Yesterday a thread was created in Bethesda's Morrowind Mods forum titled: "[REL] Mistress Therana Romance Mod!"

I thought, Uh-oh, Vemyn is going to be pissed.

Here is the description of the newly released mod:

What this mod allows you to do:
(1) Flirt with Mistress Therana in her tower and gain her affections
(2) Move into Tel Branora with Mistress Therana and live as master and mistress!
(3) get the Abebaal Egg Mine back in order and gain a profit each week!
(4) go on a honeymoon with mistress Therana in Mournhold
(5) have Mistress Therana as a companion! Complete with unique dialogs for each stage of the main quest. Over 500 lines written!
(6) A quest to cure Mistress Therana's insanity, while learning the secrets of crafting kwama egg golems
(7) Romance mod compatible! Have a child with Mistress Therana
(8) Three new dungeons, including one located in the Shivering Isles, Sheogorath's realm of Oblivion!

At the bottom of the post was a link that led to Nexus. And clicking the link takes you to the Muffinwind page.
Beneath the link was a spoiler tag. When opened it said, "April fools (of course)!"

Now while the post was amusing, what really cracked me up was the reactions of other players once they saw this was a joke and not a real mod.

I wanted this. I was ready to download :cry: This, and an Uncle Crassius romance mod, would make Morrowind complete.

Apart from having children with someone who's obviously mad, I'd actually want to play that mod. Therana making a scene at the Winged Guar. Doing bizarre quest about ordering 248 kwama eggs from the kitchen instructing them to be placed in specific patterns in the suite while Therana is out finding a new Khajiit skin wardrobe.

I was enjoying reading about that "mod", too. Maybe it would interest a modder to actually make it?

But seriously, Therana is such a great character, I will always welcome any mod related to her, be it romance or just her making you spider pancakes or something.

Mistress Therana may be old and crazy, but she's still got it.

I'm surprised there hasn't been an Crassius Curio romance mod made.

LOL Princess Stomper made another post in the thread and said this about the mod she put together:

Just had a look - Crassius works fine, Therana crashes.

So the world crashes if you try to romance Therana. Sounds like the work of Vemyn.

Ah, I took a look at the thread, you have to be the Nerevarine to romance Curio. I don't play Silvercat as the Nerevarine, because he isn't.

Man, I almost forgot about you guys! We need a Skype or a MUD or something.

Therana the crazy lady, eh?

Why not?

Easy role IMO. Helps if one's fave House is Telvanni (So one knows little things like how much she hates ash yams) and if one's sanity is questionable IRL (which probably applies to, hmm, all of us? XD ).

I would suggest that Therana and Neloth have a past, one from which Neloth flees with as much dignity as possible. Because lulz!

Edit: This would be the untold story of Neloth's move to Solstheim.

We need a nice simple Skyrim mod that puts ash yam plants all around his house then, juuuuust in case!

Last Edit: May 26, 2016 14:08:11 GMT -6 by Siva Smith (Iona): more idea

We crack ship Dagoth Vemyn/Mistress Therana. They're married now, having loads of fun and deeply disturbing to outright disgusting everyone around them as they combine love play and necromancy- and being very exhibitionist about it. They love to show off.

They were an item way back when before Red Mountain, war, and Vivec, and finding each other again after Vemyn reforms and comes back is truly poignant while others watch with dread.

Neloth and Therana, as I see them, were probably on somewhat friendly basis when they were Chimer. There was talk of an arranged marriage between them, but that just never came about. Not for any real bad reason, perhaps they just weren't into each other. Neloth was a loner, and had his ambitions, and Therana found Dagoth Vemyn.

Today Neloth is married to Master Aryon's daughter (a character of mine). Of course Master Aryon isn't entirely pleased about that, though he respects his daughter's choice.

YAY! Mission accomplished!

Edit: I wasn't thinking to have anyone RP any NeloTherana. I'd been thinking to retcon it. As if it had ended long ago.
