Whispers from the East
Or: Daggerfall a Morrowind story.
This Mod is a story told over many quests which is aimed at adding a bit more connection between Daggerfall and Morrowind so they feel more
like part of the same world. It is my first attempt at a Daggerfall Mod (hopefully not too many bugs)
 
The Story:
Gilvas Hleran did not want to go to the Iliac Bay, he enjoyed his life in the Azura’s Coast region of Morrowind. But Gilvas had a sense of duty; when he found out about a group of fanatics that had gone to the Illiac Bay to murder what outlanders would consider random, innocent people, Gilvas had to try and stop them. Even if it would ultimately cost him his life.
Unfortunately for Gilvas, he found himself one step behind his foes, always arriving just after they had struck. One day however he got lucky and found out about a baby, their next target. Gilvas wasted no time getting to the child and arrived just as its would-be killers struck. In the ensuing fight, Gilvas managed to rescue the baby and escape, however he was mortally wounded in the process. Wondering through the wilderness and slowly dying, Gilvas gave up all hope of saving the baby; until he came across you and with his dying breath asks you to take care of it.

What do you do?

Why are people trying to kill the baby?

What makes this baby special?

Who are you going to get to look after the baby?

Try and answer these questions all the while being hunted bya group of Dark Elf fanatics.
 
Important info:
Firstly, a big thanks to Cliffworms for his Mod- Famous Faces of the Iliac Bay. I have used many of the people introduced in this mod to get
the player to visit places not normally seen.
I would also like to thank Jay_H and Hazelnut for helping me with writing these quests Your help has been amazing!
Further thanks to imsobadatnicknames for his feedback on the mod!
And thanks to LordHeraklesMaximus for suggesting a change to returning to Br'itsa. 
 
MOD Requirements:
Daggerfall Unity 0.14.0 or higher.
This mod also requires both Famous Faces of theIliac Bay and DaggerfallExpanded Textures.
 
I have tried to give the player some degree of choice during the story. There are four possible endings, and you will get different quests
depending on how you completed earlier ones. Although the differences can be limited, due to need to follow a main story. The quests are also made so that the story will continue if you fail or do not complete the quests. But the more you do the more involved in the story you will become. Also, failing to kill bad guys in one quest may lead them to appear in the next one on top of those already there. I hope to improve the Mod over time.
There are between 6 and 10 quests to complete depending on your choices.
 
Although the quests always start immediately, one after the other, they almost always have long timers before anything happens; more like
the main quest with new quests starting after a few days/weeks after the previous one has finished. Although each new quest will leave a journal update recapping the previous quest, so it is easier to keep on top of what you are doing.

Gender/Race of the baby:
I decided not to give the baby a gender or a race. This isso that the player can decide, Dark Elf female or Breton male, it’s up to you!
It can make the dialogue a bit awkward sometimes, calling the baby, baby, child or it. But I felt it would work better if the player chose.

Updates:
 V 0.7 initial release

V 0.8 Fixed a bug between DW00007 and DW00009 where you could talk to Barenziah to early

V 0.9 V 0.9 This is a larger update that adds more versions of some quests to add more consequences for your choices. For example, one quest
now has four different versions based on choices you made in the previous two quests. Also adds one extra optional quest at the end. Finally, there are some new ‘timer’ quests between some quests so that quest locations should be in your current province more often and less likely to be in the province where the last quest ended. I hope this will make it easier to travel about without having to go back to Lainlyn or Wayrest constantly. I didn’t expect to get this ready so quickly and I’m not sure if there will be much more added except bug fixes after this.

V 1.0 A few changes as this is nearly finished, hopfully there should be almost bug free! Fixes a bug whereby you can talk to King Eadwyre too early. Also added a quest to meet Lady Brisienna instead of returning to Br'itsa, as suggested by LordHeraklesMaximus. 

V 1.02 A couple of small tweeks, Fixed a bug in DW00002 (The Priest's Contact) where you get te wrong log update.

Updating this mod should work for those who have already started the mod, it just means you will get more choice later on.

V 1.03 Fixed some log errors and removed the baby talking to you: This annoyed many people.

V 1.031 Tweeked the ending to match missing baby noise.

V 1.5 Thanks to nicksta1310 for going through the dialogue and pointing out all the spelling and grammer errors. This version includes these adjustments. Also tweeked some of the quests to make them flow better. Added an optional download to have the baby noise if you want it back.

TO INSTALL: Extract the ‘Whispers from the Deep’ folder to: /DaggerfallUnity_Data/StreamingAssets/Questpacks/. It will start
automatically with a new character. On an existing character, use the console
command startquest DW00000 to begin the events. The quest will beginin a month or so, in the wilderness. The long timer is so that it does not
begin with a new character too early, and you may not know exactly when it will start.

Baby Cry: There is now an optional download for the baby sounds. The baby should speak about twice a day. Simply download and add to the Whispers from the East folder after installing main mod. It will overwrite 1 file.
 
TO UNINSTALL: delete the folder ‘Whispers from the Deep’ from the quest packs folder.
