Add-on mods' quests

The Lost Legacy of the Nine

This mod adds an unmarked quest to finish the armor as well as an official start for Legacy's crusader relics quest, and adds in a more lore friendly story of the 4th era Knights of the Nine. It is script free and as such should make it mergeable, but does still have a lot of work to be done.

Relic Hunter (Legacy and ASLAL addon)

This addon was newly released alongside Version 19. It is a variation on the Alternate Start where the player starts as the Guildmaster of the Explorer's Society. It skips A Room with a View and Digging Up Explorers and gives the player several explorer relics from the start.

Quest Name Description
Akaviri Rising The Guild Master of the Explorer's Society awakens after a nasty bump on the head to continue excavating an Akaviri tomb to retrieve a Relic and begin his adventure filling the Dragonborn Gallery with Auryen.
