📋 About This Mod
The Northerner Diaries was originally available on Jeremy Soule's Bandcamp, but ak0d notes the album is still available in a reduced quality on Amazon.
I used Skyrim Audio Converter to convert the files from .xwm to .mp3.
Jeremy Soule has granted modders permission to use the Northerner Diaries in their work. Information regarding this can be found in this VGR article.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Brings Jeremy Soule's atmospheric music to Morrowind's Skyrim regions, perfect for SHOTN explorers.
- Small but dedicated following (74 endorsements) and over 1,300 downloads—clearly some players love it.
- Updated recently (August 2024), so it's likely compatible with current Morrowind setups.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 74 endorsements—this is a niche mod for a niche audience, not a must-have for everyone.
- Requires Skyrim Home of the Nords to be useful; without that mod, the tracks won't play in the intended areas.
For Morrowind players who are deep into the Skyrim Home of the Nords project and want to enhance the atmosphere with Jeremy Soule's music. Also for fans of The Northerner Diaries who want that soundtrack in a different game. Skip if you don't use SHOTN or prefer vanilla music.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have Skyrim Home of the Nords installed and active before adding this mod, otherwise the tracks won't trigger.
- Use a mod manager like Wrye Mash or Mod Organizer 2 to handle MUSE files—manual installation can be tricky with audio replacers.
- Check the mod's forum or comments for any known issues with specific Morrowind versions, since the description doesn't cover compatibility.
