***********************************************************
In 2004, MikeL, the creator of this little plugin, made the beta of the 3. 2 version of A Grand Abode available on his site along with the textures he planned to use for a new secret set of armor.
Unfortunately, this work was left unfinished, though it remained available thanks to the Web Archive and Morrowind Modding History.
Enjoy this little blast from the past, however crowded Balmora is.
***********************************************************
1. Description
***********************************************************
Lord Nerevar's Grand Abode lies between Ebonheart and Vivec, just outside the Hlaalu Canton.
But why is such a beautiful place abandoned? Surely it's nothing dangerours...
Compatible with BCOM and other mods that change Balmora.
It is freely accessible, but to get full access may require a rather powerful character if you want to survive what may be discovered.
It contains a number of somewhat overpowered objects behind lock and key; if you could only get the key.
If using the cheatless esp replacer it will not contain any overpowered items.
