📋 About This Mod

Part of the May Modathon Month

This small mod adds the "Hortator" faction to your character sheet, with you being at the rank of "Hortator," once all three Great Houses named you as such. I just felt that it is strange that every other rank you achieve in any faction is acknowledged on your character sheet, no matter how insignificant it is, while being the wartime leader of Morrowind isn't.

Being a "Hortator" now also comes with some perks, namely that people will like you more. Faction reactions to being Hortator:

Hlaalu, Telvanni, Redoran +2 (You are their wartime leader, after all.)

Blades, Ashlander +1 (They are happy that the Nerevarine prophecies are on their way.)

Temple +1 (They still hate you, but recognize that they must deal with you)

Imperial Legion +1 (They are soldiers, they are mildly impressed by a war leader.)

Sixth House -3 (Obviously)

The mod only modifies one script and adds a new faction, whose only member will be the player, so it must be compatible with Morrowind Rebirth and any other mod that exists. It is also clean, and bug-free. Requires only Morrowind to work.
