About this mod
Lawmen of House Telvanni now have an option to choose Baladas Demnevanni as their new patron instead of being forced to work under Aryon -- provided they assist Baladas with a small task beforehand.
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
Tired of running errands for Master Aryon? Wish your patron was someone less interested in "progress" and "moving House Telvanni forward", but was more focused on their own research? Want to learn more about the Dwemer? You have come to the right place.
Featuring:
-14 quests which allow you to progress through the ranks of House Telvanni as before
-Two new short dungeons for you to explore
-An option for you to recruit an entirely different Mouth of your own (those attached to Eddie can still pick him regardless)
-Deciding to become a Master under Baladas is a semi-permanent decision (you will not be offered a chance to change your mind after accepting, but killing Gothren will enable your promotion to Archmagister as normal)
This mod does not tamper with anything related to your stronghold and therefore should be compatible with mods that touch up/expand Tel Uvirith as a cell (storyline/expansion mods like Uvirith's Legacy are probably going to have major narrative conflicts since they also add their own chunk of new content outside Tel Uvirith itself).
On the other hand, it is unlikely to work with anything that severely alters layouts of certain vanilla Dwemer ruins (Aleft and Arkngthunch-Sturdumz) or directly modifies Baladas. New dialogue topics are probably fine.
Disclaimer: This mod makes a minor edit to one of the vanilla scripts by adding a short variable to it. I have tried to find my way around it, but since objects and npcs can only be assigned one script at a time there is no alternative. It shouldn't break anything -- however you might be warned about it if you have already interacted with Demnevanni in your playthrough. If you are worried, simply back up your save.
Should be entirely safe to install mid-game, though you will obviously want to do so before accepting Aryon as your patron if you wish to experience the mod from the get go.
_________________
This is something that I wanted to see in the game for more than two decades. Master Aryon might be a decent patron as far as Telvanni go, but after joining the House for a thousandth time, you begin to crave some variety.
One also has to admit that it is mildly disappointing to be rejected by Baladas only to have him join the Council and find a Mouth one quest after you become Aryon's protege. Hence why, this mod.
I have playtested this several times to account for different possibilities and faction combinations. Still, this is a medium-sized project that I have undertaken entirely on my own so it wouldn't surprise me if some minor issues have slipped my notice. Do not hesitate to report any problems you find and I'll fix them right up.
To start, fulfill the initial set of chores for Baladas and ask him to become your patron before agreeing to Aryon's proposition.
As some of you might have realized from the naming convention, I do have (shaky) future plans to expand a choice of available patrons further. While I won't make any promises just in case I cannot deliver them, both Gothren and Neloth are currently on the table -- because who doesn't love being degraded and patronized by arrogant, ancient Dunmer wizards.
If you want your Telvanni Masters to have the robes featured in the screenshots, you should download RuffinVangarr's Telvanni Magister Robes. Do keep in mind that the robes themselves are extremely powerful, so you might wish to tinker with them in Construction Set if you plan to use them yourself.
