Greetings,

First of all, thank you for your wonderful work, I've been a passive observer since 2016 or so, now I finally created a profile here to be able to post messages:

I've been working on this vampire quests project for some time: https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/49486

and used the OAAB (with Melchior's permission, ofc.) and TD masterfile for this mod (as you state ppl can do so).

However, I would like to officialy request your permission to reference new clans added by TD in my own mod. There wouldn't be anything too precise. I simply want some NPCs to spread rumors about clans from the mainland Morrowind and/or Skyrim. For example, one of my new vampire NPCs shares rumors about Castle Volkihar from Skyrim, saying that she's terrified to the core by these supposedely demigod-like vampires.

For instance, I want to add clan-specific greetings to a scribe NPC who keeps track of all known clans. He already greets player based on player's VampClan global (1,2,3, and 616 - my new clan), and I would love to reference 100,101, and 200, with your permission, ofc. He says things like:

"[Greetings, mighty warrior of Quarra. As long as you aren't here for a 'drink', I'm listening.]"  and so on.

Nevertheless, I aim to add more synergy with the Mainland Morrowind in future, and would like to be able to add quests invloving these areas too.

I'm also making a small list of all known vampire globals, disease IDs etc. both for personal use and for other modders who would like to avoid compatibility issues if they decided to add new clans. I know for a fact that some older (that date back to the early 2010 or so) unfinished mods didn't bother to implement new clan indices at all (imagine the consequences!). Please, let me know if I missed any useful data, I'd be very grateful.

Here's the discord link that encouraged me to post here:

See attached an example of a script that I modfified (with OperatorJack's permission) to make each clan feel more personal. I would love to insert info about the 3 new TD clans as well, if allowed to.

as mentioned on discord, emphatically, "yes you are allowed to do this"

that goes for anyone else reading this as well. If you're making a 3rd party mod that incorporates TR lore you have permission! This is encouraged!
