"It is the color of a bleached skull, his flesh; and the long hair
which flows below his shoulders is milk-white. From the tapering,
beautiful head stare two slanting eyes, crimson and moody, and
from the loose sleeves of his yellow gown emerge two slender
hands, also the color of bone."

Welcome!
Check out my new
portal at elricm.com, which
I hope to continuously add to as I get time. The focus now is mostly
Morrowind related materials. Here I have posted a few character pics and
a some mods that I'm working on for this
great game that's been taking so much time out of my life, TES III Morrowind.
You can navigate around by clicking on the blue
or orange bars within the page, or the
navigation bar to the left. If you have mod ideas, things you'd like to see, by all
means please email them to me (or PM me over at the forums). Always
looking for a great idea! Please send me a PM
at the Elder Scrolls forums (Elric_Melnibone) or a quick
email.
You can also use the contact form on
this site. And while you're here, please feel free to
add your comments to the site Guest Log or
send me your Feedback
I am also hosting plugins created by my Modding partner on the Ancient,
Monica21. Please take a look at
Monica's Mods, she's got some really great stuff there. We have also
put up a
Community Forum where you can ask questions on installation or game
play issues related to our mods.
WIP: I am currently also working on a small quest to retrieve
The Black
Sword. The screenie currently says "Stormbringer" although this sword
will not be Stormbringer. However, it has some properties that
you might be interested in. Like if you (the Player) "feed" the sword,
the sword will feed you. Kills add to a pool of life-force in the sword,
and this life-force is returned to the player in order to replenish your
fatigue, health and Magicka points. The amounts returned are in
proportion to your current stats. So Magicka users get more Magicka,
Warriors get more health.
Thanks for visiting and hope you enjoy the ride

Netscape, Mozilla and Firefox Users! : I've given up trying to
use CSS attributes like z positioning and fixed background images
since none of the Netscape derived browsers support that. It's a
shame that they don't and IE does. Strange world. In any case, my
Firefox/Mozilla users are now at almost 30% so I'm making my site
Mozilla friendly even though what I did in the past was standard W3C
html and CSS.
MOD File Validity and Verification
All plugin's and mod files on this
site have been verified to be "clean". I use TESAME as a last
check to make sure that no unwanted changes are in any of these
files. In addition, all files have been scanned with the latest
update of Norton AntiVirus
This is a new updated Better Bodies version of the Melnibonean Race mod with 4 additional female character models. The textures have been updated to match the Melnibonean skin tones and hair color. This version includes all the characters and models from version 1.
The interior has been completely redecorated, and a previously
"hidden" basement is now accessible through a trapdoor in the
library. The manor comes with an auto-sorting alchemy lab, 40 armor
mannequins, plenty of storage space, and of course, Creeper!
New category,
Face Mods for listing some of the new faces I've been
working on. The first is my version of
Angelina Jolie.
Have a look!

A new exterior building mod pack from
TextureFreak. This is a
Hlaalu Desert Pack, exterior buildings designed to go
with his desert sands modpack. Check out
Texture Freak's Mods page.
UPDATE: The Ancient is now about 50% done. We've added several
locations and updated the storyline. Many of the main storyline
characters and their dialogs have been created. It's a lot of fun and
it's also a lot of work! (but it sure is fun...)
The ANCIENT is a new mod currently under development. A Joint project
that is written, coded and produced by Elric_Melnibone and Monica21. The
Ancient attempts to unravel the mystery of a world before man, before
the Vampires, to the ancient times of the Aedra and newly formed Daedra.
Discover the story of the rise of the Aedra Princes, who lead by the
most powerful of them all attempt to banish the Daedra Gods who have
captured the hearts of Mer and Men alike. However, as quick as their
rise was the speed of their fall leading to the final battle between the
Mer-Kings and the Ancient One. But alas, through an incalculable error,
the Ancient escapes defeat by transforming into a new being and living
on to rampage the land and its men. Join us in an enthralling quest to
find and destroy the Ancient who has created a new race later to become
known as the Vampires.
In this quest you must seek out the mystery, find the clues and uncover
the secrets behind the Ancient One and his followers. Along the way you
will be able to free the "un-free-able" slaves of Morrowind and discover
great treasure, new armor sets and weapons.
Watch this space for details, we'll be updating the site with our progress.
Some photos of my avatar, "Elric of
Melnibone" who is based on Michael Moorcock's namesake hero from the
Elric Of Melnibone series of sword and fantasy books.
Elric is an albino who is physically weak
and keeps himself alive and his health shored up through many drugs and
potions created through his use of sorcery. In fact, a paradoxical
outcome of his investigations into herb magic and the arcane arts is
that Elric becomes a powerful sorcerer able to command the lesser
minions of hell itself and have them abide by his whim. His finicky
patron god is the Lord of Chaos himself, Duke Arioch of Hell who demands
souls as payment for his assistance (when he so chooses to give it).
Elric carries the runeblade, Stormbringer, which has the ability to
transfer to its owner the strength of the victims it takes. It does this
through a "feeding" upon the unfortunate victim's soul, sending the soul
to eternal hell and the victim's life-force into Elric. Thus, Elric
discovers that with the sword, he no longer needs to rely on potions and
foul tasting ingredients to sustain himself, the strength derived
through the sword has transformed him into an unparalleled warrior.
Unfortunately, the sword does not distinguish between friend and foe.
Many have died at it's thirst including his beloved Cymoril who life
ended at the end of his own blade.
Thus is now the life of Elric of
Melnibone, who in a symbiotic relationship with his hellblade,
Stormbringer, wander the land seeking adventure.
I have two sets of armor mods so far. One is based on the Adamantium
armor (and Helm of Tohan) plugins and the other is based on the Feminine
Domina series for female characters. Both sets of plugins were
originally downloaded from Bethesda, then the NIF and texture files were
changed. For each set, you do not need the Bethesda plugins beforehand.
The Adamantium series comes complete with all the NIFs, icons, texture
files and body parts for the armor. The Domina armor is a repackaging of
the LeFemmDomina plugin by Bethesda.
The Adamantium armor comes in two flavors, one is a beefier version
that's just qualified as "Heavy" armor, the other has the same stats as
Daedric. The ladies Domina armor has the same stats as glass.
This place
is for some test mods and other fun things that I might decide to do.
In the
course of making the "Ancient", many tests have to be done which I
usually do outside the mod itself in order to keep it clean.
Occasionally I'll put them up here for others to play with if people
think that's a cool idea. Usually there's a little "reward" waiting at
the end of the test.
I also just
started a page for little known or unusual things in Morrowind.
Besides the
Armor, Weapon and other general mods like the Creeper etc., these are
the quest related mods including my partner Monica21's page. Right now
the only quest related mod is The Ancient which is still under
development. I also have a new "Hosted Mods" page.
Please visit
my Hosted Mods page and Monica21's page if you're looking for some
spectacular house mods.
The only
weapon mod I currently have available is the sword, STORMBRINGER. This
sword was fashioned after the legendary 'Stormbringer' from the Michael
Moorcock 'Elric' series. The legend has it that the sword will return
strength to its wielder in return for feeding on the souls of victims.
Hence the sword is enchanted with "Stormbringer's Thirst" a Cast When
Used enchantment with Soul Trap 120secs and Absorb Health 10-30pts for
3sec. The sword is created from a Daedric Claymore with reduced weight
and the speed of a Daedric Dai-Katana.
