#modathon

It's that time of year again, on May 1st, The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind will turn 24 years old, inching ever closer to that quarter-of-a-century milestone, and to celebrate this historic occasion, the Morrowind Modding Community is proud to present the 12th consecutive annual Morrowind May Modathon Month Modding Competition!

Starting on May 1st and going through to June 2nd, any and all mods and modders are welcome to participate in the 2026 Morrowind Modathon, a free-for-all modding competition and modding extravaganza to celebrate Morrowind's 24th anniversary!

Since 2015, some 1,800 mods have been submitted for the Morrowind Modathons, and I sincerely hope you'll all join us for another exciting round of this proud annual modding tradition!

There will, of course, be shiny new achievement badges for modders to unlock, weekly random-drawing prizes (in the form of Steam game keys), new weekly themed challenges to flex your creative muscles, and much more! To learn more about the competition and how you can participate, check out our announcement threads on the Nexus or on Reddit, or stop by our Discord channel with any questions you might have!

This year, we have over 90 different achievement badges for modders to unlock by releasing mods, including standard-fare metric and category achievements, as well as themed challenge achievements, and numerous hidden cheevos - can you guess the requirements based solely on a name? Unlock as many as you can and embed them into your mod pages or your Nexus profiles!

Itching for a challenge or want a writing prompt to get you started? This year we have another batch of four weekly challenge themes, can you make a mod to match each one? Remember, these challenge themes are, of course, OPTIONAL, but if you want to go for that extra creative flex, they do come with a number of new achievement badges for you to unlock!

My mod SOTM came out the other week! Current version is 0.6! You can play a demo/preview of Saensha's questline right now!

My 9th mod for Modathon fits Wraithguard with the infinity gems and adds a new backdoor way of completing the main quest which elaborates on Wraithguard's new look. Look for a golden saint in one of the Dwemer Gate Citadels on Red Mountain who has a request from the Lord of Madness. Dagoth Ur will also comment on Wraithguard’s new appearance. Once you banish the heart, Wraithguard will be fully restored and you will be able to perform "The Snap" eliminating half of life in the universe ("Aurbis"). And you'll also be able to travel to a new realm known only as "The Garden" to enjoy your well-earned retirement along with a balanced diet of alien fruit.

The 2024 Morrowind May Modathon Month Modding Competition, the largest annual modding competition in The Elder Scrolls modding community, begins May 1st-June 2nd!

Celebrating Morrowind's 22nd birthday, this is our tenth year running the Modathons, and for such a big anniversary, we naturally have a lot of fun stuff planned! New challenges, some 94 new achievements designed by Melchior Dahrk, new prizes to win and oh so much more!

Over the last ten years, some 1300+ new Morrowind mods have been released for the May Modathon competitions, and this year will continue that fine tradition with a new free-for-all event where any and all modders are welcome!

If you're interested in participating, want to learn the rules, see a full list of achievements, or check out the results from past Modathons, stop by our official announcement threads on Nexus Mods, Reddit, and of course, our Discord channel over on the Morrowind Modding Community server!

My 3rd entry for Modathon. Adds a new book "The Ayembedt for Outlanders" to the game. This book contains artwork for each letter in the daedric "ayembedt" as I have called it. The art is by Fury_On and is used with permission. To get your own copy of the book, you must help the author (who is on his own quest to improve literacy among outlanders) get the book ready to publish.

My 4th mod for the Modathon started as a simple house mod and expanded into an entire smuggling faction. But you can still choose the high road and be rewarded for killing Dura as instructed. Get to work with Larrius Varro again as he sticks his nose into more of Vvardenfell's dirty business. Or choose the profitable path of a smuggler and climb the ranks to become the local boss.

With the frozen soul of a Frost Atronach trapped in its core, the Snowy Crown mace was created by the dwemer to freeze their opponents in their tracks.
