Firemoth

Reimplementation of the original Firemoth quest was discussed. There is consensus that we do not want to fundamentally change the premise - the fort has been overrun by Grurn’s undead army. There is a general desire to make it more interesting than the original, however.   Access to the quest should be gated by one of the following

1. A rank 4 or higher in the Imperial Legion
2. Have a certain amount of general Reputation (perhaps 5 or 10 or something)

  Other ideas that were discussed:

• Expand on the background of the Ward of Akavir
  • the shield was probably part of the invasion in the 2nd era
  • maybe that spot is where the wielder was drowned by vivec
• Make companions - and their survival - matter
  • (they would have to be reimplemented with TR-specific IDs, but we want to keep the names, at the very least)
  • Upon success, they might get a Legion pension
• Use the new rising skeleton animation to spawn skeletons on the beach / from the ground
• Grurn himself is prime material for making a scripted boss fight
  • What is his phylactery? Does he have one?
  • What does he do with the Ward?
  • He might raise minions / bring skeletons back to life throughout the fight
  • Surviving companions might be scripted to somehow make this fight easier

Fort Firemoth can be turned into a player stronghold for an Imperial Legion player, at rank 7 or higher. Details will be discussed at a later time.

Hotfix

Should be made - minimum content is a fix to the “DELETEME” reply to “Dwemer Ruins” in Dagon Fel. Automatically generating one from differences between Morrowind.esm and Morrowind.esp did not work.
