A ZNPC Update but Spooky

Since my last update, a little over a month ago, I've added 12 new NPCs, started writing up 6 more, added 3 quests, a new weapon, and got some other miscellaneous things done. Needless to say, September was probably my most productive month yet.

As I mentioned I would do in my last update, I've shifted my focus, for now, over to almost completely mundane, civilian NPCs. Some notable NPCs among these "normal" characters are Abaalah, an elderly Kothringi student at the College of Winterhold, Ohalyria, a Maormeri assassin working for the Imperial Legion, and Llerukal, an ordinary miner in Dawnstar.

Additionally, I've added a new follower. Well, a follower pair. For 1500 gold, you can hire the "Champion of Wayrest", Jacque Mercois, and his Kothringi partner, Nuriel. I've also decided to cut down on dialogue for my "super followers". This project takes much more work than I anticipated, and to add the 1000+ lines to each super follower to make it on par with Interesting NPCs AND build the 4 Snow Elf colonies would take way too long. The NPCs designated as super followers still have a lot of dialogue, much more than other followers, and their traits, but they won't have nearly as many lines as those from Interesting NPCs. 

Among the new quests is an unmarked one with a Lilmothiit scammer, Amaret. Play your cards right, and you might score The Beguiler, a nifty little dagger that does more damage to enemies under the influence of an Illusion spell.

Details on the newly added NPCs, quests, and everything else that's been added since my last update will soon be added to the appropiate sections of the Zebsirous NPC Expansion page, located on the sidebar.
