The House of Tides (OpenMW)
Brief Description
Join a trade-themed faction, with quests, unique items, and a new location to call home. Interact with the House of Tides anywhere, bartering for goods, completing quests to expand their offerings, and eventually gaining access to their exchange!
Detailed Description
For as long as there have been possessions, there has been trade. For as long as there has been trade, there has been the House of Tides. Though it is not always called such by the many realms it touches. The House of Tides prides itself on quality mercantile interactions, offering remote services through their magical ledgers. As customers gain favor, their credit limits increase, and the inventories of House of Tides clerks and merchants improve. The most loyal customers are even invited to physical exchanges, where they can interact with other customers, or even find residence.
This mod adds a new faction for players to interact with. It has quests, some unique items, and a new location to call home. When players first join the faction, they can use their magical ledger to interact with a merchant from anywhere at any time. Though this merchant's inventory is extremely limited, the player can purchase trade contracts to expand it. As players rise in ranks, the barter gold this anywhere-merchant has also increases, as does the quality and variety of items offered by trade contracts. Higher rank players can eventually unlock a personalized merchant, with more barter gold, offering unique items in exchange for items or deeds. The highest rank players can visit the House of Tides Exchange, where they can help expand the exchange to a full-service location accessible through their magical ledger.
