So I played morrowind a long time ago.

Never played as telvanni.

My hlaalu house was ok. Bit far from stuff.

The redoran stronghold had a terrible location, but frankly, ald-ruhn is not so great either. just bigger so you don't see that you are in a desert.

My telvanni tower could only be in a worse place inside the ashlands or ghostfence.

there are really old mods that try to green it up but they had so many caveats I was afraid to try them.

Lore wise, I get why a new telvanni councillor might get the crap tower. But I kicked Gothrne's butt.

I want HIS tower. at least it is nice scenery.

sigh.

Do you mean mods that improve on Tel Uvirith?
There are some very well done mods that are very popular for that, and are so well loved that they continue to be improved/fixed despite being a few years old.

Highly recommended, http://stuporstar.sarahdimento.com/

Building up Uvirith's Grave is another good one, and can be used alongside Ulvirith's Legacy if you install the compatibility mod too.
