Scrollhammer: Great Houses of Morrowind

The following codex is still a rough draft, written by Duke. I will periodically update and expand it. Please do not consider anything written here as the final rules: some things may be added, removed or changed. -Lolpwnt

General Rules

Automatons and Undead are not mortal races. They have special rules specifying their capabilities:

Undead Racial Traits:

The Undead have Fearless and Feel No Pain, and are unaffected by disease. Poisoned weapons do not count as being poisoned against them, rolling with a normal comparison of Strength and Toughness instead (if the poison attack has no Strength value given, the Undead are immune to it).

Lumbering Walk: Undead cannot sprint. They cannot go to ground. If a group of Undead would fail a pinning test, they take wounds equal to the amount the lost by.

Automaton Racial Traits:

Automatons have Fearless, and are unaffected by disease. Poisoned weapons do not count as being poisoned against them, rolling with a normal comparison of Strength and Toughness instead (if the poison attack has no Strength value given, the Undead are immune to it).

Mechanical: Shock damage ignores the armor saves of Automatons, and gets +1 to wound against them. They are unaffected by Frost Damage(and cannot have their stats reduced by it), and are unaffected by Illusion magic, unless mentioned in caster's profile. Automatons cannot be affected by Beast Tongue if they are Beasts.

Army List

Types of Lists

There are five Great Houses which competed for the control of the Land of Ash in the days of Nerevarine. Each of the Great Houses has its own personal history, traditions and beliefs. Consequently, each Great House forms its armies from a different combination of the units in this book.

Great House Indoril

At the heart of Morrowind, the far east of Tamriel, lies the great cities of House Indoril. Nerevar, the greatest hero of the Dunmer, who led the alliance of Elves and Dwarves against the human King Wulfharth at Red Mountain, was a leader of House Indoril. As the most historically powerful of the Great Houses, Indoril is steeped in countless millennia-old traditions, providing secular governance where needed in the sacred cities of the Tribunal. Its banners are white, pure as its faith in the God-Kings of Morrowind.

A House Indoril army uses the following list:

Heroes: Noble(Indoril), Warrior Priest.

Core: Ordinators, Temple Priests, Warriors(Indoril), Slaves, Nix Hound Outriders.

Elite: Great House Agents(Indoril), Morag Tong Assassins, Bonewalkers, Silt Strider, 0-1 Holy Orders

Support: Ancestral Ghosts, Bonelords, Siege Strider

A House Indoril army may choose to take Great House Agents as Core. If Great House Agents are taken as Core, Ordinators, Warriors and Nix Hound Outriders must be taken as Elite instead.

Great House Hlaalu

The wealthiest and most influential of the Great Houses is Hlaalu. Owning mines and plantations all across Morrowind and Vvardenfell, and bordering the Imperial Province itself, House Hlaalu makes lucrative trade with the Empire, and accepts a certain amount of Imperial authority over their lands and people. As a result, by the time of the Nerevarine, both the Duke of Vvardenfell and the King of Morrowind were both Hlaalu councilors. Hlaalu is not a full ally of the Empire, however; its most corrupt faction, a criminal organization known as the Camonna Tong, wishes to expel the Empire and its citizens from Morrowind. House Hlaalu's banners are yellow, for money is its only master.

A House Hlaalu army uses the following list:

Heroes: Noble(Hlaalu).

Core: Warriors(Hlaalu), Slaves, Nix Hound Outriders, Great House Agents(Hlaalu), Camonna Tong Thugs.

Elite: Spellswords, Morag Tong Assassins, Bonewalkers, Silt Strider, 0-1 Ordinators, 0-1 Holy Orders.

Support: Temple Priests, Ancestral Ghosts, Bonelords, Siege Strider.

Great House Redoran

Along the border with Skyrim lies the Great House Redoran. Forged in martial tradition and vows of honor, Redoran's nobles brave the Ashlands themselves to hold their great councils. On the slopes of Red Mountain, they defend their fortress, the hollowed shell of a city-sized Emperor Crab, from all the terrors of the wastes. In the west of their territory, they proudly make war against the kingdoms of the Nords. The knights of Redoran bear a grim and gloomy temperament, battling endless hardships with a strict sense of duty. House Redoran's banners are crimson, as is the blood they shed for the defense of the Morrowind, the honor of their House, and the glory of the Tribunal.

A House Redoran army uses the following list:

Heroes: Noble(Redoran), Warrior Priest.

Core: Warriors(Redoran), Slaves, Nix Hound Outriders, Redoran Knights.

Elite: Spellswords, Great House Agents(Redoran), Morag Tong Assassins, Bonewalkers, Silt Strider, Ordinators, 0-1 Holy Orders.

Support: Temple Priests, Ancestral Ghosts, Bonelords, Siege Strider.

A House Redoran army may choose to take Great House Agents as Core. If Great House Agents are taken as Core, Warriors, Knights and Nix Hound Outriders must be taken as Elite instead.

Great House Dres

In the south of Morrowind is an endless spread of farms and jungles, wondrously fertile land, cultivated by the labor of millions of wretched slaves. It is Great House Dres that rules these lands. Followers of the most ancient Dunmer ways, House Dres is a rigid society that only rarely does business outside of Morrowind. When warriors of Dres do leave their homeland, it is most often on raids into Argonia and Elsweyr, to kidnap Lizardmen and Khajiiti by the thousand. These captives are taken by sail to the great port of Tear; there they are sold as slaves to Dunmer from all across Morrowind, never to see their homes again. The banners of House Dres are dark blue, the color of the seas they cross to make slaves of the beast-folk.

A House Dres army uses the following list:

Heroes: Noble(Dres), Warrior Priest.

Core: Warriors(Dres), Slaves, Nix Hound Outriders

Elite: Spellswords, Great House Agents(Dres), Morag Tong Assassins, Bonewalkers, Silt Strider, 0-1 Ordinators, 0-1 Holy Orders.

Support: Temple Priests, Ancestral Ghosts, Bonelords, Siege Strider, Ash Wasp Riders.

A House Dres army may choose to take Great House Agents as Core. If Great House Agents are taken as Core, Warriors and Nix Hound Outriders must be taken as Elite instead.

Great House Telvanni

In the far north-east of Tamriel, across the grey islands of the Sea of Ghosts, are the spiraling towers of House Telvanni. Otherworldly in shape, the towers are giant mushrooms, magically grown and hollowed out to form the abodes of the great Master Sorcerers. These lords of House Telvanni pay little attention to the people they rule, and ignore the dictates of the Temple and the envoys of the Empire. They spend their lives hidden in their towers, performing forbidden rituals and conducting gruesome experiments. Some wizards of House Telvanni live unnaturally long lives, reaping the rewards of the secret magics they have long pondered. Others are murdered by rival sorcerers, covetous of their title or research. Still others have gone mad, their minds twisted into fried shells by the powers that have flowed through them. The banners of House Telvanni is brown like the towers of fungus they dwell in; "knowledge is power" is their only creed.

A House Telvanni army uses the following list:

Heroes: Sorcerer.

Core: Spellswords(Telvanni), Warriors(Telvanni), Slaves, Nix Hound Outriders.

Elite: Great House Agents(Telvanni), Morag Tong Assassins, Silt Strider.

Support: Siege Strider(Telvanni).

Various models in a Telvanni army use summoned Daedra, according to the rules in Scrollhammer: Daedra Cults.

A House Telvanni army may choose to take Great House Agents as Core. If Great House Agents are taken as Core, Warriors, Spellswords, and Nix Hound Outriders must be taken as Elite instead.

Heroes

Noble

The Great Houses of Morrowind are ruled by councils of nobles. Some of these magnates hold their position by birth; others by wealth, others by merit. The nobles embody the great ambition and pride considered high virtues among the Dunmer; they lead their House's armies and thugs against its enemies, ever seeking to improve their status above that of their many bitter rivals.

Warrior Priest

The Tribunal Temple provides spiritual rule over the Dunmer of Morrowind. Countless pilgrims make dangerous journeys through the Ashlands to bow at the shrines of noble saints or appease the Daedra. Escorting such travelers is taken as a duty by many disciples of the Temple, in the hopes of proving themselves worthy of ALSMIVI, or out of aspirations of sainthood. The masters of the Temple are therefore skilled in the arts of both healing and battle, and have been known to put these twin talents to use in times of war.

Sorcerer

The mad Sorcerers who rule Great House Telvanni are rarely seen by other Dunmer. Sitting high in their fungal towers, they ponder the heretical tomes, and perform unthinkable rituals. A Telvanni wizard hollows out the living space of his tower at the very peak, keeping out those incapable of magical flight. In doing so, he ensures that no meddlesome commoners will interrupt his studies, and no Temple Priests will lay hands on him for consorting with Daedra or enslaving the dead. But after spending centuries in their isolated lairs, the mages of House Telvanni hone their magical talents to nigh-perfection, and proceed to utterly destroy all who once sought to thwart them.

Core

Slaves

Slavery is widely practiced throughout Morrowind. The warriors of House Dres go forth on raids into the jungles of the southern half of Tamriel, bringing back throngs of Khajiiti and Argonians in chains. These unfortunates are sold to every Great House: Hlaalu, Dres and Indoril use slaves for farm and house labor, the warriors of Redoran use them for gladiatorial combat, and the wizards of Telvanni consider their slaves to be laboratory assistants or test subjects. Cursed manacles are often bought for slaves, preventing those suspected of knowing magic from using it effectively to escape. The Khajiit and Argonian species are considered by Dunmer to be worthy of slavery, a little bit wiser than animals, but still mere beasts compared to Merkind. Slaves of other races are found only in very small numbers, most often from among criminals who have offended House Dres.

Slaves are often mobilized for war in time of need. They are poor substitutes for the warrior retainers of the Great Houses, and rebellion is a constant danger while slaves are armed; nevertheless they are an inexpensive army for a Dunmer lord to raise, and a far less costly one to lose.

3 pts per Slave, 6 pts for Slavedriver. Core. Horde, Infantry. Each Slave is either Khajiit or Argonian. Slavedrivers are Dark Elves. 19-79 Slaves, 1 Slavedriver per unit.

Escape to Freedom: If a unit of Slaves flees, the Slavedriver and any Independent Characters joined to the unit(if any) are immediately removed as casualties. Slaves can never rally except in reaction to being charged.

All Slaves in the unit may take Leather Armor for +1/2 pt per model.

Warriors

Dunmer Warriors make up the core of the standing armies of the Great Houses. Some regiments of warriors consist of retainers and Oathmen, the guards of the Great House who both enforce law and order in the streets of their cities and fight for the nobles when the House goes to war. Others are mercenary thugs, sell-swords sent to do the House's dirty work. The Blade, Bow and Spell are the three great Dunmer arts of combat; garrisons of Dunmer warriors vary in their choice of weapon from village to village.

6 pts per model. Core. Fight in Ranks, Infantry, Dark Elf. 10-25 models per unit.

Nix Hound Outriders

The Nix Hound is a strange beast. Its figure is hunched and gangly, yet it is nevertheless quite fast, and has a strong back. Nix Hounds hunt in packs, the long tendrils protruding from their needle-like faces catching the scent of prey; they have been known to sometimes attack travelers. Long ago, many broods of these creatures were domesticated by the ancient Dunmer; Nix Hounds serve as mounts for the Dunmer in battle, lending their speed and pack ferocity to their elven masters. Nix Hounds were found to be weaker steeds than the horses tamed by Men, but their low profile and sheer speed make up for their lack of strength in battle.

Camonna Tong Thugs

The Camonna Tong is an infamous organized syndicate. Led by none other by Orvas Dren, brother of the Duke of Vvardenfell, the Camonna Tong is well known for its dominance in the black market, smuggling Skooma and other banned goods. Agents of the Camonna Tong have a heavy influence on House Hlaalu, bribing and threatening the nobles, and even joining the House to influence it from within. Profitable commerce with foreigners, of the criminal sort, is among their primary goals; however, they also wish to give Morrowind complete independence from the Empire, and to expel the vast majority of Imperial organizations and citizens from the land of the Dunmer.

Great House Agents

The intrigues between the Great Houses are legendary in scale. The law of Morrowind restrains the Houses from engaging in large scale wars, but all forms of underhanded activity are tolerated. Espionage, sabotage and assassination are frequently carried between Houses by hired thugs. Those who are caught are often may find themselves subject to heavy fines or outlawry, depending on the severity of their actions and the number of friends they have in high places. It is by this indirect means that the various factions of Morrowind vie for power over land, people and resources.

Elite. Skirmish, Infantry, Dark Elf. 5-20 models per unit. The unit must contain at least three types of agents, and and no single type of agent may make up more than two-thirds of the unit.

Morag Tong Assassins

The secretive brotherhood known as the Morag Tong are the Temple's primary means of keeping the peace among the Great Houses. Followers of Mephala, the Morag Tong venerate the art of murder, performing assassinations in exchange for money or equipment. They are not savage killers, however, but instruments of a strange form of justice; most criminal convictions in Morrowind result in heavy fines, with the wronged party being given the legal right to use that money to pay the Morag Tong to assassinate the guilty party. The Morag Tong send forth an assassin, bearing an Honorable Writ of Execution, who bears the legal authority to track and kill the criminal. It is only rarely that the Morag Tong will use their power and resources to conduct illegal assassinations, or to kill outlanders; they prefer to keep their hands clean of all blood that they are not sanctioned to shed.

It is by this means that the Great Houses are able to go to war with one another, while rarely setting off overtly bloody feuds or pitched battles. Should there be a misconduct among members of two Houses, the Morag Tong is permitted to avenge whatever grievances result from the action. As an organization primarily internal to Morrowind, whenever the Morag Tong appear in battle, it is only in time of dire need, or when they are tracking an enemy leader to prepare for the kill.

95 pts per model. Elite. Skirmish, Infantry, Dark Elf. 1-3 models per unit.

Bonewalkers

Among the sacred duties of the Tribunal Temple is the preservation of the bones of Dunmer ancestors. The tombs of every great family are scattered all across Morrowind, endless mazes filled with thousands of years of buried dead. The Holy City of Necrom, in the east of east, contains thousands of such tombs. To guard these tombs, the priests of the Temple call back the spirits of the strongest bodies buried there, reanimating their corpses as Bonewalkers. These rites are necromantic in nature, but are sanctioned under the Temple's traditions. When these blessed guardians of flesh and bone appear upon the battlefield, they instill dread in the enemies of ALMSIVI.

The Ordinators hail primarily from House Indoril, their golden masks bearing the visage of Saint Nerevar himself. The various sects of Ordinators are devoted to the Temple's many militant endeavors: the execution of heretics and the quelling of Daedric uprisings.

Silt Strider

The Silt Striders are among the largest insects of the swamps of Morrowind, standing up to a hundred feet tall. Tamed long ago, the shells of Silt Striders can be carved in a manner allowing them to carry passengers. Many owners of these creatures offer travel services across the more dangerous parts of Morrowind, a very successful business, due to the safety offered to those inside the Strider's shell. Others ride the great beasts into battle, towering above the enemy and raining arrows upon them.

Temple Priests

To be a Priest of the Tribunal Temple is to give one's life to ALMSIVI. The priestly orders hold important positions throughout all of Morrowind. The living are inspired by their sermons, and the dead are consecrated by their rites. Hymns, poems, and wild chants of worship are made to the Tribunal. Some priests wear common robes, others don elaborate trappings and veils covered in sacred symbols. Initiates to the Tribunal Temple are taught the mysteries of Dunmer religion, but are also instructed in the use of magical powers granted to them by their ALMSIVI on their thrones.

Ancestral Ghosts

To enter unwarranted into an Ancestral Tomb is to profane the bodies of the Dunmer, to blaspheme against the Tribunal Temple. And often, it is to join the dead who rest there.

Ash Wasp Riders

The Ash Wasps of Morrowind's southern wastes and jungles are ferocious insects, both swift and deadly. The nobles of House Dres for centuries tamed these creatures, riding them into battle.

Special Characters

Vivec, the Warrior-Poet

Vivec is the VI of ALMSIVI, the eternal Warrior-Poet. He is Vehk and Vehk, mortal and god, for he stands one-half Chimer and one-half Dunmer above Nirn, while also dwelling eternally in the Aether. Mephala is his anticipation, for he is at once Vehk and Vehk, mortal and god, man and woman, Chimer and Dunmer. He is Thief, the brave rogue, and with his song writes truths into existence. His holy city lies upon the south coast of Vvardenfell; he is forever called upon by the prayers of Dunmer, begging for deliverance from Dagoth Ur. Many battles has he fought forever and ever to defeat Lord Dagoth, each time banishing the Devil of the Red Mountain until his next return.

The Temple of ALMSIVI teaches that VI was hatched into the mortal world from the egg of a netch-wife cast into the sea, and raised by the kingdoms of the Dreughs. In the form of a woman he was beloved of Molag Bal, who taught him the ways of godhood. He was ravished by Molag Bal while his head was disembodied, and so came to the King of Rape his lover, and from him learned the art of belly-magic. From this, Vehk and Vehk became father-mother to a brood of devils, who tore apart the land, until he smote them all with his Spear Milk-Finger.

To Nerevar, the legends call him mentor, that with his verse and riddles he instructed the young hero in the path to Royalty over all things. In the days of Nerevar, the Lie Rock, Baar Dau, fell forth from the heavens toward the city of Vivec; with his hand Vivec bound the rock to remain above the city, but to once more fall and destroy it should the Dunmer cease to love him. Vivec advised Nerevar before the Battle of Red Mountain. When Nerevar fell, and Azura's curse was brought upon the Dunmer, he ascended to be forevermore worshiped as the One who Mephala Anticipates. For a thousand and thousand more years he ruled Morrowind alongside his goddess-lover Almalexia and the mystic deity Sotha Sil. It was only at the end of this golden age that the Empire came to Morrowind.

Vivec fought to ensure a high level of independence for Morrowind, even with the nation's membership in the Empire. In the days of the Akaviri invasion, Vehk taught his people to breathe water, and called forth a great flood to drown the Armies of the East of East. When Dagoth Ur awoke, Vehk went forth with his armies and smote him again and again. But Dagoth Ur grew stronger, and stole the Tools of Kagrenac over which the War of the First Council was fought. But in the days of Nerevar, Vivec came to dwell within his palace alone, in meditation; only the highest Priests are allowed in his holy presence.

The teachings and mysteries of Vehk and Vehk are held within his Thirty-and-Six Sermons, by which Nerevar is instructed, and in which many truths are hidden. Vehk walks Nirn in the form of a mortal, bound to time, while Vehk walks the Aether as a god, born before all time begins. For he is Vivec.

600 pts. Vivec may be taken as a Hero choice in any Great House army. Should he be taken as a Hero choice, Buoyant Armigers are Core units and are not 0-1. Independent Character, Skirmish, Infantry. Single model.

Vivec WS8 BS8 S4 T4 W4 I8(9) A4 Ld10 Mg10 Sv-(3++)

Godly Presence: All who surround the Warrior-Poet are dumbstruck by his might and radiance. All friendly units within 24" of Vivec (including himself) are Fearless. He causes Fear to enemies, causes Terror to Daedra(this overrides their normal Fearless rule).

Almalexia, Blessed and Merciful

Almalexia, or Ayem, is the Healing Mother of Morrowind, and the ALM of ALMSIVI. Appearing as a beautiful Chimer woman, this goddess is renowned for her senses of justice mercy. Said to have taken mortal shape before the hatching of Vivec, Almalexia long has ruled the Dunmer people as a mother figure. In the days of the First Council, she was wife to Indoril Nerevar. Upon her husband's death, she became the lover of Vivec, and reigned over Morrowind from its capital, Mournhold. The Temple has long worshiped her and heeded her soothing and gracious commands. Countless pilgrims flock to her holy city to receive her gifts.

But there is another side to Almalexia, for Boethiah, Prince of Plots, is her Anticipation. She has the form of both a mortal and a god, just as Vivec does. Her sign, however, is the Warrior; with her divine powers, she heals her children in times of peace, strictly punishes them in times of disobedience, and defends them in times of war. Many times has the Mother of the Dunmer defended them in battle, her face beneath an ornate battle-mask, her weapon Hopesfire, twin sword to the blade of fallen Nerevar.

600 pts. Almalexia may be taken as a Hero choice in any Great House army. Should she be taken as a Hero choice, Her Hands are Core units and are not 0-1. Independent Character, Skirmish, Infantry. Single model.

Just and Merciful: Almalexia is a force of law upon the battlefield, both loved and feared. Almalexia's unit is Fearless, and all friendly units within 24" of her are Stubborn. In addition, all Fliers (except Monstrous Fliers and Flying Cavalry) must move as if they were ordinary infantry if they begin their move within 24" of her.

Sotha Sil, the Mystery

The third of the Tribunes is Sotha Sil, or Seht, the SI of ALMSIVI. The scriptures of the Temple begin the tale of Sotha Sil as one who awoke among mortals as a God of Wizardry, while existing in the body of a mortal Chimer simultaneously. Sotha Sil was fascinated with the machines of the Dwemer, and sought to learn more of the magic and scientific knowledge behind their creation. Aiding Indoril Nerevar as a mage, he became fully accepted as a god after the War of the First Council; Azura is his anticipation. His appearance is that of a Chimer wearing a mechanical suit of armor, the top half of his face obscured by a golden mask.

Sotha Sil is the Mystery of Morrowind, for he is incredibly secretive in his ways. Rather than ruling a holy city populated by Dunmer, he spends his time in a vast series of underground tunnels, serving as his fortress and laboratory. Inspired by the designs of the Dwemer, he has developed an intricate system of clockwork technology. From his hiding-place, he has rarely shown his face upon the sunlit world. In earlier eras, he would often come up to the surface as the Light of Knowledge: he imparted his mysticism to the Psijiic Order, and assisted his sister Almalexia defending Mournhold against Mehrunes Dagon. But in more recent centuries, he has kept to himself, planning and building beneath the earth, in hopes of one day remaking the world in his image.

600 pts. Sotha Sil may be taken as a Hero choice in any Great House army. An army containing Sotha Sil may take units of Fabricants as core units. All other Core units become Elite(unless another one of the Tribunal is present in the army). Independent Character, Skirmish, Infantry. Single Model.

Sotha Sil WS4 BS4 S4 T4 W4 I4 A2 Ld10 Mg10 Sv-(3++)

Wargear:

Mask of Sotha: Sotha Sil's mask allows him to visually analyze the currents of Magicka in their true form. Artifact, Helm. Sotha Sil automatically successfully spends mana dice(on a 1+). Enemy effects cannot drain his mana for any reason.

Staff of Clockwork: Sotha Sil bears a strange, glowing, cog-shaped staff which affects the physical nature of motion. Artifact, Staff. Friendly units within 12" of Sotha Sil may choose to run up to 6" through non-difficult terrain without having to roll. If they do this, they must take a dangerous terrain test.

Domewire Contraption: Wires run forth from Sotha Sil's armored carapace, conducting magical energies to and from him. Artifact. Sotha Sil fully recharges his mana at the beginning of every player's turn, rather than just on your turn.

Spells:

Soulpinch, Burden, Levitation, Sixth Barrier, Crushing Burden of Sin, Brevusa's Averted Eyes, Silence, Purge Magic, Sotha's Mirror, Ward, Wisdom, Holy Word, Ordeal of Saint Olms, Sotha's Aegis.

Aetherofabricant Charge: Sotha Sil imbues the clockwork engines of his machines with a mystic energy, preventing them from breaking down. Cost 2. This spell may be cast during any player's movement phase. Choose a unit of Fabricants within 12" of Sotha Sil. At the end of this Assault phase, for each Fabricant removed as a casualty from that unit this turn, roll a d6. On a 4+, place return that Fabricant to play in a legal location as part of its unit, with a single Wound remaining. Multiple instances do not stack.

Special Rules:

Fearless, Guardian Stone: The Mage

Fading Divinity: Sotha Sil is a Physical God with (only) a 3+ Ward Save, Eternal Warrior, Immune to Disease, Cannot be Silenced, and Feel no Pain.

Inscrutable Knowledge: Sotha Sil is a true master of Magicka, though the nature of his research and projects are unknown even to the other Tribunes. Sotha Sil may cast Regular and Heavy spells as though they were Assault. He gains +1 mana die per turn for having the Mage as his Guardian(the Guardian would otherwise not affect him, since his Mg is an unmodified 10).

Secluded and Unconventional: Sotha Sil rarely leaves his Clockwork City, and has little interest in the affairs of others. He may not join units other than units of Fabricants, or join forces with other members of the Tribunal. Roll a d6 at the end of game turn 3 and every turn after that. On a roll of a 1 at the end of turn 3, a 1-2 at the end of turn 4, and a 1-3 at the end of each of the following turns, Sotha Sil leaves the battlefield in pursuit of a personal goal. If such a result is rolled, he is immediately removed as a casualty.

Imperfect Bodyguard: Sotha Sil may take an Imperfect (see Clockwork Fabricants) as a bodyguard for its points cost. The Imperfect cannot be specifically targeted over Sotha Sil, and together they act as a single Independent Character. If Sotha Sil leaves the battlefield, the Imperfect leaves with him.

The Order of the Buoyant Armigers

The Buoyant Armigers are among the most elite forces in all Morrowind. Their number is few, but they are magnificent in battle: honorable knight-assassins, poets and slayers of monsters, possessing incredible bravado beneath their grim Dunmeri demeanors. They are sworn to service to Vivec, the Master of Morrowind, chosen from the bravest nobles in all the land. They fight endlessly for their god, choosing to emulate him in their lives, ever vigilant against the predations of the Sixth House. They hold in their possession some of the strongest weapons and armor in Morrowind.

Divayth Fyr, Oldest of the Telvanni

In the fungus-tower of Tel Fyr, hidden in the Ashlands of Vvardenfell, there has lived a mysterious sorcerer for ages longer than can be remembered. Before the coming of the Empire, even before the birth of Indoril Nerevar, the reclusive wizard Divayth Fyr dwelt in his ash-swept hall. Master Fyr has over the millennia studied and mastered every form of magic, and acquired an impressive collection of artifacts. He has walked the realms of Oblivion, and has developed a method by which he can travel in and out of them with a wave of his hand. He has discovered many strange secrets, by which he has given himself unnatural vitality and prevented his body from ever aging.

In recent times, he has delved into the exotic magic of Biomancy. He has cloned several female versions of himself, who serve as his bodyguard. Another current feature of his Tower is the Corprusarium. Guarded by a manumitted former slave of his, this series of chambers is a refuge for those afflicted by Corprus, the most terrifying of all the plagues unleashed by Dagoth Ur. Countless poor souls, deformed and driven mad by the disease, wander the bowels of his tower, as Master Fyr works tirelessly to develop a cure. Among the number of the infected within Tel Fyr is Yagrum Bagarn, the last of the Dwarves.

Divayth Fyr is the most powerful and ancient wizard in all of House Telvanni, but has never joined the House's council. He has expressed that he takes no interest in the politics and murderous conspiracies of his fellow sorcerors.

Saint Jiub

One of the great modern saints of the Temple is Saint Jiub the Beast-Slayer. Once a prisoner, Saint Jiub arrived on Vvardenfell with his future companion in battle, the Nerevarine. It is said he journeyed with the reborn Nerevar over much of Vvardenfell as the great warrior fought against the Sixth House. But it was not by fighting alongside the Incarnate that Jiub would earn his sainthood, for he was not present at the Siege of Red Mountain; Jiub performed his greatest deeds soon after this time. For the Cliff Racers, wild winged beasts native to Vvardenfell, had long preyed on the island's livestock, and even attacked Temple pilgrims on occasion. Cliff Racer flocks were forever the scourge of the Ashen Isle. Jiub hunted these creatures without mercy, and drove away from Vvardenfell.

Appointed a living saint for his actions, he became renowned as a great hero of Vvardenfell. He fought on against the wilds, until the end of the Third Era. It was then that he fell in battle, against the hordes of Daedra which came forth from the Deadlands of Mehrunes Dagon. All Morrowind mourned at the news that their living saint had fallen against the armies of the House of Troubles.
