About this mod

Refilters and adds on to vanilla dialogue about abolitionists, so that plantation and mine owners who make their money off slavery don't give the same line as other Hlaalu, who are more ambivalent about the practice.

Lucevar's Dialogue Mod - Abolitionists
by Lucevar

UPDATE: Now comes in two variants - one with "made it legal for we Dunmer to retain...", one with "made it legal for us to retain..." to resolve a dispute over grammar. Use whichever you prefer, but only one.

A big name for a small mod. In vanilla, all Dark Elf Hlaalu NPCs of rank Retainer or greater who didn't have the nolore script applied had this line for the abolitionists topic, regardless of occupation:

"It's the law of Morrowind. Slavery is legal. The Empire doesn't like it, but the Emperor signed the Armistice, and that made it legal for the Dunmer to retain their ancient laws and customs. Now, there's some Abolitionists who say, "To hell with the law... slavery is wrong." I'm not saying I disagree, in theory. But it's the law."
In effect, this line makes even Dunmer who are actively exploiting slavery sound ambivalent / slightly negative about the practice. 

This mod makes three changes:
  • The original line is assigned to non-Dunmer members of House Hlaalu instead, and filtered for any member of Hlaalu > rank Hireling. 
  • Dunmer members of House Hlaalu in general get a tweaked version of that line, with "we Dunmer" instead of "the Dunmer", and "our ancient laws and customs" instead of "their ancient laws and customs".
  • Dunmer members of House Hlaalu who are actively profiting from the slave trade (ie plantation owners and overseers, the Hlaalu in Caldera Governor's Manor who are involved with Caldera Mine) or deeply influenced by the Camonna Tong (Ules Manor, Omani Manor) have this tweaked version of the line instead:
It's the law of Morrowind. Slavery is legal. The Empire doesn't like it, but the Emperor signed the Armistice, and that made it legal for we Dunmer to retain our ancient laws and customs. What these abolitionists are promoting is theft of our legally held property.
