📋 About This Mod
Some new fungal colonies have begun to propagate in the northwestern Ashlands, using the corpses of silt striders as their hosts. They are easily noticed by their distinct red hue, which stands out among the otherwise grey wastes. I made this because I thought it would be good practice, and that it might be nice to add a pop of color to the Ashlands. It's mostly visual, but gameplay wise it adds the mainland ingredients of yellow lichen and blister spore to Vvardenfell.
I recommend downloading Strider Burial by Anumaril21 and using the patch included in my mod to integrate it with Strider Corpse Groves. I also recommend either Demanufacturer87's or Damius' Markgran Forest mods to add more fungi to the Ashlands in an immersive way.
Compatibility
Probably incompatible with anything that edits the areas around the silt strider corpses between Druscashti and Kogoruhn.
Patch available for Strider Burial -- The proper load order is Strider Burial->Strider Corpse Groves->Strider Burial Grove.
Patch available for Dwemer Legacy Reforged - Arkngthunch-Sturdumz -- The proper load order is Strider Corpse Groves->Dwemer Legacy Reforged - Bthungthumz and Druscashti->Corpse Groves of Bthungthumz and Druscashti
Being the amateur I am, I forgot to fix the pathgrids with the Strider Burial patch, and I think I've borked the file a little bit so I can't fix it easily. That being said, I did some testing and enemies still seem to get around just fine.
Strider Corpse Groves is a small environmental mod for Morrowind that adds fungal growths to the silt strider corpses in the northwestern Ashlands. It requires Tamriel_Data and has 46 endorsements. This is a niche cosmetic addition for players who want more visual variety in that region.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Tiny but neat touch for Morrowind's Ashlands—makes those dead striders feel more alive with decay.
- Low download-to-endorsement ratio (1,753 downloads, 46 endorsements) suggests it's a niche pick for lore-friendly tweaks.
- Simple concept: if you're tired of bare corpses, this adds a bit of nature reclaiming them.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires Tamriel_Data, so it's not a standalone drop-in—you'll need to grab that first.
- Only affects one specific area (northwestern Ashlands), so it's not a global overhaul.
- No screenshots or detailed install notes in the description, so you're going in a bit blind.
For Morrowind modders who love environmental storytelling and want to add a bit of fungal decay to the Ashlands. If you're already using Tamriel_Data and want small, lore-friendly touches, this is a quick grab. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes or major location overhauls—this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure Tamriel_Data is installed and activated before this mod, or the corpses won't get the fungal treatment.
- If you're using a mod manager like Wrye Mash or MO2, just drop the mod in and enable it—no load order tweaks needed for a simple replacer.
- Check the Ashlands region after installing to see the effect; if you don't see it, verify Tamriel_Data is loaded correctly.
