I'm tired seeing myself as an Operative and Clanfriend of the Blades and Ashlanders respectively. I've searched for Quest mods that add good and faithful quests that allow you to rise up in the ranks of these factions. I've found only http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=2013, which doesn't look exactly like what I'm looking for (maybe). I'm not entirely a purist, and I'd like to continue these storylines. What annoys me the most is seeing the "Next Rank" option. I'd be almost equally happy with a tweak that removed the "Next Rank" part under Faction Rank.

Anyway, I've searched extensively, but searching 'Blades' or 'Ashlanders' is too broad, and blah blah....

the deserter legion adds a new blades faction. but it's probably not exactly what you are looking for. but it's alright on its own.

If it dont exist, make it

Haha, I might just have to do that.
