📋 About This Mod

Famous Faces of the Iliac Bay adds most unique NPCs who were previously unseen in Daggerfall. These NPCs have a unique portrait and have their own factions. Among those who you'll meet, some are lords, ladies, thieves, knights and even a dragon. Since most of these NPCs are nobles, they will offer the

same quests as their noble fellows.

In addition, all palaces' interiors have been revamped and enhanced with a new detailed layout, the addition of regional banners and tapestries along with appropriate ruler sprites.
