Lean Into the Storm and Hope To Weather It

Happy birthday, @changelingsandothernonsense!! We're BELATED but it's so worth it. Thank you for letting me write fanfic of your fanfic 😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂

This one is directly inspired by Arkanis: Teldryn and the upcoming Arkanis: Erra and ... a secret third Arkanis entry. :>

So. Morrow-fic. Sorta. Pre-Morrowind Morrowfic.

It's a little off the rails, featuring Nibani Maesa, and her Aro/Ace QPR relationship (and eventual betrothal and bonding) with Sul-Matuul, her visions, and how Peakstar came to be recognized as one of the incarnates (though, unfortunately, failed.) Also features some easter eggs for Ceth's fic universe <3

Without further ado:

Lean Into the Storm and Hope To Weather It

When earth is sundered, and skies choked black, and sleepers serve the seven curses…

Nibani Maesa shook her head, trying and failing to clear the voice of her grandmother from her ears. It had been long enough since her passing that her family’s grieving was done—yet the pitch and timbre of the raspy, ashen, elderly voice never had faded from her. It was another Sign, one she had withheld from her mother now for months. The less that was spoken on that front, the more likely her sister, Diyanna, would be considered for the sacred position of Wise Woman. This was, of course, folly to wish for. But she would let the wisest of the Urshilaku talk, and pretend they might decide otherwise. Keeping their gaze from her face brought her a semblance of peace—though Nibani knew deep down all would be uncovered eventually. She would need to step into her power sooner rather than later.

She had, after all, foreseen her mother’s death. That, too, was another Sign. It was the heaviest of them, and she had trusted it to only one other—Sul-Matuul. He was her best friend—and perhaps the only true friend she had. When one was marked by the stars as she was, there were few who would look past the perception of power bestowed by her eventual title. But Sul had known the shape of her soul since they were children. Azura knew he’d likely known her across every lifetime. She felt their connection to be a foundational truth of the universe, and had told him as much. Despite her current worries, she smiled at the memory of his response. He’d woven his fingers through hers and sighed in exasperation, only to laugh his agreement at the sentiment. He’d insisted he’d never been one for poetry, or he’d have said it himself.

Nibani was positive that in every lifetime, she’d have to be the one to proclaim such truths—and would do so again, and again.

She set down the basket she had been carrying and smoothed the stray strands of her thick, auburn braids, pulling them back over her shoulders. Sul was there across the plains, sparring with Zabamund—though she wished he wouldn’t. There was a reason Grandmother’s voice would not empty from her mind this day. It was imperative to talk about it. He would try to understand, and would remind her of her strength all the while. For now, he was preoccupied. He had a role to fill, too—he would be named Ashkhan, though the Gods only knew when. It didn’t stop his father from insisting he act as if the title was already his.

To the hearth there comes a stranger, journeyed far 'neath moon and star…

Nibani sighed and looked toward where the sun would be setting, if they were lucky enough to see such things. That there was not an ash storm and she could breathe the air was blessing enough. Sometimes—though rarely—the winds blew favorably. It was a shame for such a day to be tinged by the beginnings of what would surely become a full vision. She needed her friend for this. -> Read the rest on AO3.

Morrowind: Nix Hound cavalry of the Redoran Watch

Fairly authentic depiction, in the style of Rubens's oil sketches, of the armour of Redoran Watch added by Tamriel Rebuilt.

[melchiordahrk]

Apologies. I meant the Erabenimsun of Molag Amur. What of their funerary practices?

For the Erabensimsun, I'll go back to my original concept which inspried the Red Wisdom mod where I associated each of the tribes with a traditional element:

Urshilaku - Earth | Ash / Cairn or Foundation

Ahemmusa - Water | Oblivion / Memory

Zainab - Wind | Storm / Voice

Erabenimsun - Fire | Lava / Destruction

Here's what I wrote about the Erabenimsun:

"Erabenimsun can relatively easily be associated with fire since they live in the Molag Amur region and some of their older members are known to have personalities of a fiery nature. Their burial cavern would have lava pits and magma flows. They place their recently deceased into “heat tubes” to quickly dry out the cadavers. This process imbues the Erabenimsun mummies with a dark, cracked surface. White ash which blasts them from the earth's heat covers the front of the mummies giving them a ghostly appearance. Sometimes their warriors will dawn white ash death masks of their own when going into battle. Particularly with the expectation that they will die."

Obviously the Erabenimsun burial caverns were not shown in Red Wisdom due to time constraints, but this is how I envision them.

I know that nobody asked, but here's some Telvanni lore for all the foodies.

Before you begin this culinary journey, check out this post about ash yams it's essential.

-----------------------------

Telvanni Cuisine

It’s obvious that Telvanni have an extensive knowledge of fungi.  After all, they live in huge mushrooms and collect and plant numerous species from all across the Tamriel to use them in their potions. It goes without saying that their cuisine is also quite fungal. The commonfolk at Telvanni settlements as most of the Dunmer source their protein both from fungi* and insect meat. But Telvanni nobles love nurturing peculiar worldviews and traditions that differentiate them from other races - or even other Dunmer. One of them is their distaste for anything that doesn’t grow in soil. They frown upon hunter traditions of Ashlanders and stock-raising of house Redoran and regard them as “primitive” in contrast to the delicate art of growing fungi. The alchemy ingredients are an obvious exception from this rule, but in general as their occupations don’t usually include menial work, their light and low-calorie cuisine perfectly matches their lifestyle. This resulted in traditional cuisine of the nobility being solely plant-, or more specifically, mushroom-based**, that contrasts sharply with the cuisine of Skyrim that is rich in venison and other animal-based foods***. Noble Telvanni shun debilitating ingredients such as alcohol and moon sugar in their everyday cuisine, as keeping their minds sharp is their main priority. In order to get an indulgent sweet taste marshmerrow is used instead. Telvanni rarely import vast quantities of vegetables from other provinces as house Hlaalu does. They use commonly grown foods like saltrice, ash yams or mushrooms as the base ingredients of the dishes. In some aspects they prefer to stick to the Dunmer traditions. The nobles, though, indulge themselves in expensive imported berries - not only because of their magic-enhancing abilities but also because of their extravagant taste. As the Telvanni ranks feature numerous alchemists the import of alchemical ingredients is obviously very common. Telvanni chefs gradually incorporated some of the exotic spices into traditional cuisine. Especially valued are the most characterful of them that fancy up the bland taste of mushrooms, such as juniper, ginseng or garlic****. * In real life mushrooms are a rather poor source of protein compared to legumes like beans and lentil. But since there are no legumes in TES universe (at least as far as I know) let's suppose there are some protein-rich mushrooms Telvanni can plant. ** It’s also worth mentioning that I’m a Telvanni-fixated vegan ass myself so that’s a more probable reason why I made my beloved house also vegan xD *** A lovely example of that contrast you can encounter in @thana-topsy ‘s fanfic “Breathing Water”. This would nicely explain Neloth’s preference for apple cabbage stew. **** This recipe for example resembles Telvanni cuisine, it was one of the inspirations from my imaginary dishes above.

Above I’ve come up with some examples of what noble Telvanni would eat on a daily basis.

Thanks for reading that and take care :3

I recently realized I never posted Ramshuribani's reference, but since I modified some things on it today I can now post the updated version I'm a lot happier with (added her earring based on this unused lore tidbit (bottom of the page), switched her main weapon from a spear to a short blade (thus her weird pose), and slightly fixed her colors to look nicer).

She's the sort of companion/follower to my Nerevarine. She's an Urshilaku Ashlander who finds his insistence that he's the Nerevarine silly but endearing, but come to be the first one to actually believe in him. She later tags along with him while he's fulfilling the 4th and 5th trials, and the two of them start a little fling that turns into a full blown romance.

Unfortunately she's not as developed as I'd like her to be right now, but I got a lot of pieces of story set up, so I'm just waiting for the switch to flip in my brain at some point that puts them all together.

[skyrim-crossing]

Just saw your Dovahkiin on @hircines-hunter 's post and WOW oh my goodness could you share more pictures? Gorgeous.

THANK YOU??? 🥺🥺🥺🩵🩵🩵🩵

I have got SO many pictures from over the past 10 years, and art in so many styles, but here are my favourites!

If you want more info on her, I am making a post about her lore soon! But tldr she's an ex Ashlander, who went on to become a Daedrologist! She worships Hermaeus Mora, she is a tattoo artist and she loves adventure.

To celebrate N7 day, some bits of background ME lore you might not know about:

There was a famous batarian pirate (Essul) that was killed by the Spectres after leading 11 blitz and a huge pirate army in the Terminus. Nowadays, young spacers swear they will be the ones to find his lost legendary stockpiles of eezo and live like kings.

There is a garden planet in the Terminus that is nearly impossible to live in, because of its earthquakes, radiation and storms. However, the latter made it a sanctuary for escaped batarian slaves, since it meant no sensors could find them there.

There is an Alliance planet where slavery was technically legalized (the reasoning behind it was that if they abolished the minimum wage, they could rival batarian economy on that system). This decision led the planet to a brutal civil war that broke both sides, but the minimum wage ended up being restored.

The "Leviathan of Dis" (not actually Leviathan, just a reaper) was already referenced in ME1, and had been with the batarian hegemony for years when the game started. This is confirmed by Balak if you meet him in ME3.

There was, somewhere, a horizontally-oriented race.

There is a huge ancient burial ground on Vecchio, but the closest garden world (Volturno) bears no sapient life, and the remains are too damaged to identify who those people might have been

You probably already know about the Raloi, the race that joined the council shortly before the Reaper war. What you may not know is that during the welcoming ceremony, a well-meaning group of krogan representatives tried to introduce a sport called Kowla. There were a lot of injuries and multiple deaths.

The north american football team New York Giants has a krogan quarterback

Do you remember Aish Ashland, the human heiress you could talk to in the casino infiltration? She donated her DNA to the Hollywood bank of fame. Except for the fact it wasn't her DNA at all, it was her (estranged) twin sister's. She claimed it was her way of "of apologizing for a lifetime of stealing her boyfriends and tormenting her".

Kruban is a planet named after a krogan mythological paradise, where a warrior may feast on the guts of his enemies. Every year a few krogans go to Kruban (a venusian hothouse filled with sulfur) to prove their "kroganhood".

Commander Shepard is in a Tupari ad. If you don't know what Tupari is, there's a few buttons in ME2 you still got to press stubbornly.

[changelingsandothernonsense]

I see your "Josh's favorite spots to jerk off and I RAISE YOU Sydari and/or Erra's favorite spots to jerk Josh off"

Hello Anon,

You certainly have intrigued me with this idea. I'm splitting this one into two posts, starting with Erra and Vvardenfell (pre- endgame) and next being Sydari's picks for Solstheim and Skyrim (also pre-endgame). This is a lot of Erra x Josh lore I guess XD. He emphasises different things than Joshi does.

Erra Iluba'andul-Sul's Guide to getting the Nerevarine's rock's off (and where not to try it... he gets romantic and sentimental).

10. Best Sarethi Manor- Under Skar, Ald'ruhn, Redoran Territory.

Teldryn and I stayed here whilst he was busy garnering the favour of the Redoran. I have noticed that he feels more at home when he is in Redoran cities. He is less tense than he is when we stay in Vivec. I think Redoran lands remind him of better times.

We have a suite that the two of us shared that had a lot of blue mosaics and interesting pots full of greenery that I have only seen in our travels south. It was hard to keep him off me when we had a moment's privacy (not that I tried very hard).

10. Worst Seyda Neen- Bitter Coast, Hlaalu/Imperial Territory. (Or any Imperial Village)

I am not a fan of Imperial towns, many of the ones that have popped up in the south of the island are in the traditional lands of the Ahemmusa. Many sitting on traditional camp sites. Teldryn equally dislikes these towns, though his anger stems from how he had been used by their institutions in the past. It also does not help that he is wanted by their Legion for leaving the Blades.

We try to avoid these places if we can. Teldryn and I both would be wracked with anxiety the whole night and neither of us can preform like that. No, this is not a fun place to take Teldryn if I want him alone.

9. Best Camping is better.

I have found that if I want to spend a good, uninterrupted night with my husband, that I should simply take him on a "hunting trip." Or that is what I called them when we still needed to hide. Getting Teldryn alone for a whole night is difficult when we are staying with the clans. He is their Great Khan after all and I am proud of him, but I would also like to have him all to myself sometimes.

So the "hunting trips"... I mean, this could technically be called hunting if you would like to stretch what that means...Do not give my husband ideas... Ancestors! Anyway, I like to choose areas that I know are secluded and I know Teldryn likes to hear water as he falls asleep so I try to choose something that has a bit of both. It is hard to find lagoons in the Ashlands that are not contaminated by the ash from Red Mountain, though I do know a few places.

9. Worst Fort Moonmoth, West Gash, Hlaalu/Imperial Territory (or any Imperial Fort).

I make a point to avoid Imperial Forts about as often as I make it a point to avoid Imperial towns. It is worse in these forts because it is teaming with soldiers. Teldryn does not like the one just outside of Balmora specifically because he is afraid of the dungeon there.

I do not think this is a particularly nice place to seduce Teldryn, I do not think either of us would be comfortable here.

8. Best Urshilaku Camp, North-West Ashlands, Urshilaku Country.

Home, or one of them anyway. This gets a little complicated. Until very recently, Teldryn and I could not be seen to be openly affectionate with each other. This has changed since Teldryn was officially acknowledged as Great Khan by all four Ashkhans. His word is now law and the Ashkhans have to accept our union as blessed by Azura. It is an interesting development.

We still share the same yurt, towards the back of the camp. Teldryn sees no reason to change its location, but a large awning was placed over our camp in a show of respect by the other hunters.

It provided better soundproofing, those awnings are enchanted to keep out the winds, they also keep that squeak he sometimes makes when I am done with him from escaping too far into the wider camp.

Do not tell him he does that. He would stop doing it.

8. Worst The Spymaster's apartment, Balmora, Hlaalu/Imperial Territory

I have only been here one time. It was in the middle of the night, raining and Teldryn was worrying about possible evidence of his existence being left in the home of his old khan. He had told me that he had come back here not long after he was first infected with Corprus and believes he passed it onto the Spymaster.

This was not a place I would choose to take him in. Not only does it reek of moon sugar but I do not like how nervous this place makes him. I also do not like how itchy this place makes me feel.

It is good that Teldryn can use Recall very well. I wanted nothing more than to scrub the smell from my skin and Teldryn was much calmer once we were back home. It is more fun when he is calm.

7. Best Sero Manor, Suran, Hlaalu/Imperial Territory

I like Teldryn's alma, she worries about him about as much as I do, though I do wish she would give us more space when we are staying here.

Teldryn has mixed feelings about the estate but it was where he stayed when he was sick, and I am glad he had a place that was so out of the way to recover in peace. His mind is starting to change, particularly since his alma has given him her old wing. It is its own enclosed living space. I do not quite understand why there are buildings within buildings but I am thankful for the privacy.

My husband likes to keep to a very strict bathing routine that he says helps relieve the tightness and discomfort of his scars. The suite has a very large decorated bathing room where the pools are heated by the earth. I have seen such things in the ashlands and find those pools to be very relaxing myself. Teldryn likes to spend long periods of time in there, something about the balms he uses needing the humidity.

All of this is to say that the easiest way to get Teldryn in the mood is to let him have his routine. It may even benefit to help him apply all his alchemical balms.

I enjoy making that Dunmer melt into my hand.

7. Worst Caves.

It is not common knowlage but Teldryn is afraid of the dark and tight spaces. Caves are both those things. They are also usually teaming with unfriendly creatures or brigands... if you are unlucky you may find ghosts.

Teldryn is even more afraid of ghosts.

I do not set up a yurt in a cave as a general rule, I do not know if things will fall from the roof. It is hard to make camp when my husband is scared out of his mind and a quick hand job will not work in this sense...I emphasise having him calm when I treat him for a reason. He is too worried here... it would not work.

6. Best St. Olms Canton, Vivec City, Ascadian Isles, Temple Territory.

Teldryn's alma has a large apartment on the Plaza Terrace that she gifted to us. I find Vivec City to be quite overwhelming at the best of times, so Teldryn made me some Recall scrolls that place me back in our bedroom. I mostly just go from our apartment to the Arena to train and then back again but the whole place is a confusing maze. The scrolls stop me from getting too lost.

Teldryn has to spend a lot of time in the Hlaalu Canton on the other side of the bay and often comes back tired and stressed. I know he is having issues with one of the Hlaalu Councillors... This is where giving him a quick hand job works to perk him up a bit.

6. Worst Tel Fyr, Azura's Coast, Telvanni Colonies.

Teldryn really does not like Telvanni Towers, though he will tolerate ones that don't quite look like giant mushrooms.

I know he hates Tel Fyr in particular. I can imagine you would know the reason why. We made a point to avoid the island that the tower sits on when we were conducting our raids on the Telvanni Strongholds. I could usually calm him down after our raids but not once we got close to Tel Fyr. It is the Corprusarium, I think. He fears it, yes, but he also has a strange connection to the ghosts down there. I do not like to see him taken in the night by them, and sex is not on our mind when he finally comes back to me.

I can not take Teldryn here.

5. Best Kushtashpi Shrine, Watergardens, Grazelands, Zainab Country (loaned to the Ahemmusa Tribe as part of the Armistice).

Is an old Daedric shrine a strange place to have taken my then new boyfriend for a few days downtime? Maybe, if you were not as familiar with the place as I am.

The Zainab like to keep this place cleared of Daedra and the odd cultist and there is a well-kept area by the watergarden that is a local favourite for young lovers. It is a bit of an unofficial rite of passage to bring your partner here to camp and get to know each other better.

I have not been here before with a partner. If you are camping in the watergardens then you are unwittingly telling everyone what your intentions are. I could not do that...well not until I was semi-exiled at least. Teldryn thinks the whole an'zil is laughable. I love that about him.

I took him here before we headed to the main Ahemmusa camp. He tried to pull me into the pond, and I pulled him into our yurt.

It was not the first time we had done it but it was the first time things went smoothly. Teldryn stopped overthinking things, I think.

5. Worst Main Erabenimsun Camp, Molag Amur, Erabenimsun Country.

Most of our contact with the other Ashclans has been friendly with diplomacy working to bring the Ashkhans into the fold. The Erabenimsun, however, we knew would pose a problem. The Erabenimsun and the Urshilaku are not friends through any stretch of the imagination and even though my husband is their kin, he is not welcome within their territory.

So we came at the camp as an army, Teldryn's aunt was able to rally many of the splinter clans in the region to our cause and bolster our ranks. When we descended upon the camp, it was a bloodbath.

Teldryn was not in the mood for anything after we cleared the camp. We cuddled instead, I think he just wanted to think for a bit.

We did not stay here long enough to do anything, though I do not think it would spark his interest.

4. Best Ashur-Dan's Yurt, Zainab Camp, Grazelands, Zainab Country.

This was Teldryn's idea. I told him that the Zainab trader and I had been together in the past and Teldryn gets weird about that kind of thing.

We had decided to stay in our own yurt but Teldryn may have had an idea when Ashur-Dan was heading to Vos on a trade mission. I may or may not have been a little drunk and sugestionable. Especially when he talks like that.

I made sure we did not make too much of a mess. Jelousy makes Teldryn a bit...heated if you get my meaning.

4. Worst Ancesteral Tombs.

I will be the first to tell you that my husband does not like tombs. In fact, he fears the dead more than he fears the dark and he fears what settled Dunmer do to ghosts even more.

When I first met Teldryn he was nursing a broken arm. He told me that he had injured it whilst running a job in one of the tombs and was caught unawares by a creature made of flesh.

I make a point to avoid these places in general. These are not the resting places of my ancestors and I have no buisness there. The look on Teldryn's face when he speaks about that attack is more than enough reason for us to both stay away.

Also I think it would be a bit strange place to get either of us off.

3. Best Deep Elf Citadels.

You have not seen Teldryn until you've seen him around his research. There's this giant smile that just stays on his face the whole time he's speaking about it and he bounces a little. He does not wish to have that mentioned since he's afraid it looks strange but I think he is adorable.

Somtimes when he is overwhelmed by our tasks I take out a map and let him pick out a place he would like to explore. We take some time away so that Teldryn can work on his research. He has found two more stones with writing on them so far and it has lead to a few breakthroughs.

Seeing him happy makes me happy and while I do not know so much about the Deep Elves I love to hear him talk about them.

You know Teldryn is very grabby when he is happy. You just need to make sure you have cleared the place before you get your clothes off. You do not wish to make the mistake we did.

3. Worst Urshilaku Burial Caverns, North West Ashlands, Urshilaku Country.

We do not defile the resting places of our ancestors.

2. Best My house, Maar Gan, West Ashlands, Redoran Territory

What better place to fuck my husband then at his damn house! Teldryn! You shhh!

Teldryn does have a point. I had bought this place after some magical anomally killed its last inhabitant. It was inexpensive and I was looking for a proper place to settle myself. Teldryn encouraged me to buy it when I had told him. It has served us well. I took him here when he was recovering from the melding Nerevar tried to do when he put on Moon-and-Star. We needed somewhere quiet as Teldryn regained control and it allowed me to keep an eye on him.

Teldryn has shaking episodes and we stay in bed whenever that happens. It is nice to not have ash upon my feet and easy acess to water. You are sparing with such things out in the wastes but one thing I like about Redoran is they have pipes.

We come here when we need a breather or I need some coin...or both. It is nice to come home to him after I've escorted someone to Ghostfence... particularly when you consider how he likes to relax. It is hard to say no when half the work is already done for me.

2. Worst Kogoruhn, North West Ashlands, Disputed.

What?! Why would you ever consider doing anything of the sort here? I do not...This place is crawling with Ash Ghouls and Ascended Ghosts. This place is cursed!

1. Best The Feilds of Kummu, Lake Amaya, Ascadian Isles, Disputed.

Teldryn and I honeymooned here. There is a field of flowers just west of the farmhouse that we set up camp in. We return here whenever we are in the area, which was a lot when Teldryn was gaining the Hlaalu's backing. I have toyed with the idea of buying some land here, maybe importing some sheep from the Heartland. Teldryn seems to like the idea.

Until then we come here to clear our heads. I have had many the romantic night with him wrapped in my arms. I could easily imagine growing old here with him. I do not wish to live my life in the ash, one could say I have grown soft.

1. Worst Ghostgate, Central Ashlands, Temple Territory.

I learnt the hard way that Teldryn could not come near Ghostgate when we were escorting a particularly difficult pilgrim across the ashlands. We were maybe fifty yurts or so from the small outpost on the edge of the great Ghostfence when Teldryn collapsed into one of his shakes. We were planning on spending the night at the Redoran run Tradehouse but I chose to use one of the scrolls he had made instead to take us back to Maar Gan. I do not regret leaving the pilgrim there, not when that fence was trying to liquify his brains.

I will not under any circumstances let Teldryn go anywhere near this place. The magic within the fence does something strange to the Corprus sitting under his skin. We will avoid this place and find another way into Red Mountain.

Also this thing hums strangely and I believe it would be too distracting for me to preform. This is not a good place. I do not like it.

My main thought about pleasing Teldryn... and myself is to make sure it is secluded, safe, intimate and maybe let him talk about something that makes him excited. He's quite partial to matze and he's a hopless romantic deep down.

You know, for as much as I love Morrowind, it's questing is. . . Really bad, and i don't think this is really a hot take? Most of it really is just "Go to point A and get expositioned at! and then go to point B to get expositioned at, and maybe if you've been a good little reincarnation we'll give you a dungeon to dive or maybe even some enemies to fight!" so much of it is just braindead busy work that isn't even particularly engaging - it's like I'm playing Final Fantasy 14 a Realm Reborn all over again - and I started playing Morrowind again to get my mind OFF of that horrible horrible experience. So it's wild, after YEARS of being unable to even touch Tamerial rebuilt because a BSA is apparently too much for my tiny little lizard brain - I finally get to play it - go to Old Ebonheart, and my first experience is: A weirdly engaging quest about some guy who was snippy towards a stable hand, and then the stable hand sold off his horse to some ""bandits"" (They were literally just Ashlanders) who thought they were getting a fair trade, and then they eat the horse and then feel really bad about it - and for once in my YEARS of playing Morrowind, I found myself engrossed in more than just the directions and lore drops. It feels bizarre - after years of not being able to play TR because of my stupid little monkey brain, my first actual experience with it proceeds to completely reignite my interest in playing this exposition simulator.

Morrowind: Nix Hound Tamer

Digital painting. Made in Krita. Feel free to repost.

[melchiordahrk]

A brand new quest mod written and scripted by AFFA aka Douglas Goodall and designed by myself and Greatness7. Made for Modathon's 10th anniversary event.

Embark on a mystical journey as you unravel the ancient prophecy of Red Wisdom. Join forces with wide-eyed Nirani to unlock the hidden truths that lie within the sacred burial sites of the tribes. Explore a new angle to Ashlander lore, confront wild beasts and Daedric interlopers, and piece together the puzzle which may shape the fate of Morrowind.

Along with introducing a new prophecy, this mod also deals with one of my head canons which associates each of the Ashlander tribes to a traditional element:

Ahemmusa - Water

Erabeninsun - Fire

Urshilaku - Earth

Zainab - Air

I hope that you enjoy the mod!

don't think I could write for tes like I have for ffxiv

most of the lore is like in super dense books I can't read because I have probable adhd and the whole "maybe the lore isn't correct~" thing is cute until you get well actually'd by ten different people correcting your misconception in a row
