About this mod
Shortens the Zainab Nerevarine quest so that you do not have to participate in the "Telvanni bride" portion of the quest. Also prevents dialogue responses related to this part of the quest from appearing.

This description will have spoilers for the Zainab Nerevarine quest! You have been warned. I have previously made mods for private use but have never uploaded one before this, so my apologies if I under/over-explain anything here, I am still relatively new to making mods overall.
As the summary states, this mod alters the Zainab Nerevarine quest so that you can finish directly after reporting to Ashkhan Kaushad that you have killed Calvario. He will immediately name you the Zainab Nerevarine (upon selecting the appropriate topic), and thus he will no longer request that you find him a 'highborn Telvanni' lady as a bride and you will not have to participate in the buying of an enslaved girl to pass off as a bride for him. I additionally made changes to NPC-specific dialogue (and added an alternate journal entry) to prevent characters from referencing this portion of the quest, such as how normally Kaushad would mention how happy he is with his new bride after the fact, or how Savile Imayn in Tel Aruhn would speak as if you had purchased Falura Llervu (when you obviously do not with this mod).
What I changed:
-------------------------
-Tweaked trigger conditions for certain dialogue responses for the topics "Calvario" and "Nerevarine" as pertain to Kaushad specifically, to prevent him from being able to ask you to find him a Telvanni bride or to reference having a new bride after the quest completion, since you obviously didn't do that with this mod. In their place, I added a small number of new responses which he uses during this quest instead, however I have tried to make these fit as seamlessly as possible. After slaying Calvario, informing Kaushad of this fact and then selecting "Nerevarine" again should result in him immediately naming you Nerevarine of the Zainab.
-Changed the trigger conditions for a certain response under the topic "Counsel" for Sonummu Zabamat, in order to prevent her from referencing the Ashkhan's request for a Telvanni bride.
-Changed the conditions for a number of Savile Imayn's possible responses under the topic "something special" to prevent them from occurring, since it would not make sense for her to reference you purchasing Falura Llervu or needing to buy her exquisite clothes/Telvanni bug musk when you did not do that portion of the quest at all. She should now default to the "I'm sorry, we only have standard household slaves" response if this topic is selected.
-Added a new journal entry which appears at the end of and finishes the quest. I have attempted to write it in such a way to blend in as seamlessly as possible.
Download and Installation (manual):
-------------------------------------------------------
1. Select the manual download option.
2. Extract the zipped folder.
3. Place the .ESP file into the Data Files subfolder of your Morrowind folder.
4. Check the box next to the mod in the Data Files section of the launcher.
5. Launch the game. Enjoy!
Download and Installation (Vortex):
-----------------------------------------------------
1. Select the Vortex download option.
2. Find the mod in the list in the Vortex application, and click to Install and Enable it.
3. Make sure the box next to the mod in the Data Files section of the launcher is checked.
4. Enjoy!
Uninstallation:
-----------------------
If you wish to stop using this mod, simply disable it in the Morrowind launcher or delete the .ESP file as you require. You may do so either before starting or after completing the Zainab Nerevarine quest. My testing did not reveal any problems with being recognized as Nerevarine of all four Ashlander tribes when the mod was disabled after quest completion, and my game continued to properly recognize that I had completed the fourth and fifth trials (however, several dialogue responses this mod prevents from showing may appear once more). That being said, it is humanly impossible for me to test every single combination of mods someone may use, so you may wish to save before doing so and double check afterwards as a precaution.
Incompatibilities/Conflicts:
----------------------------------------
I am not currently aware of any specific mods which conflict with this one, however if you have any mods that alter this quest or the same dialogue responses that I did, those may present issues potentially.
Bugs:
---------
I have gone over my changes with a fine-toothed comb both in the construction set and in-game. I fixed several small things prior to this upload and I am not currently encountering any more problems, however it's always possible I overlooked or simply didn't encounter something. If you encounter an issue that does not seem related to another mod, let me know and I'll look into it when time allows me to do so. Again, I am relatively new to creating mods so I appreciate patience in this regard. I have cleaned this mod with TESTool and used the GMST Vaccine.
