📋 About This Mod
Talos Cult Conspiracy
Introduction
Have you ever wondered what could drive a group of emperor‑worshiping fanatics to kill an emperor? What could possibly cause an innocuous cult to turn against the descendant of its holy leader? This mod seeks to provide an answer. In the Talos Cult Conspiracy, you are given the choice to join the Talos Cult, either as a loyal follower or as a spy for the Imperial Legion, and embark on a conspiracy against Emperor Uriel Septim VII.
Features
-
[]Eight new quests
[
] Joinable Talos Cult Faction.[]Participate in the conspiracy against the Emperor (option to play as a spy).
[]Some miscellaneous, fun quests: Learn more about Talos, and successfully complete a quiz about him; complete a pilgrimage, following the footsteps of Talos; hunt down a traitor of the Talos Cult.
[]A new option added for the vanilla quest of General Darius: You can either reveal their plans and spy on them, or you can report them as a harmless group, and join in their conspiracy.
[] Alice's excellent Talos Cult Revised mod has been incorporated into this one, and introduces an overhauled shrine for the Talos Cult, which truly reflects that they are a secret cult operating from a small storage room.
Starting the Quest
Begin by starting the vanilla quest within the main Imperial Legion questline.
It's recommended that you be level 7 to 13 for the questline.
There is a walkthrough under the "Articles" tab.
Compatibility
This is compatible with Tamriel Rebuilt.
This is compatible with Beautiful Cities of Morrowind.
Everything else should be fine, obviously besides "Talos Cult Revised", as this mod also contains that, so it is not necessary to have both.
Lore-friendliness
If you allow us some artistic freedom to expand upon existing lore, (adding new details) but without contradicting anything Bethesda has said, then you will find the mod to be lore-friendly.
