The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind Hints

Build a Stronghold.

  • 1 of 16: Every high-ranking Great House member needs to have a stronghold of his very own, and you're no exception. Once you gain Aryon's patronage and get promoted to Mouth, you can start work on your very own Telvanni tower.
  • 2 of 16: To start things off, go talk to Llunela Hleran in the Hermitage area of Sadrith Mora's Telvanni Council House.
  • 3 of 16: She wants you to get a construction contract and fill two grand soul gems with the souls of powerful Daedra.
  • 4 of 16: You can easily get the contract from Duke Vedam Dren in Ebonheart's Grand Council Chambers in Vivec by just giving him the promise he wants.
  • 5 of 16: Turn the gems and contract in to Hleran to begin construction on the tower.
  • 6 of 16: Go off and do other things for a few days until you get a journal entry saying to check in with Hleran.
  • 7 of 16: She'll say to go to the construction site (location 20 on the Tel Aruhn map) and talk to Gashnak gra-Mughol. Do so, then return to Hleran.
  • 8 of 16: After another waiting period and journal entry, talk to Hleran again to learn that she needs 5,000 gold and some Dwemer schematics in order to continue work.
  • 9 of 16: You can raise the money quickly by selling valuable armor, weapons, and other stuff to Creeper in Ghorak Manor in Caldera.
  • 10 of 16: You can get the schematics from Mzanchend, which is a ways NW of your tower (location 15).
  • 11 of 16: Turn the money and schematics in to Hleran to start another waiting phase.
  • 12 of 16: After yet another journal entry, talk to Hleran to find out that she needs a unique book called "Secrets of Dwemer Animunculi" which is in the possession of Raxle Berne, the Berne vampire clan leader.
  • 13 of 16: He and the book are in the observatory in Galom Daeus (location 18). That's not very far away, but it's a very tough fight to get in there and take the book. You might want to try sneaking in while invisible, and then quickly teleporting away once you have the book.
  • 14 of 16: Note that when you pick it up and take it, you'll learn the Dwemer Animunculi spell, which can be used to summon a Centurion Sphere.
  • 15 of 16: Give the book to Hleran to start the final phase of construction.
  • 16 of 16: When the place is completed, go check it out. It'll even have Centurion Spheres for guards!
