Ghosts of the Tribunal - Reduced Cut

Also available on Bethesda.net.

"This isn't Skyrim, outlander. A group of powerful and influential Dunmer families have been ruling Morrowind for millennia. They embody a council made up of five Great Houses: Telvanni, Dres, Indoril, Sadras and Redoran."

— Lleril Morvayn

Ghosts of the Tribunal has a lot of really neat assets that we wanted to use in our games. However, much like the Cause, the Ghosts of the Tribunal questline can feel odd with the lack of real voice acting. We took it upon ourselves to remove the questline and find alternative means to distribute all the new items around the game world!

• []Cuts the Ghosts of the Tribunal questline.[/]

  []Ordinator guards equipped with full Indoril Armor and Dunmeri Ebony weapons have been added to and around the Raven Rock Temple.[/]

  []The Ordinator Shield has been renamed "Indoril Shield".[/]

  []The Robes of the Lich are now worn by Malkoran.[/]

  []A single full set of enchanted Her Hand's Armor will be sold by Falas Selvayn.[/]

  []Magebane can now be found in a pile of Reikling shiny objects.[/]

  []Skull Crusher can now be found in a Reaver's trophy room.[/]

  []Light of Day is now wielded by Keeper Carcette. It can only be obtained after Dawnguard has started.[/]

  []The Cleaver of Saint Felms will now be sold by Falas Selvayn. It may not always be in stock.[/]

  []Hopesfire, Trueflame, the Mask of Dagoth Ur, and the Masks of the Tribunal will all be sold by the Falas Selvayn. Only one relic will be available for sale at a time.[/]

  []The Raven Rock Temple has been overhauled with new furniture added by Ghosts of the Tribunal.[/]

  []Ash Zombies are currently not integrated in any way. We are exploring some possible means of integration.[/]

  []Ashfall's Tears, Fahlbtharz Forge, and the Old Attius Farm Cellar have all been removed completely. In the future we may try and find ways to integrate these locations into the game without their quests.[/]

  []Shrines of Almalexia, Sotha Sil, and Vivec have been added to a secluded location north of Raven Rock Mine (where the entrance to Ashfall's Tear used to be).[/]

  If used together, load this mod before Tamrielic Distribution.
