📋 About This Mod
Description:
His methods are atypical, but an Argonian in the Sixth House base of Bensamsi has discovered a way to create soul gems from ash salts. Talk to Heem-La in the Ald-ruhn Guild of Mages about research opportunities if you would like to learn more.
About this mod:
In July 2017, I held my 2nd Follower Appreciation Event through my Tumblr blog in which the Runner Up prize was a mod which mashed two things of your choosing together. The runner up, caprizee, requested a passive ash zombie with soul gems in their face hole. I have completed this request and included a short quest to boot.
Salt Gems of Bensamsi is a quest mod for Morrowind that adds a new research opportunity involving an Argonian in the Sixth House base of Bensamsi who has found a way to create soul gems from ash salts. Players can talk to Heem-La in the Ald-ruhn Guild of Mages to start the quest. With 216 endorsements and over 27,000 downloads, it's a well-received addition for those seeking new content.

💡 Beginner Tips

- If you use a mod manager, install manually by dropping the files into your Data Files folder and activate the .esp in the launcher.
