📋 About This Mod
There used to be an ebony shortword hidden in the Odai Plataeu in a previous version of Morrowind. But for some reason a later version of morrowind clipped the sword under the ground so its impossible to get. This mod moves the sword back to a place it can be found again.
Its an odd thing what happened to this fabled sword. Many people recall finding it in their playthroughs long ago, including me,. But now if you try to find it you cannot, unless you use console command cheats. The sword has always been there, but likely due to some oversight, the sword or the terrain has been shifted slightly causing the sword to be completely inside the terrain thus making it impossible to reach.
This mod simply moves the sword back to where it was originally so it can once again be found by the player as they stumble about.
This bug fix mod restores the Ebony Shortsword in Morrowind's Odai Plateau, which was previously clipped underground in a later game version. It moves the sword back to a reachable location, making it obtainable again. Ideal for players who want to recover this hidden weapon without console commands.
