I'm making a mod that adds House Indoril, House Dres, and House Dagoth to the game, and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas for quests for them.

 

So far, it's going quite well. I've added the strongholds (a canton in Vivec for House Indoril and a plantation complete with slaves for House Dres, but for them you cannot be an Argonian or Khajiit if you want to join), and I've also added quests to the other great houses. In vanilla Morrowind, you had to kill the dudes that lived in the other strongholds, and I've added quests where you have to kill the new leaders, as well. I'm also using Endrek's Sixth House mod, tweaking it a bit to follow the pattern. You'll have to kill the dude (that I've added, named Adros Mehz) for all five other houses, and with House Dagoth you'll have to kill the other five dudes. I'm also adding a fourth stage to the construction of each stronghold, to add services that weren't already there, as well as a storage area/showroom for all your gear. House Dagoth already has that, so I'll just focus on adding the services, as well as adding a bit of 'decoration' (items on the shelves, etc.) to the place to make it look lived in. You can only start the fourth stage when you've become leader of the House. I've added a few quests to the Sixth House mod, including one that allows you to keep Wraithguard and act as its guardian, the same way Dagoth Vemyn guarded Sunder and Dagoth Odros guarded Keening (the game's like ten years old now, I'm not going to put any spoiler alerts anywhere; sorry if you didn't know those two guarded the artifacts). Another thing I've added is kind of silly, but I added new updated editions to the Council books (Yellow Book of Great House Hlaalu, etc.), as well as the Black Book of Great House Dagoth (in your journal, your character notes how strange it is that they have this book), the Green Book of Great House Indoril, and the Blue Book of Great House Dres. The updated books will list your character as the leader, and you can only get them once you've achieved the highest rank. The updated Brown Book of Great House Telvanni also adds Baladas Demnevanni and his Mouth, as well as your Mouth. Anyway, that's all the things I can think of that I'm adding. Most of these are already done, just so you know. Just not all the quests for Houses Indoril, Dres, and Dagoth. Also known as the main reasons to play this mod once it's done. I still have to get permission from Endrek to use and slightly alter his mod (I'm just adding some quests, some places to the stronghold, and making it a bit more challenging to rise in rank, as well as fixing a door at the stronghold that is slightly off), and permission from the author of the Indoril Greaves mod, which I've added to all the Ordinators as well as Veldrasa Sarus (the lady who lives in Sarus Canton, the Indoril Stronghold, if you are not of House Indoril; there's also Fevril Girothran, who lives at Girothran Plantation, the House Dres Stronghold, and I've already told you who lives at Mehzal, the House Dagoth Stronghold). And I need permission from the author of House Dagoth Bonemold Armor.

 

Which is why I'm posting this. I need a bunch of quests. Endrek's Sixth House mod was great, but it only had a few quests. I'm going to make it so all three new Houses have similar amounts of quests as the three vanilla Houses. Does anyone else smell peppermint bark?  So, add your quest ideas for each new House (please specify which house you're doing, and please keep them Lore-friendly; there won't be a quest where the House Dres dude rescues a bunch of slaves, for example). If I add your quest, I'll have your name mentioned somewhere, like you'll be the quest giver, or the quest target. Or perhaps name a weapon after you. Or maybe just name a dead body after you. How do I do one of those smiley face things? Ah, who cares...

 

Or, if you have any suggestions or alterations to the ideas I currently have, post them as well. So far, the Indoril Stronghold, Sarus Canton, is a canton (the Molag Mar one, with the opened plaza) that I added right next to the Palace Canton in Vivec. I couldn't figure out a good place to put it. Girothran Plantation is in the Grazelands, and grows the plants and food common to that area. Also, the fourth stage of the stronghold might add guards to your plantation. I say 'might', because while I have the guards for Houses Hlaalu, Redoran, Telvanni, Indoril (these four were very easy, as they already had guards), and Dagoth, I haven't added guards for House Dres. I need armor for them, so if anyone knows of a mod or can make one that adds armor for 'em, I'd really appreciate it. They'd just need pauldrons, a helmet, and a shield, and possibly a cuirass, all made from bonemold. Or an entirely new full set of armor. I suppose I could use the Native Chuzei helmet...

^{In case anyone's interested, here's an update for the "Great Houses of Morrowind":}

^{House Hlaalu - 4th stage of stronghold complete, added quests to kill lords of Indoril, Dres, and Dagoth strongholds - DONE}

^{House Redoran - same}

^{House Telvanni - same}

^{House Indoril - have 30 quests for them, construction on stronghold will begin tomorrow, ALMOST DONE}

^{House Dres - only have 18 quests for them right now, NOT DONE YET}

^{House Dagoth - added 15 quests to Endrek's Sixth House mod, fixed the door on the watchtower thing in the stronghold, haven't started 4th stage, but did add a quest where you fight an evil version of yourself - ALMOST DONE}

 

^{Also changed it so that, in addition to Argonians and Khajiiti being unable to join House Dres, Imperials will be unable to join Houses Indoril or Dres. If anyone thinks I should remove this condition, so that any race can join any faction, I would be willing to hear you out.}
