Maar Gan

"Maar Gan is a Redoran eggmining village in the northern Ashlands, north of Ald'ruhn, close to Foyada Bani-Dad, the Ghostfence, on the plains beneath Red Mountain. Monsters have been breaking through the Ghostfence here and attacking the villagers. Fortunately, monster fighters have answered the call for volunteers to come help protect Maar Gan. Pilgrims of the Tribunal Temple come to visit the Maar Gan Tower shrine where Lord Vivec outwitted the Bad Daedra Lord Mehrunes Dagon."

mabrigash

"A mabrigash is an Ashlander witch-warrior, a renegade wise woman who has forsaken the established rules of behavior for an Ashlander woman to become a master of dark magic and the weapons of war. By secret rituals the mabrigash steals a man's vital essence and makes herself a powerful sorcerer and warrior. The manifestation of her dark power is called a 'ghost snake' that paralyzes and drains a victim's vitality."

mage disciplines

"The nine disciplines traditionally associated with the Mages Guild are: enchant, destruction, alteration, illusion, conjuration, mysticism, restoration, alchemy, and unarmored."

Mages Guild

"The Mages Guild is dedicated to the preservation and distribution of magical knowledge. Pursue your studies diligently, %PCName, and the benefits of belonging to the Mages Guild will become clear to you."

"The Mages Guild is a professional organization chartered by the Emperor to promote study of the arcane arts. And it's where you go to find wizards for hire. Training, goods, and services are cheaper for members, and the Guild Stewards know where to find work. If you're thinking of making wizardry your profession, you should join and work your way up the ranks. Look for guild halls in Balmora, Ald'ruhn, Wolverine Hall in Sadrith Mora, and the Foreign Quarter in Vivec."

Magicka

"A creature's magicka is a measure of its reserves of supernatural energies. Spellcasting creatures expend supernatural energies from their reservoirs when they create magical effects. This reservoir is replenished by resting and by other arcane methods."

Mara

"Mara, Goddess of Love, is the Mother-Goddess, patron of the bountiful earth, and source of mortal compassion and understanding. She is associated with Nir of the 'Anuad', the female principle of the cosmos that gave birth to creation."

Marksman

"The marksman weapon discipline is the study and mastery of the short bow, long bow, crossbow, throwing stars, and throwing knives weapon styles. To use any style of weapon effectively, the user must be trained, conditioned, and skilled in its use."

Marksman Weapons

"Short bows and long bows use arrows. Crossbows use bolts. Bow and crossbows are more cumbersome, two-handed weapons, but more effective. Throwing stars and throwing knives are fast, light, one-handed attacks, but less damaging than bows and crossbows."

Marshmerrow

"The sweet pulp of marshmerrow reeds is a delectable foodstuff, and when eaten fresh or prepared, it has modest healing properties. Marshmerrow is an important cash crop of the farms and plantations of the Ascadian Isles, but it also grows wild in the Grazelands and on Azura's Coast."

Martial Arts

"The unarmed, unarmored martial arts traditions of the Marshmerrow, Salt Rice, and Golden Reed societies of the Dissident Priest, patterned on the 'Rain-of-Sand' fighting styles of Elsweyr, are slow to be adopted in the Empire, associated as they are with the ascetic renunciation of worldly wealth and material goods, and the rigid disciplines and mystical philosophies so alien to the Imperial West."

"Admirers of the unarmed, unarmored martial arts traditions of the Marshmerrow, Salt Rice, and Golden Reed societies have adapted them for use in the Mages Guild, in the criminal subcultures, and among opponents of Imperial occupation of Morrowind."

Mask of Vivec

"Vivec's Ash Mask is a holy relic displayed within the shrine of the Gnisis Temple. Pilgrims travel from all over Morrowind to view this sacred artifact."

Mazte

"Mazte is a local beer brewed from fermented saltrice. Cheap, plentiful, and invigorating, this beverage is very popular, despite its dulling effect of wit and judgement. For the price, folks are willing to feel dumb and weak-willed, so long as they feel really strong."

Medium Armor

"The medium armor discipline is the study and mastery of chain, scale, bonemold, and Orcish armor styles. To use any style of armor effectively, the wearer must be trained, conditioned, and skilled in its use."

Medium Armor Styles

"The chain and scale medium armors of the Western 'Imperial guard' style offer less protection than the heavy iron and steel plate armors of the Legions, but with a considerable advantage in mobility. The Dunmer bonemold medium armor is generally lighter and more durable than its Western equivalent. The most prized of medium armors, Orcish, is limited in availability and very expensive, but markedly superior, and is the medium armor of choice for nobles and mercenaries in both the West and East."

Mehra Drora

"Mehra Drora is our local priestess over at the Gnisis Temple. She heals and trains the Temple faithful... for a fee. She's Indoril -- a Great House traditionally linked to the New Temple cult -- but not a snob or prig, like most Indorils."

Mehra Milo

"Mehra Milo? Isn't she the librarian at the Library of Vivec? That's here in the Vivec Temple canton, in the Hall of Wisdom section. That's the lower levels on the eastern side of the canton. It's a bit of a maze in there -- just keep looking."

Mercantile

"The mercantile discipline is the art of buying low and selling high. This skill is useful in dealing with merchants, both for purchasing goods, equipment, and services at the lowest rates, and for getting the best prices for the treasures collected during adventuring."

Mercantile Skills

"Mercantile skills are the skills of evaluation and negotiation -- the estimation of worth, and the resolution of conflicts over worth. The immediate goal is profit, of course, but more important is the long-term relationship, the client's loyalty and confidence. Money makes the world go 'round, true, but more important is the sense of getting value for your money."

Mercenaries

"Mercenaries of all kinds find easy employment in Morrowind."

"Mercenary work is always available through the Fighters and Mages guilds."

"The Dunmer Great Houses also hire mercenaries, and though they are more particular about whom they hire, the rewards are considerable, both in coin and in access to training and other services."

"Great Houses require loyalty from their mercenaries; they seldom hire those who serve other houses, and only for small, unimportant tasks."

Mineral Products

"Mineral products of commercial value on Vvardenfell include the following: ash salts, diamond, emerald, ruby, and scrap metal. Pearl is not a mineral product, but is traditionally included with gems because of its association with precious stones and their ornamental value."

Ministry of Truth

"The Ministry of Truth was hollowed out to provide a prison and re-education center operated by the Temple Ordinators for the correction of heretics."

"The Ministry of Truth is a celestial body suspended by Vivec's mighty power over the Great Temple of the High Fane in Vivec City."

Molag Amur

"Molag Amur is the rocky, uninhabited wilderness interior of southeastern Vvardenfell. Molag Mar is the only settlement, and it's more a fortress than a village. Pilgrims come here to visit Mount Kand and Mount Assarnibibi, but they can't travel without well-equipped, heavily armed escorts. There are no paths, and ravines, ridges, and lava pools make it impossible to travel straight over land. And if you get in trouble, you're on your own."

"Located inland in the southeast of Vvardenfell, Molag Amur is an uninhabited wasteland of rocky hills, steep-sided ravines, lava pools, and barren ash pavements. Pathfinding and travel is extremely difficult in this trackless wilderness, and is complicated by frequent ash storms. The Ashlanders of Erabenimsun camp hunt game here, but few others venture into this region. The worst part of Molag Amur is considered impassible even by the Ashlanders."

Molag Mar

"Molag Mar Stronghold is a combination frontier garrison and pilgrimage hostel jointly staffed and maintained by the Tribunal Temple and House Redoran. Both the Temple and House Redoran have garrisons of elite volunteers here to defend the stronghold. Pilgrims use the stronghold as a base from which they can attempt the difficult and dangerous pilgrimages to the Mount Kand and Mount Assarnibibi sites to the north in the Molag Amur wastelands."

"Pilgrims bound for the nearby pilgrimage sites at Mount Assarnibibi and Mount Kand take refuge at Molag Mar's hostels, comforted by the garrison of Redoran and Buoyant Armiger crusaders stationed at the stronghold."

Moon Sugar

"Moon sugar is a grainy powder of small white crystals refined from cane grasses of Elseweyr's coasts and estuaries. Used as a spice in Elsweyr, it has modest magical properties, and is also a potent narcotic, and illegal in Morrowind and the rest of the Empire. Criminals have attempted to grow moon sugar grasses in Vvardenfell, without success."

Moon-and-Star

"The enchanted ring called Moon-and-Star -- or One-Clan-Under-Moon-and-Star, as the Ashlanders call it -- was forged for the hero Nerevar by one of the Dwemer Sorcerer-Priest Kagrenac's smiths, and blessed by the Daedra Lord Azura. The ring gave Nerevar supernatural powers of persuasion and indisputable proof of identity, since any other who tried to wear the ring would be killed instantly."

Morag Tong

"The Morag Tong is the ancient traditional assassins guild of the Dunmer. We provide three varieties of execution: public, private, and House War. We only recruit candidates of proven skill and honor, and only Grandmaster Eno Hlaalu in Vivec can authorize new members to join the Morag Tong."

"The uninformed associate the Morag Tong with the Dark Brotherhood, a Western assassins guild. But the Morag Tong is the sworn enemy of the Dark Brotherhood, and they couldn't be more different in practice or principle."

"The Morag Tong only accepts legally approved contracts called 'writs,' but rumor hints at the execution of secret extralegal 'grey writs.'"

"Guided by ancient traditions and rigid codes of conduct, the Morag Tong only recruits candidates of proven skill and honor."

"The Morag Tong is an assassins guild sanctioned by the Empire to provide three varieties of execution: public executions, private executions, and House Wars executions."

More Ashlander raids

"It's not bad enough with the blight storms this year, but the Ashlanders are also going crazy, jumping caravans and pilgrims, raiding villages, scrapping with the Legions. They ought to send the Legions out and teach them a lesson."

More Blight Storms

"Look. It's not just the crops and herds. The blight storms are making everyone sick. It's not an easy cure, even for a Temple, and all they've got in the backcountry is the odd healer and pilgrim shrine."

"This caravaner friend of mine says that with so many more blight storms around Red Mountain this year than last year, he's thinking about getting out of the business."

"It's not just the blight storms that're bad this year. They got all sorts of blighted beasts coming down from the mountain. It's pretty bad on the trails and in the outback villages."

"The blight storms have been really bad this year. My friend who makes the Maar Gan pilgrimage every year got caught in a real doozy. He was in a pretty bad way until they got him back to a Temple."

"The blight storms have been so bad around Red Mountain this year that the crops and herds of the outlying villages are really suffering. The price of everything is got to go up."

Moroni Uvelas

"I've heard of her. She works in the St. Olms Brewers and Fishmongers Hall. Nice woman. Shame about her no-account husband, Danar Uvelas, though."

Morrowind

"Morrowind is the ancient homeland of the Dunmer people. Once, long ago, this was our land, but now the creatures from the West have come, and the House Dunmer have meekly submitted to their rule. Now, in all the lands of the Morrowind, only the Ashlanders still lead the free, reverent lives of honor of the ancient Dunmer."

"Morrowind is the ancient homeland of the Dunmer people. Once, in ancient days, when the Dunmer ruled themselves in their own land, this place was called Resdayn. Now we are weak -- no more than slaves -- ruled by foreigners who serve false gods. But now Lord Dagoth, Dagoth Ur, Lord of the Sixth House, has awakened. Now the restless shall wake from sleep, and this will once more be the land of the free and proud Dunmer."

"Morrowind is a peculiar mixture of Dunmer tradition and Imperial modernism. The council system of government works well, and the Temple provides shelter, education, and health for all. At the same time, the Legions and magistrates guarantee rule of law and justice, and free trade makes us prosperous. Looking forward, we must overcome lingering resentments by engaging the Great Houses in the creation of a new Morrowind rooted in Dunmer tradition but incorporating the best features of Imperial civil society."

"Morrowind is the northeastmost province of the Tamrielic Empire, bounded on the north and east by the ocean, on the west by Skyrim, on the southwest by Cyrodiil, also known as the Imperial Province, and on the south by Black Marsh, also known as Argonia. Vvardenfell District consists of the island of Vvardenfell, surrounded by the Inland Sea, and dominated by the titanic volcano Red Mountain and its associated ash wastelands. Only recently open to settlement and trade, most of the island's population is confined to the relatively hospitable west and southwest coast, centered around the ancient city of Vivec and the old Great House district centers at Balmora, Ald'ruhn, and Sadrith Mora. The rest of the island is covered by hostile desert wastes, arid grasslands, and volcanic badlands, and thinly populated by the nomadic Ashlander tribes."

Morrowind cultures

"Morrowind has three main cultures: the native Dunmer culture -- also sometimes known as the House Dunmer culture or the Dark Elf culture, the Ashlander culture, and the Imperial culture."

Morrowind Lore

The general public may tell you about the Temple:

"The Dunmer are a serious people, and very serious about their gods and the Temple."

"Imperials worship powerful spirits -- but are they the RIGHT spirits? They are powerful, but are they GOOD? We used to worship the Daedra, but now we worship the true gods, the Tribunal, and the Daedra serve the true gods in fear and humility."

"In case you didn't know, weapons and armor are less effective when they get worn out.Repair them yourself, if you have the skill, or take them to a smith for repair.

People who are part of the temple may tell you about the organization:

"The Dunmer are a serious people, and very serious about their gods and the Temple. You won't find beggars in Morrowind; the Temple takes care of the poor. The Temple provides health and education for worshippers, and stresses family duty."

Savants in the Temple will have this to say about the organization:

"Let me tell you about the Tribunal Temple. Most Dunmer worship the Tribunal, three mortals who became gods in the distant past before Tiber Septim. The Dunmer are a serious people, and very serious about their gods and the Temple. You won't find beggars in Morrowind; the Temple takes care of the poor. The Temple provides health and education for worshippers, and stresses family duty. The Tribunal are named Almalexia, Sotha Sil, and Vivec, collectively called Almsivi. See a Temple priest to learn more."

"The raw glass deposits here on Vvardenfell are the richest in the world. There's a fortune in raw glass here. It all used to belong to the Temple, but now it belongs to the Emperor -- or anyone of his cronies he gives a mine charter."

"The raw ebony deposits here on Vvardenfell are the richest in the world. And the deposit in Caldera is the biggest on Vvardenfell. There's a fortune in ebony here. It all used to belong to the Temple, but now it belongs to the Emperor -- or anyone of his cronies he gives a mine charter."

"Let me tell you about current events. The Great Houses are always fighting each other in the Great House Wars. There's always trouble between outlanders -- non-Dunmer Imperial colonists -- and the Dunmer natives. The Temple is at war with a rebellious faction called the Dissident Priests. A secret cult called the Sixth House is killing Imperial citizens. Misshapen monsters and diseases called 'blight disease' are spreading from Red Mountain, a volcano where the Devil Dagoth Ur and his ash vampires live."

"Let me tell you about the Mages Guild in Morrowind. The Mages Guild is a professional organization chartered by the Emperor to promote study of the arcane arts. And it's where you go to find wizards for hire. Training, goods, and services are cheaper for members, and the Guild Stewards know where to find work. If you're thinking of making wizardry your profession, you should join and work your way up the ranks."

"Though some Dunmer are Imperial cult initiates, most of them are also members of the Tribunal Temple. Religious fervor is exceptional in the Empire, compared with Morrowind's more passionate Temple worshippers, and Dunmer who adopt the Imperial cult often share the moderation and religious tolerance of Imperial culture."

"Let me tell you about rogue Telvanni. No Great House may build new settlements on Vvardenfell without Duke Dren's approval. However, the Duke has little power to enforce restrictions, and 'rogue' Telvanni have occupied many sites on Vvardenfell, defying the Duke's authority. House Telvanni publicly denies supporting the rogue settlements. Volunteer expeditions and mercenary raids on these outlawed settlements are silently endorsed by the Duke, but have been largely ineffective."

"Three Great Houses dominate Vvardenfell's politics. Aristocratic, warlike House Redoran champions ancient Dunmer honor and morality, and strongly supports the Temple. Great House Hlaalu is an aggressive mercantile culture, influenced by Imperial values of progress, tolerant polytheism, and free enterprise. The sorcerer-lords of Great House Telvanni dedicate themselves to ruthless competition among themselves for arcane mastery, and competition with other Great Houses for Vvardenfell's resources."

"Let me tell you about Morrowind's economy. Morrowind used to be an agrarian aristocracy, mostly free farmers and herders and fishermen ruled by great houses and their noble councils. But since the Imperial occupation, and especially here on Vvardenfell, the Dunmer are developing a mercantile economy on the model of the Empire, ruled by the Emperor, law, and legions, but driven by trade in crafts and goods."

"Let me tell you about the Dissident priests. A group called the Dissident priests has rebelled against Temple authority, and are outlawed and persecuted by the Temple. Ordinators arrest and imprison these heretics, and according to the terms of the Armistice, the Empire cannot interfere. The Dissident priests challenge certain traditional doctrines of the Temple. They also condemn the arbitrary power of the Ordinators, and accuse the Temple hierarchy of self-interest and corruption."

"The Morag Tong are executioners and assassins who operate within the law and under a strict code of behavior. They have nothing to do with the Dark Brotherhood; the Morag Tong and the Dark Brotherhood are bitter enemies."

"Let me tell you about the Imperial cult. The Imperial cult brings divine inspiration and consolation to the Empire's remote provinces. The cult combines the worship of the Nine Divines -- the Aedra Akatosh, Dibella, Arkay, Zenithar, Mara, Stendarr, Kynareth, and Julianos -- and the Talos cult, dedicated to the divine god-hero Tiber Septim, founder and patron of the Empire. Imperial cult priests provide worship and services for all these gods at Imperial shrines in settlements throughout Vvardenfell."

"The Imperial legions are the greatest fighting force Tamriel has ever known. In Morrowind they serve as guards, but the garrisons are insurance that the Dunmer will never rise in rebellion against the Empire."

"Dunmer say they hate necromancers, vampires, and all undead. But they guard their tombs with the ghosts and animated spirits of their ancestors. What's the difference?"

Morrowind's neighbors

"The Dunmer of Morrowind dislike and disrespect all foreigners, who they regard as racially and culturally inferior. They thoroughly dislike their Imperial neighbors to the southwest, who conquered and occupied their land. They passionately hate and despise their Argonian neighbors to the south, thinking them savage animals fit only for slavery."

"Dunmer casually dislike their Nord neighbors to the west; in the past, Nords raided and made war against Morrowind, and today the Nords still have territorial ambitions for the coast and highlands of Morrowind's northwest borders."

Muck

"You can find muck just about anywhere there are muckspunge pools. Muckspunge is kinda brown and grows taller and fatter than me. Believe me, you can't miss it."

"Muck is the damp, fibrous slime from crushed muckspunge plants that grow in the West Gash and on Azura's Coast. Unless properly prepared in the native manner, it is mildly toxic."

Mudcrab

"The mudcrab is a large, edible crab found in marine, coastal, and cavern environments. The mudcrab is rarely aggressive, but tough and territorial, and groups of mudcrabs may become a nuisance. Larger mudcrab species, like the king mudcrab and mudcrab titan, may be a threat to careless travelers."

murder of Processus Vitellius

"Someone finally got him, huh? Well, it's no surprise, I suppose. No one likes a tax collector, especially one who flaunts his wealth while taking our hard-earned cash. Only one who could stomach him at all was Thavere over in the lighthouse. The two of them spent some time together. Shame, really. She seemed like a nice woman."

"Found his body, huh? Well, it's up to you what to do with that information. I suppose that Socucius Ergalla in the Census and Excise Office would be the one to tell, if that's your inclination."

"We heard. He was a good man, and his murder should be avenged." (in the Census and Excise Office)

Class	Location	Dialogue
Miner	Dissapla Mine, Yassu Mine, Halit Mine, Dunirai Caverns	"I'm an [sic] raw glass miner. The raw glass deposits here on Vvardenfell are the richest in the world. The matrix is a very hard stone, and separating raw glass from the matrix is hard work. Hard, honest work that pays well."
Miner	N/A	"I am a miner. Usually here on Vvardenfell, being a miner means you're an eggminer. Scrib jerky and scrib jelly, kwama eggs and kwama cuttle are the basis of our Vvardenfell economy. Yes, there are more valuable resources we take from mines -- raw ebony, raw glass, dreugh wax, daedra skin, daedra heart, diamond, ash salts, and so forth -- and that's good work, too. But it's the eggminers that feed Morrowind, and bring cash from all over the Empire."
Miner	Abaelun Mine	"I'm a diamond miner. It's hard work. The rock is hard, and the hours long. But it pays well."
Miner	Elith-Pal Mine, Caldera, Sudanit Mine	"I'm an ebony miner. The raw ebony deposits here on Vvardenfell are the richest in the world. The matrix is a very hard stone, and separating ebony from the matrix is hard work. Hard, honest work that pays well."
Miner	Yanemus Mine	"I'm an ebony miner. This is dangerous work. And we are dangerous miners. Do not touch our ebony."
Healer	N/A	"I am a healer. I have sworn solemn oaths in the College of Restoration to heal the afflicted and cure the diseased. But I have also learned that preventing harm to others often requires a more active opposition to monsters and malefactors, so I have studied both the unarmed, unarmored martial arts of the Khajiit and the light armored and blunt weapon styles of the Imperial West, both for self-defense, and for disabling or killing dangerous opponents."
Healer Service	N/A	"I am a healer. I have sworn solemn oaths in the College of Restoration to heal the afflicted and cure the diseased. But I have also studied both the unarmed, unarmored martial arts of the Khajiit and the light armored and blunt weapon styles of the Imperial West, both for self-defense, and for disabling or killing dangerous opponents. I sell spells, and I am a spellmaker who creates spells to your specifications. I can also teach you in my skills, for a fee."
Barbarian	N/A	"I'm a barbarian, and proud of it. I like the wilderness, and know how to live comfortably off the land. I know the various creatures of the wild, how to hunt them, what bits are good to eat, and what bits the city-folk will pay for. I know weapons and armor, and how to stay healthy, so I can play soldier for pay. But I hate taking orders, so I rather live by hunting."
Miner	N/A	"I am a miner. Usually here on Vvardenfell, being a miner means you're an eggminer. Scrib jerky and scrib jelly, kwama eggs and kwama cuttle are the basis of our Vvardenfell economy. Yes, there are more valuable resources we take from mines -- raw ebony, raw glass, dreugh wax, daedra skin, daedra heart, diamond, ash salts, and so forth -- and that's good work, too. But it's the eggminers that feed Morrowind, and bring cash from all over the Empire."
Warrior	N/A	"I'm a warrior by trade. I know how to fight, when necessary, but I much rather look so tough that critters give up or run away when they see me. Personally, I favor long blades of all kinds -- they use long blades of many different styles and craftsmanships here in Morrowind -- and I wear medium armor, for a decent balance of protection and mobility. But I train with various weapon types and armor types. And like any good warrior, I'm my own armorer -- don't want to fight with worn weapons in worn armor."
Publican	N/A	"I am a publican. I have food to buy, and beds for lodgers. I also know the neighborhood, and can share the local lore, or, if you prefer, I can give you a little Morrowind lore. I also am likely to have heard the latest rumors, and am happy to share them with you in the spirit of fellowship."
Scout	N/A	"I'm a scout. I know places, people, plants, paths, wind, and weather. I serve as guide for travelers and traders, or work as advanced guard and pathfinder for expeditions. I know the geography of Vvardenfell, and the various geographic regions. My best defense is stealth, sneaking past trouble, but I can fight bow or blade, in various armor styles, when the job requires it."
Thief	N/A	"I'm a thief. I was born to be a thief. I love to sneak around in rich people's houses, and liberate their possessions. I enjoy puzzling out the security provisions on doors and chests, thrilling to the challenge and suspense of picking locks and disarming traps. And I've always had an intense interest in Imperial law -- property rights, criminal justice, bribes and graft. Me and the guards, we're old friends. And punitive labor isn't all that bad -- free food and board, fresh air, and good fellowship."
Thief Service	N/A	"I'm a thief. I was born to be a thief. I love to sneak around in rich people's houses, and liberate their possessions. I enjoy puzzling out the security provisions on doors and chests, thrilling to the challenge and suspense of picking locks and disarming traps. I can sell you the tools of the trade -- the lockpick and probe. I can train you to be a better thief yourself, but you must make a generous contribution to my retirement fund."
Acrobat	N/A	"I'm an acrobat. As an entertainer, my job is to amaze and amuse my patrons. But in my more discreet vocation as a second-story man and connoisseur of treasures and secrets, my job is to come and go without attracting notice, and to effectively discourage pursuit when I am noticed. Running, swimming, or leaping, my art is to leave my less-agile, less-swift pursuit behind."
Commoner	N/A	"I am a commoner. I do whatever needs doing -- cooking, cleaning, building, baking, making, breaking. And, by your accent, I can tell YOU are an outlander. Since you're new to these parts, perhaps you'd like me to share a little local lore."
Pauper	N/A	"I am a pauper, one of the humble smallfolk. I make my way in the world as best I can, laboring in the fields, kitchens, and factories of the Great House lords. When times are good, I live well enough by my own work. When times are hard, I live by the grace and generosity of the clan, and by the charity and good works of the Temple. I am no rude beggar; we are all educated in the Temple, free of charge, and it may be I can teach you something of Morrowind lore." "I am a pauper, one of the humble smallfolk. I make my way in the world as best I can, laboring in the fields, kitchens, and factories of lords and merchants. When times are good, I live well enough by my own work. When times are hard, I must hope for the charity of the nobles and wealthy merchants."
Master-at-Arms	N/A	"I am a master-at-arms. I am a master of all the basic hand weapon types: long blades, short blades, axes, blunt weapons, and spears. I am willing to train with weapons, for a fee."
Hunter	N/A	"I am a hunter. I range across the ashlands and wastes, hunting for meat and hides. I know the native creatures of Vvardenfell, and know to avoid the diseased creatures, and the blighted creatures, for they are foul and worthless, and deadly to the careless hunter. I know the Ashlands and the Grazelands, Azura's Coast and Molag Amur, and can tell you of these places."
Netch Herder	Fevasa Saryon, Irvama Othrelas, Frinnius Posuceius	"I am a netch herder. It's long hours, but easy work. Just keep them from wandering off."
Netch Herder	Glonagoth, Tuundir	"I am a netch herder. That is, when I'm working. Right now, I'm not working. And that's fine with me."
Herder	N/A	"I am a herder. I watch over the tribe's herds of guar and shalk. I butcher the guar and shalk and preserve their meats to feed the tribe. I tan the guar hides, render the shalk resins, and season the shalk shells. Then the tribe's craftsmen take these things and make the things we need for ourselves, and the things we sell to traders and other tribes."
Enchanter, Enchanter Service	N/A	"I am an enchanter. I enchant things, and sell them. I have scrolls, which are cheap, but only work once, and enchanted items, which work over and over again, but which are NOT cheap. I also make my enchanter's lab available to those who want to enchant items, but who can't afford the expense of building and maintaining a lab. I charge for the service, of course, but you must provide the items, soul gems, and magic effects. I also buy and sell enchanted weapons, enchanted armor, and enchanted clothing."
Enforcer	N/A	"I am an enforcer. There are rules. The boss makes the rules. I enforce them. You break the rules, and you don't get to live a long productive life. So don't break the rules."
Farmer	N/A	"I am a farmer. I grow crops, and raise animals for food, and gather animal products and vegetable products from the land for my own use or for sale at the markets."
Knight	N/A	"I'm a knight. In the West, you need a horse and land to be a knight, but here, we have no horses, and all you need is good armor, good weapons, and the skill to use them. I prefer to fight with axes and shields. Since I live by my weapons, I have to pay careful attention to local feelings about killing and murder -- what's right and what's wrong."
Witchhunter	N/A	"I am a witchhunter. I dedicate body and soul to the destruction of profane magics. Most foul are necromancers, who defile the bodies and spirits of the sacred dead. Equally abominable are the evil Daedra worshippers. The Daedra Lords delight in the torment and corruption of mortals, and they reward followers with terrible powers always used for evil purposes. In employing the tools of the Enemy -- the spells of the College of Conjuration -- I risk contamination, but fire must be fought with fire."
Assassin	N/A	"I'm an assassin. Killing is my profession. I am discrete [sic], efficient, and reliable. In Morrowind, the assassin's trade is an ancient and honorable profession, restricted by a rigid code of conduct, and operating strictly within the law. Because I am discreet, I prepare short blades for swift, close-and personal [sic] work, while the marksman weapons like throwing stars and throwing knives are more suitable for stealth and surprise."
Assassin Service	N/A	"I'm an assassin. Killing is my profession. I am discrete [sic], efficient, and reliable.

Because I am discreet, I prefer short blades for swift, close-and personal [sic] work, while the marksman weapons like throwing stars and throwing knives are more suitable for stealth and surprise. I charge fair prices to train apprentices in the assassin's skills."
Battlemage	N/A	"I am a Battlemage. Though arrayed as a Western knight with heavy armor, axes and long blades, my primary training is in the College of Alteration, the College of Destruction, and the College of Conjuration. To round out my education, I have mastered enchantments and alchemy. Potions made through alchemy, or purchased from alchemists, grant me the magics of the Restoration, Mysticism, and Illusion Colleges. And can there be any more terrible master of the science of war than a battlemage? I think not."
Battlemage Service	N/A	"I am a Battlemage. Though arrayed as a Western knight with heavy armor, axes and long blades, my primary training is in the College of Alteration, the College of Destruction, and the College of Conjuration. To round out my education, I have mastered enchantments and alchemy. I sell spells, and I am a spellmaker who creates spells to your specifications. I can also teach you in my skills, for a fee."
Nightblade	N/A	"I am a nightblade. Blending the disciplines of the stealthy agent and subtle wizard, I move unseen and undetected, foil locks and traps, and teleport to safety when threatened, or strike like a viper from ambush. The College of Illusion hides me and fuddles or pacifies my opponents. The College of Mysticism detects my object, reflects and dispels enemy spells, and makes good my escape. The key to a nightblade's success is avoidance, by spell or by stealth; with these skills, all things are possible."

Spellsword	N/A	"I am a spellsword. I make war with spell and sword, combining the arts of the College of Restoration, the College of Alteration, and the College of Destruction with training in medium armor style, in block defense, and in the offensive disciplines of axes, blunt weapons, and long blades. I rely on enchanted weapons and enchanted armors to further augment my offensive and defensive abilities. This balance of steel and spell, offense and defense, mobility and protection is the signature of the Spellsword."
Sorcerer	N/A	"I am a sorcerer. Through my mastery of special disciplines of the College of Conjuration, and my private studies of the Outer Realms and their Powers and Principalities, I have learned to summon and command their denizens to do my bidding. I do these things for coin, or to suit my own interests. I also am an enchanter, enchanting items for my own use and for the use of others. My skill with enchantments also makes me more efficient in using enchanted items that I collect on my research expeditions."

Mage	N/A	"I am a mage. My study is the destruction and alteration of the visible and invisible world. I study magic for its pure intellectual challenge and rewards, but I am paid in gold for the practical applications of my knowledge. I defend myself with spells of the College of Destruction, and leap, swim, and levitate with the spells of the College of Alteration."

Witch	N/A	"I'm a witch. I have bound myself by oath and deed to the service of a Daedra lord, and in return have received gifts of knowledge and power. The Temple calls my patrons the bad Daedra, and perhaps they aren't very nice... but I guess I'm not very nice, either. If you are curious, and not afraid, I can tell you a little about the bad Daedra and Daedric summonings."
Warlock	N/A	"I'm a warlock. I have bound myself by oath and deed to the service of a Daedra lord, and in return have received gifts of knowledge and power. The Temple calls my patrons the bad Daedra, and perhaps they aren't very nice... but I guess I'm not very nice, either. If you are curious, and not afraid, I can tell you a little about the bad Daedra and Daedric summonings."
Crusader	N/A	"I'm what they call a crusader. Crusaders used to be warriors in service to a cult, but now any heavily armored warrior with a good cause calls himself a crusader. My good cause is hunting down necromancers and witches and bandits and other malefactors. And I do well by doing good -- salvage on arms, armor, and goods taken from malefactors earns me a good living. I'm tough and strong, so I wear heavy armor and use blunt weapons. And I won't fight with worn weapons or worn armor, so I'm my own armorer."
Bard	N/A	"I am a bard. As an entertainer, I share songs and stories with patrons and peasants. As a scholar, I travel the world, speaking with people, and learning the lessons of history and human nature. And because a good bard must experience adventure at first hand in order to present its drama effectively, I have learned to defend myself with the noble tools of medium armor and long blade, and have mastered minor mysteries of alchemy, enchantment, and illusion."
Agent	N/A	"I'm an agent. I work for a House, or a company, or the state, and I do things that need doing. Mostly I handle matters in the business or diplomatic line, things that require mercantile skills, or the arts of speechcraft. I trade in knowledge -- hard facts and rumors. 'Knowledge is power,' as they say. And sometimes I do other sorts of things. Things I can't talk about."
Archer	N/A	"I'm an archer. I'm the kind of fighter who hates getting hurt, so I ambush with my marksman weapons from a distance, then run like crazy when I can, and fight with long blades or spears when I must. I prefer spears because they're longer, and I keep farther from things trying to hurt me. If that sounds cowardly to you, you better stick with tin suits and fat axes."
Rogue	N/A	"I'm a lovable rogue, a silver-tongued devil with a taste for the better things in life. But lovable as I am, some people get upset with me, and so I must fight -- purely in self-defense, you understand. I like light armor and short blades for self defense; heavy armor and heavy weapons just tire you out. But I train with various different weapon types and armor types, so I can improvise when the situation demands it."
Pilgrim	N/A	"I am a pilgrim. I search for enlightenment, and hope to purify my soul through facing and overcoming the challenges of pilgrimages that reenact the tests and trials of gods, saints, and heroes. I visit the shrines and make devotions everywhere I travel -- in village Temple shrines, and the High Fane of Vivec, or at the remote shrines scattered all over Vvardenfell."
Monk	N/A	"I am a monk. In mind and spirit, I am a student of the hidden mysteries, of the unseen world that lies behind the objects and ideas of everyday life. In body, I am a student of the ancient martial arts, patterned on the 'Rain-of-Sand' fighting styles of Elsweyr. I pursue hand-to-hand and unarmored self-defense, because what you don't have, you cannot lose. I also train with the blunt weapons called staffs, because even the poorest peasant can own a staff."

To earn my keep, I train others in my skills."
Buoyant Armiger	N/A	"I am a Buoyant Armiger, a member of a small military order of the Tribunal Temple, exclusively dedicated to and answering to Lord Vivec. We pattern ourselves on Lord Vivec's heroic spirit of exploration and adventure, and emulate his mastery of the varied arts of personal combat, chivalric courtesy, and subtle verse. We serve the Temple as champions and knights-errant, and are friendly rivals of the more solemn Ordinators in our dedicated service to Lord Vivec and the Temple."
Sharpshooter	N/A	"I am a sharpshooter. I make my living as a mercenary, working on short contracts as a caravan guard or expedition escort, or for long term contracts to nobles or merchants. I have mastered the various marksman weapons, and can train you in their use, for a modest fee."

Clothier	N/A	"I am a clothier. I make clothes and sell them. I also buy clothes in good condition; with a little work I can make them good as new and resell them. Mostly I make and sell Dunmer clothing, but some people also want Imperial clothes and Ashlander clothes."
Drillmaster, Drillmaster Service	N/A	"I am a drillmaster. I train and condition the local militia. I teach the citizens the basics of block, spear, and long blade, but mostly I concentrate on athletics and acrobatics, because conditioning is the biggest weakness of the citizen-soldier. No point teaching them to fight if they pass out after a short jog in full kit."
Merchant	N/A	"I am a merchant. I look for goods that are well-made, that people want to buy, that I can buy and sell at a profit. There are many different kinds of materials I can buy and sell -- animal products, vegetable products, mineral products, even exotic products. Crafts and manufactured goods I deal in include weapons, armor, clothing, books, potions, enchanted items, and various housewares. I travel, talk with people I meet, buy what I like, and sell what people like."
Pawnbroker	N/A	"I am a pawnbroker. I buy your goods, giving you cash on the counter, and if, at a later date, you wish to recover your goods, you need only pay me what they are worth -- with a small profit, of course, for my time and trouble. I also sell things, sometimes used and worn, sometimes almost new, and all for a fraction of what they'd cost if purchased elsewhere."
Smith	N/A	"I am a smith. I make, sell, and repair weapons and armor. I can tell you about the basic armor styles and weapon types. I can also tell you how to take care of worn weapons and worn armor, and sell you the armorer tools you need. I also repair weapons and armor, for a fee."

Trader Service	N/A	"I am a trader, a general merchant. I buy and sell a little of everything -- weapons ,armor, clothes, books, miscellaneous items of all kinds. Take a look around; let me know what you want. Or if you have things you'd like to sell, let me take a look at them, and I'll give you a price."

In short, you see before you a gentleman. I can discourse upon history, speechcraft, language, and customs. And, for a fee, I offer training that will permit you to share a few of my many virtues."

Slave	N/A	"I am a slave, sera. I serve my owner and master as commanded. I clean, prepare food, fetch and carry, do the shopping and marketing, and do other tasks too tiresome or menial for my master."
Noble	N/A	"I am a noble, elevated by birth and distinction to the highest ranks of Imperial society. I do not have a trade, as such, though I may dabble in various affairs, collecting rare treasures of beauty and refinement. And if such things are valuable, there's no harm in it. My lofty station is not without responsibilities, of course. I must serve at the command of the Emperor and the Councils, giving counsel and support, and, when duty calls, taking spell and sword to protect the smallfolk of the Empire."
