📋 About This Mod
Engage in an epic quest to rid Vvardenfell of a great evil.
You will initiate contact with the Morag Tong to discover a long lost hidden tomb. You will uncover a plot and a threat that has long been known but not understood. The quest begins after finishing the beginner questline in the Mages Guild in Balmora. After this, a member of the Morag Tong will contact you.
There are hidden treasures scattered around the tomb. It is intended to be balanced, but beware, nothing is for free.
If you want to start immediately, without having to do the beginner questline, type Journal MG_Stolenreport 100 in the console.
It is recommended to play this mod with a mod that changes light settings such as True Lights and Darkness for best atmosphere but it is not required.
This mod is compatible with all known Balmora town and interior changes, if not I am willing to make a patch.
This mod should also be compatible with most landscape changes.
Recommended level is 10 or above.
Cleaned with Tes3cmd and TESCS
Thank you to Remiros for allowing the use of his tomb assets.
Thanks to the Morrowind Modding Community for helping with feedback.
Known conflicts and issues
This mod conflicts with Vvardenfell brotherhood. That mod changes greetings and makes the Morag Tong hostile to the player.
This mod makes minor landscape changes to cell -10,5. Included are patches for Remiros' Groundcover. Replace the original grass plugin with these.
Mod also conflicts with "King of Worms" since it uses Galbedir in the quest line. https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/46611
Implements Galbedir script fix from PfP as of 3. 2. 1

⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2020 — may have compatibility issues with current Morrowind setups

For Morrowind players who enjoy faction-based quests and want a new adventure tied to the Mages Guild. If you're a completionist looking for extra content in Balmora, this is worth a look. Skip if you prefer standalone quests that don't require prior quest progression.
