Dive into Andaram, the 7th expansion from The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind modding project Tamriel Rebuilt that aims to add the mainland of Morrowind to the original game. The expansion is centered on the middle Thirr River, and the dark secrets which lie under its waters.

The newly released area of the mod is highlighted. Blue overlay marks the Aanthirin region, yellow is the Coronati Basin, and mauve is the Othreleth Woods.

The villainous Camonna Tong rules the port town of Hlan Oek while its Hlaalu governor has his mind on other matters. The great Temple city of Almas Thirr, first released in 2019’s Aanthirin release, has been expanded and updated and is now open to Imperial influence from the Fighters, Mages, and Thieves Guilds. Even the sleepy fishing village of Idathren has secrets to uncover. Meanwhile, the Dreugh Queen Paruddma broods in her Citadel deep beneath Lake Andaram’s placid waters.


Left to right: the new town of Hlan Oek, the revamped Almas Thirr temple-city, and the small Hlaalu Ferry on the south bank of Lake Andaram. See more on the website gallery.

Featuring over 100 quests and 9 faction questlines, including a new vampire clan and the highly anticipated Andothren Thieves Guild, the Andaram expansion brings the total number of unique quests in Tamriel Rebuilt to over 600, surpassing the amount of quests in Morrowind and its expansions. The release also features more than 30 new dungeons and 2 new biomes to explore, and introduces a totally new dungeon type: the twisted and alien Dreugh Citadel. The new content isn’t limited to the newly released areas, either, giving returning players plenty of reason to explore familiar locations once more.

Coming out less than a year after Tamriel Rebuilt’s previous release, Andaram marks the fastest turn-around ever between releases for the modding project. This represents the culmination of years of improvements to the project’s organizational structure, and paves the way for the upcoming Grasping Fortune expansion, featuring Great House Hlaalu’s capital city of Narsis.


Left to right: looking towards the Othreleth Woods through the newly opened Armun Pass, a half-submerged Daedric ruin on the Thirr, and the mangrove mushrooms of the Coronati Basin.

We continue building out the rest of mainland Morrowind, for the time focusing on Hlaalu lands in Morrowind’s southwest. If you would like to help us release our next expansion sooner, consider joining our development team – no prior modding experience required! In the meanwhile, please enjoy the Andaram expansion! And should you run into any bugs, be sure to report them!

It's just a personal preference, but I would reword the clause surrounding "the Dreugh Queen Paruddma". There aren't quests which involve her plotting, so maybe just describe her as lurking underneath Lake Andaram? "Alien" is also used to describe the Dreugh citadels, so I would choose another adjective to associate with her person/activity.

Sorry for not getting back to you before the release, but yes, I think that works wonderfully.
