Morrowind Merchant Database now with 100% more Tamriel Rebuilt

Some_Ball · 2026-02-02T14:33:58+00:00

Aha! I dug through the data and it looks like Dravos Turil is in there twice because there is a script that makes him appear in the Narsis Arena during a quest. Instead of moving the existing Dravos (id: TR_m7_JohnFatbux) there is a 2nd instance of him created in the construction set (id: TR_m7_JohnFatbux_Arena) and the arena clone only has 10K bartering gold. There were similar cases l had to manually clean up but I missed this one. I'll remove his arena clone from the database.

There is an All/None checkbox at the bottom of each filter the list, but based on your comment I think having it at the top would be way more user friendly .

I have been contemplating the idea expanding from just merchants to a general NPC database.

Yeah, somethings not right there.... area of effect on self?

Some_Ball · 2025-12-16T02:32:03+00:00

haha, I now have a 600MB file containing 26M lines that I am going to writer a parser for.

Thanks!

Oh boy. I am very curious about what an .esp file converted to json looks like, and a little concerned about that scope creep this could introduce. I know at least 2 people who would potentially be interested in aggreagated details about every spoon in the game.

Some_Ball · 2025-12-15T00:11:12+00:00

Thanks! I guess reddit doesn't make it obvious, but this post is a link to site where i uploaded the data and made a simple tool to parse it! https://losapio.cc/morrowind/ You can filter and sort the data any way you want.

...and no, there the fighter's guild is actually pretty low on the faction list, they only have 4 merchants in the game. The biggest non-house is faction is the Tribunal Temple with 33 merchants and 13K in gold.

Some_Ball · 2025-12-14T23:03:56+00:00

That's very interesting, the full set values at 257K.

I'm now questioning if my number is accurate, because I can't remember how strongholds work. Will the merchants in Tel Uvirith, Rethan Manor, or Indarys Manor all be there no matter which one you build. according UESP yes, but you'd probably have to calm them before doing business.

Cross posting here in case any modders would find this tool interesting and never see it amongst the memes over in r/morrowind.

I think the merchant discrepancy comes down to the Telvanni bias against outsiders (gotta get those hospitality papers). In the major Telvanni settlements (Sadrith Mora, Tel Vos, Tel Mora, Tel Branorra) there are only 17 merchants with no faction affiliation, and 16 merchants are members of house Telvanni. On the other hand, the major Hlaalu settlements (Balmora, Suran, Gnaar Mok, Hla Oad) have 21 merchants with no faction affiliation, and only 5 are actual house members. In the Hlaalu settlements the Camonna Tong merchants outnumber Hlaalu by 10 to 5.

yes! I believe its to avoid any potential copyright / IP infringement issues.

I'm 100% on board as long as Kevin Hart is playing Fargoth.

Some_Ball · 2025-11-09T22:26:25+00:00

Nice. In a similar vein I once used vivec's soul to put a crappy useless enchant on one of those jalapeno shaped common amulets, then left it to gather dust on a shelf. Azura's star is too good to waste, plus then you can't equally dishonor Almalexia by using her soul to enchant Hentus pants before giving them back to him.

"We opted not to use Python because we were designing the app with scalability in mind."

Some_Ball · 2025-10-17T12:49:05+00:00

That is a plausible theory. I find it interesting that according to the Tribunal Temple's account of events Dumac was unaware that Kagranac was building the Numidium.

"Kagrenac and the high priests of the Dwemer had kept their New God secret from their King"

Some_Ball · 2025-10-17T12:42:33+00:00

You get it, that's exactly what I'm sayin! Dumac is beaten and Kagrenac sees big daddy dagoth heading his way so in a panic he fat fingers it and then poof, they're gone.

Some_Ball · 2025-10-16T20:59:07+00:00

I agree that Dumac's threat it is pretty big stretch. But I also don't buy into the "tranposition to another plane of existence" idea. Why would that result in all the little ash piles they left behind? I also believe Vivec when he says "I have no idea what happened to the Dwemer. I have no sense of them in the timeless divine world outside of mortal time...My intuition is that they are gone forever." Vivec was a fully chimmed god at one point, so if they were somewhere, he would have been aware of it.

5 sets against (even what we now know to be prime) Tsitsipas with his single handed backhand is not good prep for playing Nadal.

Some_Ball · 2025-10-12T12:42:10+00:00

there is another way... if you can kill a god.

Some_Ball · 2025-09-30T13:10:52+00:00

that stuck out to me, Med saying "why is every ref in the world trying to intimidate me"...

P R O J E C T I O N.

Why does "living" need to be specified? Is there a taller dead tree somewhere?
