:

"High Rock, my home, is a green and rainy land far from these ashen shores. The Rock is not one realm, but multitudes; we Bretons are characterized by our differences. Though our people war more often among ouselves [sic] than with outsiders, our institutions are renowned the world over for their resilience through troubled times."

• Miracle of Peace:

"The Miracle of Peace ended the calamities of the infamous Warp in the West. Thanks to the divine will of Oriel, the brutal conflicts that tore apart the West were ended, and the fractious Iliac Bay was knitted together beneath four banners."

• Montagnard:

"Montagnards are the people of High Rock's high rocks, the mountain-dwellers of the Wrothgarian and Kurallian ranges. They are the most insular Bretons, and the least accustomed to contact with the wider world. Montagnard settlements are under constant threat from the orcs and goblinken who plague the uplands of the West; often, whole villages lie within stout fortress walls perched in the high mountain valleys."

• Morrowind:

"The Dark Elves' homeland is a foreboding place for we of the green west. But Morrowind is no less alive with history, and no less steeped in myth."

• my trade:

"I am a bard by trade, but most of my time is occupied by the considerable effort required to keep this mission operational, and to satisfy the refined tastes of our esteemed guests."

• Normen:

"Normen are the people of High Rock's northern coasts, the descendants of those Bretons who interbred with the Nord conquerors whose seaside holdings long survived the fall of the First Empire many centuries ago. Normen retain many beliefs and customs of their Nordic relatives, including an cultural affinity for voyaging."

• Orsinium:

"The orcs have not built themseleves [sic] a homeland since the First Era. This new Orsinium of King Gortwog promises peace, but will it last?"

• Ostern:

"Ostern Bretons are the people of the Western Reach, a complex and troubled land riven by even more conflict than the rest of the Rock. Ostern tradition centers magic, prophecy, and legend, all further colored by the individual traditions of their myriad realms. Their religion is at once more esoteric and more intense than that of the Bayards or Boullards, most notably by their fervent faith in Magnon, rather than Oriel, as the reigning king of the heavens."
