📋 About This Mod
"The Indoril masks were official, and they each depicted his true visage. There was also a special Daedric helmet version in the Morrowind Art Book, but its look depicted his more terrible aspect as Hortator and Padomaic champion."
- Dev commentary on Nerevar's face being the Indoril helm.
Adds the Face of the Hortator, a unique Daedric helmet originally meant to be included in the game. The helmet is hidden in an underground temple in Molag Amur, look for a mine entrance with a red lamp on the north shore of lake Nabia (follow the river north from Suran, or go east from Balmora. Or take the propylon to Marandus).
The helmet has a unique mesh, somewhat higher stats than the other Daedric helmets, and a large enchantment capacity. The dungeon is intended for higher-level characters.
Face of the Hortator adds a large, varied dungeon for high-level players in Molag Amur, near Lake Nabia. The dungeon's reward is the lore-friendly, unenchanted Daedric artifact, the Face of the Hortator. With 743 endorsements and 83k downloads, it's a well-received content mod for Morrowind.
