[edit] Detailed Walkthrough

[edit] First Phase

[edit] Starting the Process

Once you reach the rank of Mouth you can start the construction of your stronghold by talking with Llunela Hleran in the Telvanni Council House in Sadrith Mora. She will tell you that you need a construction contract from Duke Vedam Dren in the Grand Council Chamber in Ebonheart and that you must collect two strong souls.

[edit] Getting the Contract and the Souls

All that Vedam requires is for you to give an oath to aid the people of Vvardenfell for you to receive the contract. If you have already received Moon-and-Star from Azura, he will give it to you without hesitation, for all the noble acts you have done for Morrowind. The best way to get the souls is summon two of the suggested beasts. Once the two souls gems are filled, return to Hleran to begin the first phase of construction on your stronghold. After a few days you'll receive a journal entry prompting you to speak with Hleran again.

Warning: She will gladly accept Azura's Star as one of the soul gems, and she will not give it back. Make sure you store it somewhere before you go to her with the souls.

[edit] Checking on the Progress

Hleran will now give you the stronghold's location (Tel Uvirith in the Uvirith's Grave area), northwest of the Erabenimsun Camp, far west-southwest of Sadrith Mora. Speak with the site foreman there, the Orc Gashnakh gra-Mughol, and return to report to Hleran.

You will receive another journal entry in a few days when the construction is finished.

[edit] Second Phase

Once the first phase of construction on your stronghold is complete, you can speak with Hleran again to begin your first upgrade. Hleran will ask you for 5,000 gold and some Dwemer plans from the ruins of Mzanchend (northwest of your stronghold). Bring the plan and the gold back to Hleran to start the upgrade construction.

You will receive a journal entry in a few days once construction is complete.

[edit] Third Phase

[edit] Guards Needed

Once you reach the rank of Master or Magister, speak to Hleran again to begin your second and last upgrade to your tower. She will tell you that guards are needed for your stronghold and that you'll need to find the book Secrets of the Dwemer Animunculi, found only in the vampire lair Galom Daeus, to create the guards.

[edit] Getting the Book

The lair is west-south-west of your tower and it is a dangerous place, as it is home to the Berne Clan of vampires. Retrieve the book and return to Hleran, who will order the final phase of construction to begin (note that when you collect the book you also gain the Dwemer Animunculi spell to summon a Centurion Sphere, the only known way to get it).

You'll receive a journal entry in a few days once the construction is complete.

[edit] Notes

• After the second and third phases, there are ebony weapons and special brandies around in the hovels and the tower.
• The Secrets of Dwemer Animuncili can be shown to Edwinna Elbert for a Mages Guild faction increase. If you refuse to show it to her, then her disposition drops 30 points. If you show it to her, her disposition increases by 25 points. (Although the book may be acquired without being Telvanni you can't talk to her about it as you lack the topic needed.)
• Console cheat for the book:

player->AddItem "bk_SecretsDwemerAnimunculi", 1
