Adds a cozy old temple to the hill near Ald'Ruhn. Now it serves as a base for the Ancestral mages. Also you can eat and rest there during your pilgrimage.
It features Sacred Necromancer (Ancestral Mage) armor by Ruffin Vangarr!
Ancestral Mages create tomb guardians for the protection against grave robbers. They study a holy bond between the living family members and immortal ancestors of the Dunmer and assist in the protection of the Great Ghost Fence.
- OAAB Data
- If you're on vanilla engine, please ensure that "scripted potion use" is enabled in your Morrowind Code Patch
- For optional TR addon you need TR_Data and Tamriel Rebuilt
Update 3.0:
- 2 quests have been added. A second quest for Ulvena (you must ask her for work again after completing her 1st request) and one for Serila (the mage in the Soul Forge area);
- New NPC and a dungeon to explore;
- Ruffin Vangarr made an awesome helmet and a powerful relic for you to find;
- Fixed some clutter and a wall in the kitchen;
- Cleaned dirty edits to the Ald'Ruhn's wall;
- Redecorated some stones and flora outside to blend better with the surrounding landscape;
- Added additional storage to the quarters for sale;
- Added an optional plugin that adds a red Ghost to the Soul Forge area. It can transport you to Necrom, the City of the Dead on the Mainland. This addon requires TR_Data and Tamriel Rebuilt to be installed!

- Added a new cell inside the temple: Soul Forge;
- Added nice Fire Fern Quarters for sale;
- You can buy portable shrines for Vivec, Almalexia and Sotha Sil (from House Shrines and Statues mod by Ortiee, but I tweaked the scripts and these shrines won't restore your health, they can cure diseases and give blessings);
- Added some unique topics and greetings for the NPCs.
- Added a little camp on top of the mountain above the temple (for one of the quests).
- Numerous fixes and tweaks, clutter additions.
