Elder Scrolls III: Imperium Wiki



Imperium is a project that intends to expand the scope and role-playing capabilities of the Imperial factions in Morrowind. This wiki showcases the various quests, characters and locations added or edited by this mod, and various walkthroughs or any Construction Set information.

Project Backround
Imperium focuses primarily on trying to give the Imperial Legion more depth; the vanilla Imperial Legion had the player performing simple tasks with little context and getting paid in armour. There was little insight into the micropolitics and backround of the Legion in the garrisons across Vvardenfel.

The vanilla Imperial Legion had many good ideas, but the game fell short of following up on a lot of them. Several bits of backround information, locations, characters and quests felt poorly crafted and lacked the depth of some of the other Morrowind factions.

Imperium intends to rewrite these concepts and add some new ones in a seamless, vanilla-friendly way. Some aspects touched in the project include:

Respect and Honour:

Vvardenfel is a place on the frontier for the Empire, and a place where soldiers are involved in active combat against the island’s hostile fauna, natives and the Sixth House, but it’s not a lawless wasteland. Rank and respect are still important, and the rules and customs of the legion should be respected even more, if anything.

Imperium adds more regulations and rules in the player's military career, punishing poor attitude and attire. Uniforms, custom and respect are central to being a good legionnaire, and the overhaul intends to add an overall sense of duty to the player's actions and motives.

Politics and Conflict:

Much of the Legion politics talked about in out-of-game literature isn't present in Morrowind. Imperium expands upon and adds several Legion factions to the game, each with their own goals and motives in serving the Empire and controlling Vvardenfel, including the Red Dome Templars, the Order of Ebonheart and the Talos Cult.

These factions provide more choices and backround for the player to appriciate, making the Legion a much more interesting and multi-dimentional faction.

Diversity and Role-Playing:

While the Legion is front and foremost a military organisation of warriors united in the ideal of serving the Empire, there were few choices for soldiers of other skills, such as agents and mages. Imperium allows more diverse career choices for players, allowing them to serve the traditional warrior-type career in the Legion, or to pursue in exploits with the Legion spies.

Armour and gear has also been made more accomodating for different class types. Several armour resources have been implimented into the game with the intent of filling in blind spots for armour progression in different armour skills.

The player can also make other decisions in their role-playing, such as with quest choices, faction affiliation and morals.

Future plans
Imperium 's scope might be extended beyond the Imperial Legion to the other Imperial factions, such as the Imperial Cult and the Blades.

With any luck, these factions will be fleshed out and given more roleplay capability to enjoy, giving the Empire a unique presence and bring a proper political insight into Imperial intervention in Vvardenfell.
