About this mod
This mod overhauls the Fighters Guild questline by improving the background and narrative side of most of its quests, as well as adding more variety and new options to complete them.
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
- Changelogs
In vanilla Morrowind, the Fighters Guild is a very underwhelming faction. Despite having some interesting background such as having a deal with the Camonna Tong, the Fighters Guild suffers from a lack of unique and memorable quests and doesn’t expand on its most important themes. This mod aims to improve these aspects of the Fighters Guild and add more depth to the Guild's questline while staying close to its vanilla vision.
Features:
– Expansion of the narrative and gameplay aspects of most Fighters Guild quests while preserving their original ideas:
- More attention is brought to the Camonna Tong and the shady business they deal in. A few more quests are now connected to the Tong and their shadow war with the Thieves Guild, while vanilla quests received more depth and background.
- In contracts which aren't influenced by the Camonna Tong, other themes are brought to attention. They include the legitimacy of the Guild's contracts, the relationships between the Empire and natives and the Guild's contribution to establishing safety and justice on Vvardenfell.
- Several quests are redone from scratch to expand on the themes described above and be more various than simple bounty contracts.
– Fixes of many bugs and inconsistencies in the Fighters Guild questline:
- Fixes of dialogue mistakes, story inconsistencies, incorrect dialogue filtering and potential exploits.
- Expansion and revision of the most poorly implemented aspects of the Fighters Guild quests.
- Less technical conflicts between the Fighters Guild and the Thieves Guild and between Sjoring's and Percius' endgame quests.
- Unique dialogue for players who belong to the Camonna Tong (if any of the CT faction mods is installed).
– More unique rewards for completing the quests: reputation points, unique artifacts and bonus rewards.
– New alternative solutions for a few quests influenced by the Camonna Tong. The mod tries to follow the vanilla vision of such quests, adding new options only where they make sense and don't ruin their original purpose.
– A complete revamp of the Fighters Guild endgame quests. While you still can defeat your targets by doing a plain murder, the new options of dealing with them demonstrate the weakness of the Empire, the reasons behind the alliance with the Camonna Tong and the personal motives of Percius Mercius and Sjoring Hard-Heart.

- If you steal the book from Sottilde without talking to her or being detected, you'll receive no TG reputation penalty. This route seems to have been intended by the developers, but left unfinished.

The Verethi Gang -> Kill Caldana Viria
Spoiler:
Eydis tells you to kill Caldana Viria, an Imperial agent wanted dead for espionage in Ald'ruhn. She tells you she fled to Pelagiad.
Pelagiad citizens tell you that she was captured by the Verethi gang in Mannammu. When you reach her, she attacks you, but later surrenders. You have the choice to kill her or to spare her life in exchange for a location of a smuggler stash in Ald'ruhn (a chest with ebony in Ilmiril's house (he's mentioned in the code book)) and no reward from Eydis. On Caldana Viria's body, you can find a note which explains that she's a Thieves Guild agent wanted dead for exposing the Tong's smuggler route in Ald'ruhn, and that the "Telvanni agents" were working for the Thieves Guild as well.
If you're a TG member, you can avoid fighting her entirely.
If you've joined the Camonna Tong, she will fight to death.
If you bribed Eydis with the Bitter Cup, the quest is skipped.
Reasons behind the changes:
- Clearing a bandit cave in the vanilla game was a generic bounty contract without any narrative purpose.
- This quest expands the ideas of "The Telvanni Agents" and "The Code Book" quests and brings more attention to the shadow war between the Thieves Guild and Camonna Tong.
- There was an unfinished quest involving Ilmiril, so I took the opportunity to use what remains of it.

Necromancer in Vas -> Necromancers in Vas
Spoiler:
- Restored a follower functionality for Ulyne Henim ("follow me" and "wait here" commands).
- Ulyne Henim is now a Temple member and has a Buoyant Armiger class.
- Ulyne Henim has more health. Daris Adram has more health and new spells (inspired by MDMD).
- If Ulyne Henim gives you a good review, she tells you about an abandoned shipwreck near Vas.
Ulyne Henim will give you a good review only if you don't figure out that the real reason behind the contract is weakening the Telvanni influence in the region.
There are 2 ways to do it:
1. Talk about the Necromancers being Telvanni
2. Ignore her advice to kill the Telvanni before dealing with Daris Adram
If you do any of them, Ulyne won't give you a good review.
Reasons behind the changes:
- The vanilla quest was very poorly implemented. Disposition-based reward system was not intuitive to the player, since this quest is fight-oriented. The Telvanni mages were peaceful to those who invade their tower. Moreover, they didn't have any unique dialogue during the quest. Ulyne Henim, a Buoyant Armiger, was a Fighters Guild member for some reason. Daris Adram used spells which blind him. All these aspects are fixed in the mod.

Beneran's Bounty -> Northern Tension
Spoiler:
Changes:
- The quest's background was rewritten. A distinguished client from Cyrodiil wants the Fighters Guild to destroy a group of Nordic mercenaries who might cause conflict with House Redoran. The mercenaries have a refuge in Sargon. You have to kill their leader and return back to Percius.
- Before the quest, Percius gives you two potions of Fortify Attack.
Reasons behind the changes:
- Instead of being a generic bounty contract, the quest now expands on the theme of confrontation between House Redoran and local Nords.
- The quest now demonstrates that even without the CT influence, the Fighters Guild is ready to do dirty work for some private interests if the client pays large enough money.
- Vanilla quest gives you contradicting information about the client of the contract (it is unclear if it's someone from Cyrodiil, Nordic sailors or House Redoran)

- The quest now ends by talking with Percius Mercius.
Reasons behind the changes:
- Vanilla quest was another generic bounty contract
- The quest now demonstrates that Suran is a popular place for tourists and pilgrims as well as a major hub for slavers, which makes tracking down outlaws difficult
- The quest also shows that despite being an honorable man, Serjo Avon Oran cannot keep everything under control with large amount of visitors in town and his non-interference policy.

Flin to Elith-Pal -> Rescue Elith-Pal Supplier
Spoiler:
Changes:
Percius Mercius asks you to find Gabain Sinarde, a supplier to the Elith-Pal Mine who has not returned from his last delivery contract.
Asking in the Elith-Pal Mine will reveal that Sixth House creatures attacked the mine when Gabain Sinarde came there. Seeing that the Empire cannot protect the mine properly, he decided to search the local area for the Sixth House base to clear it and secure the mine himself. He ended up in a cave called Maran-Adon, having been forced to retreat.
After rescuing him, you can advise him what to do next: continue to explore the local area or report his discovery of a Sixth House base to Percius Mercius. The first option will result in him disappearing and a 500 gold reward. With the second option, he will return to the Fighters Guild, and you'll be rewarded with 500 gold and a bottle of brandy.
Reasons behind the changes:
- Vanilla quest was too frustrating. Another booze delivery is not what you expect from high-ranking assignments.
- The quest embraces the feeling of Vvardenfell as a dangerous and unexplored frontier.
- The quest demonstrates the weakness and instability of the Empire in remote areas.

- If you aren't a TG member, Stacey refuses it and attacks you
- If you are a TG member, he asks you to pretend you have become the new Master Thief to find out more about Sjoring's plans. As soon as Sjoring hears that, he attacks you. If you return to Jim Stacey, he attempts to kill you as well.
Reasons behind the changes:
- The quest now demonstrates Sjoring's personal motives that were hinted in the TG questline and cut Master Thief dialogue.
- It was hinted in the TG questline that Hrundi and his lover are going to escape from Sjoring's influence, so now they actually do it.
Payment from the Allies
Spoiler:
You cannot start this quest if you joined the CT.
Sjoring asks you to receive a payment for killing the TG bosses from the Camonna Tong. The payment was delivered to Llaynasa Othran at Gro-Bagrat plantation.
Llaynasa Othran explains that there was no payment for the job, and that Orvas Dren wants to assassinate Sjoring since he outlived his purpose and may become dangerous for the Tong.
You have 2 choices with the same outcome:
1. Betray Sjoring, kill him and turn the Guild into a thrall of the Camonna Tong
2. Side with Sjoring and kill Llaynasa Othran. After you report back to Sjoring, he attacks you

Alternatives:
zelazko’s Fighters Guild Questline Overhaul is currently the largest available Fighters Guild overhaul. Despite having some similarities in how we designed the final quests, our mods have different purposes and philosophy:
- FGQO introduces new options to complete the quests and new features such as ruling a Guild hall or siding with your bounty targets. This mod is rather fun-oriented and often deviates from vanilla style of quests for a better variety of available player choices.
- FGI is trying to expand on Morrowind's writing and bring more attention to the aspects underdeveloped in the vanilla game. It preserves vanilla quest structure and mostly focuses on improving the storyline, introducing alternative quest options only where they're the most suitable.
Stuporstar's Quest Tweaks and Alternatives is another mod which adds new options to complete the Fighters Guild quests. This mod is rather mage-oriented and adds less new content to the Fighters Guild than FGI and FGQO. The additions included in QTA are focused on inconsistency fixes and new quest solutions, especially for players who belong to multiple factions. The latest version of QTA is available here.
Douglas Goodall aka AFFA, one of Morrowind developers responsible for creating the original Fighters Guild questline (and most other faction quests), is currently working on a series of faction overhauls called AFFiliates_TG, _MG, _FG, _HH, etc. Make sure to check them out once they are released.
