📋 About This Mod
"Your choice is to either accept the death that is so close or to become a god with us. But a god is not an easy nor pleasant thing to be. As the god of death and birth you will spend eternity making sure that deaths and births stay in proper balance in the physical world. And, in spite of what you believe you understand, you will always agonize over whether your decisions are truly correct. How do you decide?"
Ark'ay spent what seemed to him as an eternity in thought before answering. "Mother, if my studies are not completely wrong, my only choice is to accept the burden and try to transmit the reasons for death and birth to humanity."
"So be it, Arkay, God of Birth and Death."
- Excerpt from Ark'ay the God
This mod adds a Chapel of Arkay to the outskirts of Pelagiad. It is meant to serve as resting place for Western colonists in Vvardenfell, fallen legionnaires, and Dunmer converts to the Imperial Cult. The chapel is complete with a small exterior graveyard, and an Imperial crypt may be found beneath.
This mod also contains a brief quest to inter the remains of a fallen legionnaire at the Chapel of Arkay.
To begin the quest, speak to Nash gro-Khazor at the Madach Tradehouse in Gnisis. You must either have a reputation of 10 or be an Imperial Legion member to begin this quest.
Adds a Chapel of Arkay to Pelagiad with a small graveyard and crypt, plus a brief quest to inter a fallen legionnaire's remains. A compact lore-friendly addition for Morrowind players seeking more content in Pelagiad.
