Gorne is a lush Indoril-ruled island off the eastern coast of Morrowind, in the Indoril District. It was first charted by Topal the Pilot in the Merethic Era. Gorne lies directly to the north of Necrom. The island is home to a giant monstrous skull formation, which aligns with the anatomy of the supposed rib-like protrusions of the creature Gulga Mor Jil that makes up Necrom's foundations, and the Great Arm formation to the city's west.
Many strange creatures found nowhere else in Tamriel inhabit Gorne. Among them is the Gorne Striped Wolf, a breed of a giant wolf that terrorized the island's settlers until they were suppressed in an event called the Troubled House Hunt. These wolves are used as mounts due to their large size. Another species said to have inhabited the isle are giant creatures known as bat lizards, a supposed ancestor to cliff racers that could grow to the size of ships. Although nymphs are not unique to Gorne, they can also be found there.
In the First Era, the island was home to a small village, also called Gorne, and an Indoril estate known as Sandil House.
By 2E 582, Gorne was considered to be part of the Telvanni Peninsula, but remained under Indoril stewardship as an asylum for mentally unstable and magically insane Telvanni mages. It suffered a Daedric incursion from the Shivering Isles that year.

NotesEdit
- The historically inaccurate Poison Song places Gorne in the Inner Sea, a body of water that lies between Vvardenfell and mainland Morrowind.
- The Diodata vampire clan, who have the power to see through the eyes of others, inhabit the island to evade the Korgari.
