Morrowind trading cards

TESGuessr's card album is a trading card collection for The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind: over 6,000 cards, one for every character and creature who has fought in the TESGuessr Arena, Morrowind's fight pits filmed in the game's own engine. Dunmer nobles and Ashlander warriors, Telvanni wizards and Imperial legionnaires, daedra, undead and Dwemer machines, the Tribunal's gods and the Sharmat himself, from Vvardenfell, Solstheim and the Tamriel Rebuilt mainland. Each card shows its fighter where they stand in Morrowind, with their level, attributes, gear, spells and record in the Arena.

Three kinds of card

• The cardCollected with septims, the game's play money: 10, and 5 more for each fight its fighter has won on air.
• The champion cardBlack and gold, never sold: yours for calling a tournament's champion right.
• The Bucket champion cardMidnight blue and gold: for calling the champion of the Bucket, the biggest tournament of all.

Sets and the card bonus

Every card belongs to several sets: its place (Balmora, Vivec, the Ashlands...), its faction (House Telvanni, the Fighters Guild, the Sixth House...), its kind of creature, and the legends. Complete a set and it pays septims. Call a fighter in the Arena and their card goes in your album crumpled, keeping its place until you collect it. And cards pay off in the Arena: back a side holding the card of a fighter on it, and if they win, you get a card bonus on top of your takings.

The Arena

Bouts between Morrowind's characters and creatures, filmed in the game and aired on one schedule for everyone, with tournaments, a record book of every fighter, and quick questions on places and faces between fights. Back a side with your septims before the bell. Go to the Arena.

Questions

Is there a Morrowind trading card game?

TESGuessr's card album is one: a card for every character and creature who has fought in its Arena, collected with play money you earn by playing, in sets that pay out when you complete them, and that pay off when the fighters on your cards win their bouts.

How do I get cards?

Open the card album and collect a fighter's card with septims, TESGuessr's play money. A card costs 10 septims, and 5 more for every fight its fighter has won on air. Champion cards are never sold: you win them by calling a tournament's champion.

Do cards cost real money?

No. Septims are play money: you earn them by playing (the daily games, casual rounds, the Arena's breaks), and they are never bought with real money or cashed out.

What do cards do?

Back a side in the Arena holding the card of a fighter on it, and if it wins you get a card bonus on top of your takings: a quarter of your stake, up to 100 septims a day; twice that with a champion card, ten times with a Bucket tournament's champion card.

What are the sets?

Every card is in several sets, one in each of the album's chapters: its place (a town or a region), its faction, its kind of creature, and the legends. Complete a set and it pays 3 septims a card in it, or 25 a card for a legend.
