-# Morrowind May Mod: Daedric Merchant
-
-The player finds an item which, when used, summons a unique NPC merchant for
-bartering with. As the player interacts more with this merchant, dialog and
-quests become available. Completing these quests expands the merchant's
-offering, provides dialog options, and more.
-
-## Plan
-
-### Part 1: Merchant
-
-- The item
-- The merchant
-- The enchantment (i.e., the spell)
-
-### Part 2: Dialog
-
-- Include a different greeting based on geography?
-- Could be fun to reference Creeper and Mudcrab Merchant
-
-### Part 3: Evolving Inventory
-
-- The merchant will make requests of specific items found throughout the
-  game-world. Some for personal desire (who doesn't want a nice Colovian hat?),
-  and some for trade to get the player more interesting items.
-- Custom items?
-
-### Part 4: Quests
-
-- Some kind of quest involving the merchant, former clients, maybe a custom
-  location or "hijacked" location to add in some mod lore?
-
-### Part 5: Player House
-
-- Always fun to have your own plane of Oblivion...

+
+## Development
+
+Working through the parts 1 and 2. Adding in items and NPCs is easy enough.
+Creating a custom spell is more involved, and so I've opted against it. The
+current implementation is a book which offers the options to summon a merchant
+NPC, or pick up the book. Picking up the book activates it, resulting in the
+player reading it and optionally taking it. Summoning the merchant spawns a
+custom NPC in front of the player. An initial idea is to immediately start
+dialog when the merchant is summoned (using the apt `ForceGreeting`). However,
+given how the player summons the merchant (looking at a book in the worldspace),
+it results in the player staring at the book, seeing the feet of the merchant.
+Further, there is a script attached to the merchant that disables the merchant
+when the dialog box is closed.
+
+I'm very happy with this initial progress. I've more-or-less implemented my
+original idea of a summonable merchant, in the style of Neverwinter Nights.
+However, this implementation is not what I would like fully, and so the idea
+evolves.
+
+After playing around with the CS enough, I know that there are several things
+which can expand my idea.
+
+I'm going to add a faction, possibly hidden, which the player becomes a part of
+when picking up the book. Initially, the player's reputation with this faction
+only allows them to interact with an unfair and invisible representative through
+the book. This is handled through dialog, likely from an invisible actor. The
+inventory is limited, and prices are unfair. The player is told in the book how
+to raise their reputation, and after doing so, will be rewarded with the
+opportunity to summon a proper merchant. The reputation requirement will not be
+too high, maybe 30, with rep increasing every time the player buys something in
+addition to some kind of quest.
+
+The merchant, once available, is then summoned and placed into the world at the
+player as a full NPC. When spoken with, they warmly greet the player, and
+possibly even comment on the current region. Unlike the default inventory, the
+merchant will offer a smaller selection of better items, also improving and
+expanding as player rep increases. The merchant also has quests.
+
+At the higher rep levels, the player can visit a tradehouse of the faction. I'd
+like for it to be a zone the player teleports to which exists outside the
+Tamriel world space. I'd like for it to be like a small estate. There are
+several gathering rooms, places for food a drink, and rooms the player can stay
+in. Eventually, the player earns a permanent room at the tradehouse.
+
+### Book - Inventory
+
+As the book can be used anywhere, the inventory should be reasonable, and even
+helpful, for an adventurer. I'll need to manipulate the mercantilism skills of
+the book-merchant in order for prices to be unfair. The convenience of having an
+anywhere merchant is not one to be taken lightly, or provided without some
+costs. Perhaps there should be a cost for even accessing the inventory.
+
+Should the inventory restock? If so, perhaps I can restock it at intervals?
+Maybe the player can pay to restock it sooner?
+
+What items should be sold? Adventurer items make the most sense. Things like
+potions for health, fatigue, and mana; lockpicks and probes; sensible food and
+drink options (whatever the equivalent of cheap wine, hard-tack, and water would
+be); repair hammers; and scrolls for water walking, water breathing, and
+levitate. The scrolls and potions can maybe be split better. The quality of
+these items can be improved by paying for them to improve, and possibly also
+requiring completing quests for the higher/highest levels.
+
+As for improving over time, I think it may be easier to just have multiple NPCs
+which can be enabled/disabled as the player's rank increases. The amount of
+money the NPC has can also increase as the player's rank increases. At every
+rank increase, the NPC gold increases (it's like a credit limit!), and at every
+"title change" (Customer -> Partner -> Member) the quality of gear improves.
+
+### Book - Quests
+
+### Merchant - Inventory
+
+### Merchant - Location Dialog
+
+Based on where the player summons the merchant, their greeting will be
+different. I'm thinking the merchant is knowledgable of, but not experienced
+with, the locations they speak about. They can share information and rumors,
+perhaps even indications of some in-game relevant hints or such, but they've
+also never actually explored Morrowind.
+
+Locations:
+
+- Balmora
+    "The few times I've seen Balmora it has always felt like home. Comfortable,
+    somewhat familiar, despite this unfamiliar realm. Nice little river. Hard to
+    complain about living in such a place."
+- Vivec
+    "So this is a city of a god? I suppose it's impressive. Does this god
+    enforce trade as they do worship? Would they threaten annihilation by large
+    rocks from the sky if deals went ary?"
+- Dwemer Ruins
+    "Our organization has records of trading with those you call the Dwemer. Big
+    into technology. Very innovative. If you find any, pass along our interest
+    in speaking with them about some debts."
+- Ghostgate
+- Tel Mora
+- Tel Vos
+- Ald'Ruhn
+- Saeda Neen
+- Ebonhawk
+
+It would make sense to expand options to include locations from the Tameriel
+Rebuilt, Skyrim, and Cyrodiil landspaces as well. This can come later.
+
+### Merchant - Quests
+
+- One requiring trading in a full set of Daedric armor, and in exchange being
+  given a powerful artifact. Are there Daedric artifacts from lore or other
+  games that aren't in Morrowind, and are they significant enough?
+    - Certain thresholds of pieces, or specific pieces turned in could give some
+    more mundane rewards, as a sort of progression. 
+    - Obviously, if pieces are sold to the merchant, they are removed from it's
+      inventory, but should still count towards this quest.
+
+### Trade House - General
+
+The trade house is a hub and home area. Initially, the player gains access and
+can make use of the amenities listed below. After continuing to raise their
+faction reputation, the trade house expands their inventory, and offers the
+player a permanent room.
+
+**Amenities:**
+
+- The "book inventory" NPC is actually located at this trade house, and offers
+  the same inventory, though in person, that they offered through the book.
+- A bar area offers food and drink, as well as rooms to rent for the evening.
+  Could be really cool to integrate some of the various game mods (Nine Holes,
+  Thirteen Telvani) into this space as well.
+- A small interior courtyard, with some nice artificial lighting, and a few
+  plants which can be harvested. Should be of medium rarity.
+- It could be neat to have a rotating collection of NPCs that each offer
+  different services or unique inventories. For example, could be an alchemist
+  that offers potions and ingredients some days, an enchanter with scrolls and
+  souls on another, and a small mercenary company offering a wide array of
+  trainers.
+
+### Trade House - Quests
+
+### Trade House - Player's Room
+
+Roughly the size of a small apartment, the player's permanent room at the Trade
+House offers several convenience factors. Obviously, the room comes with a bed
+and bedroom furniture. A small entertaining area offers some respawning food and
+drinks. A small garden offers a collection of rarer alchemical ingredients.

+# Otherworldly Inventory Dialog

+The "Otherworldly Inventory" (`vbnd_OtherworldlyInventory`) is the basic and

+- "Yes, I am an actual person. This surprises many, and alarms even a few. Our

+The "Otherworldly Merchant" (`vbnd_OtherworldlyMerchant`) is the "personalized"

+Unlike the somewhat bland Inventory, the Otherworldly Merchant responds to the
