📋 About This Mod

Overview - 

In Tamriel Rebuilt, the Barrister’s Guild is a non-joinable side faction in which you can do some miscellaneous quests involving various barristers.  Currently, there are guild offices in Old Ebonheart and Firewatch.  However I’ve always wondered what they do and how they do it.  For example, Reynant Alciente in the OE Barristers Guild (now Marsh & Ellerian as of TR 24. 12) can clear your bounty for 400 gold after you complete a certain TR quest.  How is this possible?

This mod is intended at least in part to give my interpretation of the answer in an exciting and fun yet (hopefully) lore-friendly manner.  It makes Tamriel Data's Barristers Guild into a joinable faction (without changing it), with a story-driven quest chain centered at Marsh & Ellerian in Old Ebonheart dealing with matters of law in Morrowind.

You will be asked to help clients ranging from rogues and thieves and necromancers to nobles like the Duke of Deshaan himself.  These clients may be innocent or guilty of a crime, or they may simply be asking you for legal advice.  They may come to you to reduce a fine they paid for stealing a valuable item, to get their jail sentences reduced or reversed for theft or murders, to seek justice against a criminal that freely walks the streets by revealing their crimes, or even to avoid execution or political turmoil by proving the legality of their actions.  Some of the quests may even have an overarching theme, with a climactic reveal and a satisfying (or not so satisfying) conclusion.  It’s entirely up to you how these quests will end.

Whatever the case may be, your duties in each quest will primarily be to investigate the case as you collect evidence to help your client.  Although there are one or two quests where you actually argue your case before the magistrate, most of the time you’ll be out and about.  Some testimony or evidence may be easy to get; others not so much.  You may find yourself relying on speechcraft or personality in one case to convince a witness to get the testimony you need, while in another case you may have to rely on stealth or illusion.  You may even find yourself fighting your way out of a mess or two.  Some testimony or evidence you find may even be damaging for your client.  Anything may go when it comes to trying to resolve your client’s legal problems.

Requirements - Morrowind/Tribunal/Bloodmoon, Tamriel Data (version 12) and Tamriel Rebuilt (version 25. 05) - special thanks goes to the Project Tamriel Rebuilt team for developing the assets and world that allowed me to make this mod possible!

Recommendation - if you're a new character, you can get a better immersive experience if you play as a barrister class using Tiny Plesiosaur's All Races and Classes Unlocked - Vanilla and Tamriel_Dat
