    []Ranis gets her own quarters too - but watch out, she's paranoid

    Expands the Balmora Fighters Guild

    ===============================

    • []General OAAB overhaul

        []Two new NPCs with unique dialogue

        New Quests

          []Help resolve a property dispute between Ajira and Galbedir

          []Unique (if not extensive) dialogue for all the new npcs

          Compatibility

          ===============================

          []Incompatible with BCOM, because RandomPal included an older version of this mod (and then edited it substantially)

          []They are compatible if you delete the cells "Balmora, Guild of Fighters" and "Balmora, Guild of Mages" from Beautiful Cities of Morrowind.esp using a tool like Enchanted Editor or tes3cmd.

          []I've included a .bat script that will automate this process, please see the included readme for details

          []If you use MO2:

          []I use BCOM myself and recommend using them together, as long as you do the above step ^

          [*]Other mods that overhaul the guilds in Balmora are likely to be incompatible.
