How to start:
Talk to the orc bard about "my trade" in Old Ebonheart near the "Moth and Tiger" Inn.
- A powerful magical bagpipe that can summon snowstorms, which you can ride and control for travel (I built the mod around this bagpipe)
- A small quest in Old Ebonheart to acquire it.
- You can are only riding the wind at a sufficient altitude and can change the direction of the wind by choosing the songs.
Why did you make this mod?
- I created the windriding bagpipe for my own playthrough and created a small quest around it so the player doesn't just "find it somewhere"
- Originally I planned to extend Melodies and Moonlight with this but that would mean making it OpenMW dependend, which I refrained from.
Let me know if you find a bug or missing mesh / texture.

A Blasphemer's Blizzard is a quest mod for OpenMW that adds a new adventure in Old Ebonheart. When you meet Gorbash the Melodious, an Orc bard whose bagpipe playing annoys the town, a strange snowfall begins. The locals suspect divine anger, and the chapel priest has concerns. This mod offers a story-driven quest with a unique premise.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Fresh quest concept—who doesn't want to deal with an annoying bard?
- Small but active community (42 endorsements) and decent download count (5,333).
- Recently updated (March 2025), so it's likely compatible with current OpenMW builds.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 42 endorsements—this is a niche mod, so don't expect a huge following.
- Description is cut off—no details on quest length, rewards, or how it integrates with the world.
- OpenMW only—if you're playing vanilla Morrowind, this won't work.
For Morrowind players using OpenMW who want a quirky, story-driven quest with a humorous premise. If you enjoy mods that add small, characterful adventures to the world, this is worth a look. Skip if you're on the original engine or prefer combat-heavy quests.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you're running OpenMW, not the original Morrowind executable—this mod won't work otherwise.
- Head to Old Ebonheart and look for Gorbash the Melodious to start the quest.
- If you're using other quest mods, check for conflicts in the same area, though this one seems self-contained.
