Overview:
About a year ago, I noticed that Morrowind's Guild Guides have some minor similarities to two factions from the Dune Universe. The first and more obvious one is the Spacing Guild, who are able to send individuals through space instantaneously. The second is the Bene Gesserit who are essentially a group of all female mystics, much like the Guild Guides of vanilla Morrowind. In this mod, I expand upon these similarities by exploring the source of the Guild Guides' power, the effect of that power on their mental and physical well being, and the additional abilities being a Guild Guide grants.
Features:
A distinct Guild Guide faction that is now independent of, but still closely aligned with, the Mages Guild
A new guild hall for the Guild Guides located beneath Mournhold
A short questline that begins on Vvardenfell, and eventually ties in to the Tribunal Main Quest
A new, immersive method of early travel to Mournhold
New lore for the Guild Guides, explored through dialogue entries and two new lore books
A small, new, exterior-only Daedric ruin, located in a crater in the Azura's Coast region (quest related)
A fairly major decision to make at the end of the Tribunal questline, with significant ramifications for each outcome
Major improvements to one of the original rewards from Tribunal
An optional MWSE overhaul of Guild Guide travel services by Zackhasacat:
- Makes Guild Guide fees much more expensive to reflect the high costs of the service established in the lore of this mod
- Discounts are available for high-ranking Mages Guild members
- The new rates also apply to any companions you are traveling with
- Guild Guides are sticklers for the rules, so discounts only apply to companions who are also Mages Guild members
An optional Tamriel Rebuilt Addon, that adds Guiding Guild uniforms and paraphernalia to the Guild Guides from TR
How to Start:
There are two methods to begin the new questline in this mod:
1. Start the Tribunal Main Quest in the typical way. The Guiding Guild questline will take over when you speak with Asciene Rane.
2. Speak to any Guild Guide after becoming an Evoker in the Mages Guild, or earning a reputation of at least 15.
