Hey,
[1ST]Q[/1ST]uestline
[1ST]Q[/1ST]uestline
- Quest 1: Initiation stiffs
Before you can join the Morrowind Mages Guild you'll need to do an initiation, in a pocket dimension. Things go bump when a big bad demon shows up, collecting on a debt your initiationguide owes.
- This quest can be gained by talking to any one of the Compound leaders.
- After the quest is done, you're promoted to Apprentice
- Quest 2: Murder Mystery
Clengoth, the coolest bosmer character ever, will tell you one of his mages is missing, but is most likely still present in the guildhall. When you find him, the mage isn't very healthy, he's dead. Turns out, an invisible Daedra was behind it. Huh, who would've thought of that, eh?
- You can only get this quest from the Silgrad City compound leader.
- Quest 3: After death, A new Beginning (X)
Meet Nibarr Faren, a Mages Guild Warlock who needs you to help him solve recent disappearances of Mages Guild members. He believes that either the Dark Brotherhood or the Morag Tong, and further up the foodchain a faction like the Fighter's Guild, is behind this and he needs you to go to one of the locations he has magically tracked one of the missing Mages to. He gives you a fair description of the person you're to search for. When you reach the location (either a cave or possibly a basement), you'll see the person you're searching for. You talk, you find out he/she has become a vampire (in the dialogue the vampire says "After death, a new beginning!"). It's necessary for the quest to kill the person you're searching for, though you can escape the other two vampires there. Report back to Faren, he says you can't talk to anyone about this since the Mages Guild might be infiltrated.
- You can take this quest from every Compound leader, they'll all direct you to Nibarr Faren who lives in Soluthis.
- Faren will give you a letter of recomendation which, if you give it to one of the Compound leaders, will grant you the rank of Evoker.
- Quest 4: Strangely Immobile
What happens if your newlywed wife is a witch and you cheated on her? Everyone in a certain house where a marriage reception was being held is now paralyzed. The Mages Guild has quarantained the house, it's up to you to find out what happened.
- The reward is 1000 coins
- You can only get this quest from Horuscia Ratori, the Soluthis Compound leader
- Quest 5: No Sunshine for you (X)
Once again you're sent to Nibarr Faren, who sends you to fetch an informant who lives in Silgrad City. When you come in, you see the body of the person you're supposed to fetch lying on the ground. Two vamps are already in the appartement, they start their evil dialogue including pointing towards Amilia Noctis as their leader. Nibarr Faren walks in, it's obvious he's a vamp. You fight them, you win. When you go back to any of the Compound leaders, you'll be promoted to wizard for uncovering the whole vampiric plot.
- Promotion to Magician
- Quest 6: Rituals, Rituals, Rituals
The consequences of calling upon Daedric powers to get yourself power, is risky to say the least. Especially when the once calling are amateurs. When the Mages Guild receives the intel that a farm has been thrashed and the inhabitants have been killed, they send an experienced Wizard (meaning you) to solve the situation. When you get there, you find the farm crowded with daedra, you fight them, track the bodies to a tree-less, round spot. There, you'll find a big Daedra, apparently the one in charge of the smaller ones. He'll offer you this: either get a special item for helping him escaping this plane - he's trapped since the amateur conjurers killed themselves off before they were able to fully summon him - or get into the magical circle and forever free all the planes of this badguy.
- If you chose the bad path you'll get a magical sword & 1500 coins, if you chose the good path you'll get 1500 coins
- You can only get this quest from Vanco Valean, the Steadhelm Compound Leader
- Quest 7: Blood keeps me dead (X)
You will be ordered to meet with Amilia Noctis at an isolated spot. She will explain the story to you, how the Cerro clan-leader is after her. Amilia tells you that she has confirmed reports of infiltration of the Mages Guild by the Cerro. She knows that Vanco Valean, the Steadhelm Compound leader, is one of them and that it's likely a few more Mages in Steadhelm compound are working for the Cerro. She askes you to take care of this for her, in return, she will promote you to one of the elite Mages, Master Wizard. Meaning you'll also be the compound leader of Steadhelm. When you ask around in the Steadhelm compound, you'll find out that Valean's behaviour has changed lately, and that he's been hanging out with a select group of two other highranking Steadhelm Mages. When you confront them, they try to kill you and you defend yourself, killing all three.
- Promotion to Wizard
- Reward is Vanco's house and the position of leader of the Steadhelm Compound
- Quest 8: Council Matters
You are called to the Council because the Council has a very 'delicate' mission for you to fulfil. The Council tells you there's a Necromancer hiding among the Mages Guild ranks, they have evidence of this but they need the matter handled. When you go to the guy they suspect, he tells you about a mask he's been searching for. He asks you to go to this cave and find this mask. When you go to the cave he'll be there. He starts raving about the mask and how the Council cannot truly appreciate the beauty of death. And then he attacks you, you kill him and return to the Council.
- Promotion to Master Wizard
- Quest 9: Things that go Bump in the Night (X)
After the "Council Matters" quest you get the order to go back to Athasor Alayn ASAP. When you get there he is attacked by two vampires, but he and his bodyguards take care of them. Athasor tells you the Cerro have now declared war, and every compound is under attack. He asks you to go to the Silgrad City Compound and defend it against Cerro attack. When you get to the Silgrad City Compound it's totally devastated, inside the bodies of the apprentices and wizards litter the floor. In the building there are three Cerro vampires, one of them a 'boss'. On the body of the boss there's a letter in which his leader commands the guy to trash the Silgrad City compound and then get to the Mages Curia to attack. You then get back to Athasor and he'll order you to report to Amilia.
- Promotion to Eldritch
- Quest 10: The Big Bad (X)
Amilia is in the Council Chamber with the complete Council and a few guards. When you speak to her and give her the letter, the doors swing open and the Cerro leader (Bob, what's his/her name?) comes walking in. We get a huge big evil showdown dialogue between Amilia and her former master and it results in a big fight between the Council, Amilia, you and the Cerro in the room. When you kill the Cerro with the help of the rest of the Council, Amilia'll talk to you and promote you to Master Eldritch.
- Promotion to Eldritch Master

Quests:
Because I wanted to keep the amount of work for the Mages Guild to a minimum I've deleted the quests "Senators Matter" and "Having a Say in Things". These were quests to let the player experience a 'life' Council (in session), but they'll probably take too much time.
Quote:Quest 2: It's all about the Cardgames
This quest just didn't fit in the Mages Guild style.
An Mages Guild operative disappears in Silgrad City, after talking to his friend s you gain the knowledge this guy is an excessive drinker and gambler. Find the gambling den, talk to the owner, get the location of the loanshark. Either use the charm spells, money, fists, any other kind of weapon or your persuasive skills to convince the loanshark to release this guy.
- If you've used money to convince anyone, you'll get it back from the Mages Guild
- You'll get 200 coins.
- You can only get this quest from the Silgrad City compound leader.
