The Pilgrim's Lantern has the longest light-life among all non-infinite candles and lanterns found in the game, lasting for 999,999,999 seconds. This translates to nearly 32 years in real time.
While this is effectively infinite, infinite candles and lanterns already exist in the game, possibly making the unusual life-span an oversight, or simply left over from development before they were implemented.

The month of "Morning Star" is omitted/missing from the game, presumably by accident. It was present in the former two Elder Scrolls games, The Elder Scrolls: Arena and The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall, as well as the future games of the series.

The prisoner they are referring to is an Imperial guard in a nearby cell. Apparently since the Telvanni have very little contact with the Empire, they must have found the guard absolutely fascinating and put him on display.

The player can then either accept or reject the offer. If the player accepts, Dagoth Endus will give you a bottle of Ancient Dagoth Brandy, although the player is not actually required to drink it. The brandy itself is actually quite potent and will damage 20 points of Intelligence and Willpower for a minute, so it may even be wiser not to drink it (it can later be sold for 1,500 gold). If the player rejects the offer, Dagoth Endus will state that it's a pity, but also that it's "a pity to waste it on a coward like you."
Following the exchange, Dagoth Endus will offer the player the first strike, stating "You're the challenger, and I am your host. So honor demands that you deliver the first blow."

According to writer/concept-artist Michael Kirkbride, Vivec (and his androgyny) is inspired by the Ardhanarishvara, the androgynous aspect of the Hindu god Shiva.

If the player does The Sad Seer quest after finishing the main quest, Oddfrid White-Lip will predict the player's future. She will say, through her friend Geilir the Mumbling, "When the dragon dies, the Empire dies. Where is the lost dragon's blood, the Empire's sire? And from the womb of the void, who shall stem the blood tide?"
This is actually a teaser to the plot of the fourth game in the Elder Scrolls series, Oblivion, which was unreleased at the time. The dragon is a reference to the Septim family line. During Oblivion, the supposed last Septim emperor dies, causing the Gates of Oblivion to open and the empire to fall into chaos. It is up to the player to find the emperor's missing heir, "the lost dragon's blood," and close the "womb of the void".
The remainder of this prophecy was revealed in a series of splash screens at the countdown to the Oblivion launch on the Official Elder Scrolls site:
When the dragon dies, the Empire dies.
Where is the lost dragon's blood, the Empire's sire?
And from the womb of the void, who shall stem the blood tide?
So long as the Blood of the Dragon Prince runs strong in her rulers, the glory of the Empire shall extend in unbroken years.
His heart's blood bleeds in darkness
For once the portals are opened, who shall shut them upon the rising tide?
For Lord Dagon forever reborn in blood and fire from the waters of Oblivion.
Find him... and close shut the marble jaws of Oblivion.
This prophecy expands upon the plot that would eventually be revealed in "Oblivion".

Later on in Tribunal, yet another naked Nord named Forstaag the Sweltering can be found in the western end of Mournhold's Plaza Brindisi Dorom. Upon talking to him, however, he will reveal that is he is not paralyzed, nor has he ever escorted a witch in his life. In fact, he claims he is naked merely because he feels hot (ostensibly the source of his nickname, "the Sweltering"). He even gets rather offended, claiming "you people think that every time you see a naked Nord barbarian, he's been tricked by some witch. So narrow minded."
If you continue to interrogate him, he will fiercely defend himself, claiming: "I told you I don't need any help. I'm just trying to cool off a bit. I've never even seen a witch! You people and your stereotypes...."
Later on in the game, after the attack on Mournhold, he will continue to defend his stance: "You'll notice I'm not blaming this on any witch. And it's still too hot around here."

After completing the Bloodmoon main quest line, a unique item named "BlueDev's Ring of Viewing" appears in the mouth of the stuffed cliff racer in Skaal Village's Great Hall. The ring allows the player to see all of the cut scenes seen by werewolf players in Bloodmoon. The name BlueDev is yet another reference to Bethesda designer Mark Nelson, who was known by the name BlueDev on the official forums.

Creeper is not the only infamous scamp that can be found in Morrowind. Lustidrike is a scamp that you can find in the daedric ruin of Ald Daedroth, which is visited during Sheogorath's daedric questline. If you talk to him, he will offer you anything to drink for free, "so long as it's sujamma." Upon receiving the drink, however, closer inspection will reveal that it is actually the far less potent "Lustidrike Cocktail."
Lustidrike will continue to offer you free drinks until your intelligence drops below 30, in which he will tell you "Sorry, pal. You've had enough. Go get some exercise or something." He will continue handing out drinks if you return to him later sober. However, if you return later with an intelligence that is still below 30, he will take notice and state "Back again? I dunno, pal. You look like you've had plenty. Or maybe you ALWAYS look that way."

This Easter egg is a reference to Elton Brand, an NBA basketball player who once played for the Duke Blue Devils. Bethesda Designer Mark Nelson attended Duke college and was a renowned Duke University basketball fan, which was reflected by his username choice "BlueDev". Completing the quest triggers a script called "bluescript" that checks the player's inventory for the gold and Goldbrand, and creates the unique dialogue option if the conditions are met. Additionally, Eltonbrand's object ID is "katana_bluebrand_unique". The unique dialogue option references the North Carolina Tarheels, who are Duke's most hated rivals. The name of the quest itself, "Shashev's Key," is also a reference to the long-time coach of the Blue Devils, Mike Krzyzewski, whose last name is pronounced "shÉ™-SHEF-ski". Lastly, the 11171 gold pieces is a reference to Nelson's date of birth, the 1st of November 1971.

This is a reference to a popular tradition started by forum member "Captain Eldrad" in the official forums years before the release of the game. Older members of the forum used to welcome new members by greeting them and posting an image of a pirate holding a fish stick. The Bethesda developers honored this tradition by putting the book into the game.
The book claims to be the definitive reference to fishy sticks throughout Tamriel, but sadly its contents state that "the pages are so smeared with fishy stick sauce it is impossible to read any of them."

During a quest in Tribunal, the player is asked to make a journalist, Trels Varis, stop printing lies about King Helseth. Once the player tracks him down to his printing offices, he will ask the player what they are doing there. One of the dialogue options is "I'm looking for the Eye of Argonia." This was the name of the planned second Elder Scrolls Adventures game. It was designed but never developed because the previous Elder Scrolls Adventures game, Redguard, had not been successful. If the player pick this option, the journalist compliments them on producing such an "original and entertaining excuse."

Creeper is actually based on a friend of designer Mark Nelson who was an unemployed drummer during some part of Morrowind's development. Despite being a lesser Daedra in a house full of Orcs, Creeper usually states he wants nothing more than to play his Guarskin Drum (which he can actually be found amongst his wares). When greeted, Creeper will also sometimes say "Don't want to work. Just want to bang on my drum." This is a reference to the song "Bang The Drum All Day" by Todd Rundgren.
