No matter what the locals say, the practice is not outlawed by the Empire, you should know that. They have nothing to fear of me.

In the Empire, necromancy is a legitimate discipline, though body and spirit are protected property, and may not be used without permission of the owner. But in Morrowind, the Dunmer loathe necromancers, and put them to death. That's absurd, of course, since the Dunmer summon their OWN dead to guard tombs and defend the family. Sacred necromancy is righteous, while philosophical necromancy is evil. It's primitive superstition, that's all.

I have not yet had word from Arch-Mage Trebonius in Vivec. Until then, I must consider you expelled.

You were still expelled from the Mages Guild last I heard. Be patient. The Guild does not move quickly here in Vvardenfell.

I cannot discuss these matters with you. You have been expelled.

It is always a shame when any wizard turns to necromancy.

While killing is never pleasant, it is sometimes necessary. Telura Ulver is dead. You have proven yourself to the Guild, %PCName.

Kill the necromancer Telura Ulver and report back to me.

The Necromancer is Telura Ulver, a former Mages Guild member. She may be found in Shal.

Yes, I am a Necromancer. What of it? Are you foolish enough to think you can punish me?

I'll leave for the mainland as soon as I get a few things together. There are many other towns in need of a healer. Tell Ranis Athrys that I am dead.

If Ranis has held a grudge this long, it would be best for me to leave for the mainland. There are plenty of towns that could use a healer. Tell Ranis Athrys that I am dead. I will leave Vvardenfell and Ranis need never know.

Spirits of my ancestors protect me!

Oh, I see. I refused to join the Mages Guild. I chose to practice healing among my people, away from the politics of the Guild. Since I was a Velothi and not well born like Ranis... Well, it's not important now. Maybe I know a way out of this situation.

Ask anyone in the village. I'm no necromancer and anyone around here can tell you the truth of the matter.

Very well. I'll leave for the mainland once I get a few things together. Report back to Ranis Athrys that I am dead.

Necromancy? I am NOT a necromancer. Who said I was a... a necromancer?

I have not had word that you were in good standing again. If you persist in this behavior, I will be forced to make a formal complaint to Arch-Mage Trebonius.

You were expelled some time ago. Do not expect me to help you now.

You have been expelled. I can't say I am surprised. There are so few truly dedicated to our cause here in Vvardenfell.

There is one less necromancer here in Vvardenfell thanks to you, %PCName.

Wait... You already killed Tashpi? I wish you had told me sooner.

You've killed Tashpi? Good work, %PCName. These scrolls should help you deal with any other necromancers you find.

She is truly dead? You have done me... the Guild, that is, a great service. These scrolls should help you deal with any other necromancers you find.

I do not see what could possibly be difficult about this assignment, %PCName. Find Tashpi Ashibael in Maar Gan and kill her.

Did you kill the necromancer?

It's not a difficult assignment, %PCName. Go to Maar Gan. Find Tashpi Ashibael. Kill her.

Find Tashpi Ashibael in Maar Gan and kill her. The Mages Guild cannot tolerate necromancers.

Tashpi is not a necromancer. Who have you been talking to?

Tashpi? The healer? She's no necromancer.

Necromancy is the evil sorcery of the invaders, an abomination to our ancestors. All true Dunmer worship their ancestors, and honor their traditions. Our ancestors now are mad with shame and hatred, seeing us brought low by beasts and lesser races. Only when we have driven the foreigners from the land can our ancestors rest.

Necromancy is not illegal, per se, in the Empire, though body and spirit are protected as property, and may not be used without permission of the owner, and public display of the living dead is widely prohibited. Mages may purchase corpses and souls for philosophical research, and may do with them as they wish in private. Necromancers and vampires are widely confused in the public mind, and persecuted, but in remote locations, necromancers are free to pursue their studies without legal interference.

Ignorant foreigners confuse our communication and reliance upon our ancestor spirits with necromancy, but ancestor veneration is holy and pious, while necromancy is godless, perverse sorcery.

Foolish outlanders believe WE are necromancers because we are protected by our ancestors. Outlanders know nothing about the sacred honor of ancestors faithfully protecting their living kin.

Necromancy is an evil magic that forces the spirits and remains of our ancestors to serve a black sorcerer. There is no greater evil than profaning the bones or spirits of our fathers.

According to the Dunmer, animation or control of a deceased's flesh or spirit is righteous when practiced according to established cult ritual, but illegal and abominable when practiced by secular sorcerers. However, in Telvanni districts, necromancy is privately practiced by wizards in defiance of Temple censure.

Our practice of binding our dead to protect sacred and family property is our right, and protected by Temple and Imperial law.

The traditional Dunmer practices of sanctified invocation of spiritual and bodily remains to protect sacred and family property are universally approved and protected by Temple and Imperial law.

Our traditional practice of ancestor worship is NOT necromancy. Only ignorant outlanders could mistake our sacred rituals for the vile sorceries of necromancers.

Under the terms of the Armistice, necromancy defined as "animation and control of a deceased's flesh or spirit" is punishable by death.

Necromancy is useless.

Necromancy may not be prohibited under Imperial law, but here in Morrowind it is proscribed as an abomination by the Temple. The Armistice allows Ordinators to mercilessly hunt down necromancers who are practicing their craft anywhere the Temple holds sway.

Ignorant foreigners confuse our communication and reliance upon our ancestor spirits with necromancy, but our ancestor veneration is holy and pious, while necromancy is godless, perverse sorcery.

Western practices of necromancy find little purchase here in Morrowind due to the natives' hostile attitude towards them. Ironically, those same natives practice their own version of necromancy, and, do what we might, we are powerless to curb those practices.

The Temple says it's evil and illegal, but if you ask me, that makes it all the more delighting. They're probably too weak to handle those creatures, so they want to ban their summoning. At the same time, they worship their ancestors and have them guard Red Mountain. Hypocrites! Not even the Empire fears necromancy.

Yes, that is how my magical talent manifested. I think necromancy is evil only when it is used for evil. I want to be able to use my talent to protect myself and my clan, but if they knew, they would make me stop. What good would that do any of us? Maybe one day I can tell them and they will understand.

You're not? No problem. Sabine and I have practiced the dark arts for over a century now. In fact, if everything goes according to plan, we'll be immortal together in the not too distant future. Perfectly protected by each other's greatest weakness.
