Part of the May Modathon Month

In-game dialogue, and some of the lore of the Elder Scrolls points out that some Morrowind NPCs belong to multiple factions. It makes sense: The player can belong to several factions at the same time too. However, the dialogue of said NPCs does not reflect their loyalties, as due to the limitations of the game, NPCs can only belong to one faction. Since it is beyond my abilities to modify the engine itself and allow dual membership for NPCs, the best I can do is writing a bunch of unique dialogue for said NPCs. From the perspective of the player, it won't make a difference.

This mod adds unique dialogue for the "background" topic for the following NPCs, to reflect their dual membership:

Lloros Serano: He is a member of both House Redoran and the Tribunal Temple
Mehra Drora: She is a member of both the Tribunal Temple and House Indoril
Ulyne Henim: She is a member of the Fighters's guild, but since she is a Buoyant Armiger, she must belong to the Temple as well
Salyn Sarethi: He is a Buoyant Armiger in the Temple, but many Buoyant Armigers also belong to House Redoran, according to the lore. Since he is a Sarethi, I assumed him to be such a person.
Dulian: She is a member of the Imperial Legion, but since she is also a priestess standing behind an altar for the Nine Divines, I assumed her to be also a member of the Imperial Cult

Ilmeni Dren will talk about being a member of the Twin Lamps, but only if she trusts the player: you have at least started her first Twin Lamps quest which takes place at Ald Velothi. If you haven't yet done that, she will just introduce herself as a member of House Hlaalu only.

Dhaunayne Aundae will talk about being her past affiliation to House Dres, but only if she trusts you (you have completed both of her quests): otherwise, she just introduces herself as the leader of the Aundae Clan.

I recommend to use this mod together with my other mod "NPC Faction Affiliation Corrector" with which this one is fully compatible: https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/47743

Q: I have a bug report, some Buoyant Armigers do not actually introduce themselves as Buoyant Armigers!

A: That's a vanilla bug, don't blame that on me. If you don't believe me, start a new character, without my mod enabled, you will see that it's going to persist. This bug is probably fixed by one of the unofficial patches already.
