📋 About This Mod
In the year 3E427, an Imperial prison ship was en route to Vvardenfell, the Empire’s penal colony to release some prisoners there in exchange for the promise that they would never leave the island. However, as the ship was passing next to a previously uncharted island owned by an anti-Imperial Telvanni wizard, a terrible raging storm occurred. Only one Imperial legionnaire, and two prisoners could survive. You are one of those prisoners. And now you are stranded on the island, waiting for rescue. However, there is more going on in that island than a Telvanni Wizard conjuring a storm. It seems that the gods themselves have plans with the passengers of the ship, and they want to use them for their own plans. The mod is loosely based on William Shakespeare's play titled The Tempest.
This would have been Team Purist Pariah's entry to the second round of the Morrowind Modding Madness, if we had more time to create it.

Bugs, incompatibilities and other grievances
