📋 About This Mod

Introduction

Follow a trail of corpses, uncover a feud between a vengeful necromancer and a gang of graverobbers, then bring it to a violent end.

This short quest mod adds journal entries and a final part to an existing "unmarked" Morrowind quest. The existing quest does not have journal entries, and the author of the note that begins the quest cannot be found. This mod adds the author, and develops another character further, giving them the ability to train, and sell necromancy spells.

You can begin the quest at any point, but the most common and logical place to begin the quest is in Nerano Ancestral Tomb. You generally encounter the quest in vanilla as you progress the Zainab Nerevarine main quest.

This is the existing quest that is changed, note minor spoilers - click here.

Compatibility

This should be compatible with most mods, except for mods that drastically overhaul Pinsun.

There is a patch included in the main archive for Mines and Caverns.

If you're using Vanilla Friendly Wearable Expansion or similar mods, make sure you run TES3Merge.
