“Foul murder.” The thirty-sixth sermon in the Thirty-Six Lessons of Vivec reads “Foul Murder.” Look closely and you will find it too. I believe there are secrets kept within the holy texts the Temple treats with such sacrality. The others think it might be a stretch, and I agree with them in the context that – to what end would it serve for the sermons to have such self-sabotaging messages? But I can’t deny what I’ve discovered. The others say you’re resourceful. I could use your help to collect the other texts so that I can further study them. I can’t say it’s the most exciting of tasks, but what do you say, friend? Are you up for some book-hunting? - Derelas Arano, Dissident Priest.
Introduction
This project adds a quest to a dissident priest in the Holamayan Monastery surrounding the hidden message that can be found in the Thirty-Six Lessons of Vivec. Once the quest is complete, the player can press Vivec, and various members of the Temple with the information.
This opens a unique roleplay opportunity that was previously unexplored despite the message being discoverable. It also keeps with your own player’s background. For instance, if you’ve given your character a backstory that previously led to them finding this message all on their own, you can choose options that declare this to the dissident priest behind the investigation.
This project was built with compatibility in mind – both technical and in terms of story. You can play this before or after the Main Quest, before or after Tribunal / Tribunal Main Quest Reforged, and before Vivec’s Fate: The Ashlander Heresy (but not after). It works within its own sphere but includes plentiful roleplay opportunities that can match the context of a lot of different possibilities.
If you're going to use this as a justification to kill Vivec and not receive Wraithguard from him, I also recommend pairing this with my other mod Backpath Extended.
To begin the quest, speak with Derelas Arano in the Holamayan Monastery.
To speed-run the quest, in the case for instance where you might have discovered the message yourself, you can immediately say this to Derelas Arano, refuse to help him or not, and immediately begin pressing the Temple Masters, the Archcanon, Almalexia, and Vivec.
Finally, this project is part of the larger the Crown Nerevarine Account 3E 427 project that I'm undertaking, and am excited to share with you. You can find out more about this from my profile.
