Carter has signed on to provide the voices for the female Nords, one of the races that populate this expansive game.

"We are thrilled to have Lynda Carter join the project," says Todd Howard, Morrowind's Project Leader who has won numerous awards for his previous work. "Adding her talent and personality to some of our characters is a huge addition for Morrowind. And of course, I've been a fan since childhood."

�After working for so many years in the entertainment industry, I was delighted to do something new and become involved creatively with the development of this game,� said Carter. �I really enjoyed the experience and believe Morrowind is something that the gaming public is going to be excited about.�

Morrowind also features the creative talent of award-winning musician Jeremy Soule, who will be responsible for composing and producing the music for the third chapter in the award-winning Elder Scrolls series.

The design for Morrowind is being led by Ken Rolston, who won the coveted H.G. Wells Award for Best Role-Playing Game in 1985 and has created numerous award-winning games throughout his career. He is generally considered to be one of the godfathers of role-playing games (RPGs).
