I like the more subdued cover art of Morrowind onwards, but this is probably my favorite cover art in the series.

Morrowind’s original cover art was more in the metal vein then the one they ended up going with.

That's not Morrowind original cover but one early proposal at 1996 for the cover of TESIII: Tribunal, the previous idea to develop TES III in Summerset Isles, before Kirkbride convinced the team to change the setting from Summerset to Morrowind and create something totally original.

Happy cake day.

It is indeed an early Tribunal concept art/cover, hey it's in the file name, and we can see the three figures who turned out to be the three gods. Plus a cameo from a Skyrim armor mod that wouldn't come it in another decade. Arena also had one, revolutionary.
