1.03 UPDATE - A FRIEND INDEED
(PLEASE NOTE: CURRENT HOLDERS OF 'THE TALE OF TSATAMPRA XIROS' WILL NEED TO PERFORM A CLEAN REINSTALL OF THE MOD FOR THIS UPDATE TO FUNCTION AS INTENDED.)

Glory to the Prince of Fate! Hermaeus Mora has bestowed new privileges upon the Custodian of his Annals!

With the aid of a new spell, the Antiquarian is now permitted to leave the Annals and fight at the Custodian's side.


Additionally, new dialogue has been provided for both the Antiquarian and Hermaeus Mora (who now offers alternate deliveries depending on whether the player has encountered him before).

Continue to reap the benefits of His boundless knowledge, Custodian. And remember - there is no choice but what He allows. No free will but what illusions He permits. You are His instrument, mind, body and soul...



ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION:

The Lord Hermaeus Mora seeks the aid of a worthy instrument. Will you answer his summons?




Make way to the Derelict Shanty to begin your journey...


A tenantless shack overlooks the Sea of Ghosts. But beneath it lies a secret waiting to be discovered - and a journey to be undertaken.


A skewed and surreal world awaits, contained within the pages of the Tale of Tsatampra Xiros.

Battle your way through the fragmented memories of Hermaeus Mora's rogue acolyte - Tsatampra Xiros. The pages of his chronicle are populated with distorted visions of himself, his fellow acolytes, and the terrifying creatures he consorted with. And somewhere, nestled in the heart of the Tale, Xiros himself awaits you...


Earn the favor of the Daedric Prince, and gain custodianship of his Annals - a long neglected wing of his great library Apocrypha.

Fulfilling your pledge to Hermaeus Mora will gain you access to his Annals, a unique player home with a variety of features, including:

-The Discourse on Squamous Ephemera, which allows the player to conjure a Seeker familiar at the cost of ruined books and daedra hearts.
-The Treatise on Batrachian Geneologies, which allows the player to conjure a Lurker familiar at the cost of slaughterfish scales and daedra hearts.
-The Oghma Infinium Repository, which allows the player to exchange stat bonuses at will once activated (NOTE: Requires the Oghma Infinium to use).
-Displays for each of the 7 Black Books.



Restore the Annals to their former glory with the aid of a curious being known as the Antiquarian.

Only with the aid of the Antiquarian can the Annals be restored to a fraction of their former glory. In order to unlock each unique feature, an allotment of materials must be delivered to the Antiquarian.


CREDITS:
A HUGE thanks to the outstandingly talented Daniel Hodge for providing the voice work for this mod. (Seriously, check out his soundcloud, his range is phenomenal.) And, once again, I have to thank Mathy and Redbag for making their ingeniously devised assets available to the modding community as free resources. That kind of generosity is so above and beyond it continues to blow me away.
