Mighty Mordra

Mighty Mordra is an Orc drunkard and member of the Undaunted found in The Rosy Lion. She is one of the warriors who can be spoken to to start the quest One of the Undaunted. She will tell you about Spindleclutch, marking it on your map if you have not yet discovered it.

You will meet her again at the Anchor's Point Inn in Evermore, where she will tell you about Blackheart Haven.

You can also find Mordra inside Aetherian Archive in Craglorn, where she will challenge you to explore the place and deal with the Celestial Mage. Once you've completed the quest The Missing Guardian, she will offer the same quest at the Star-Gazer's Observatory in Belkarth.

Quest-Related EventsEdit

One of the UndauntedEdit

DaggerfallEdit

She can be found in the Rosy Lion Inn, drinking with Lady Blade, Abzag the Monster and Magnifico Jalid:

Approach Mordra to start your membership with the Undaunted, she will greet you in true Undaunted fashion:

"What do you want, ugly?"

I'm looking for a fight.

Call me ugly again, and you'll have a fight on your hands.

If you exit out of the dialogue and return to her, she'll instead greet you with:

"Still alive, are you? And all your limbs intact? Maybe you should spend more time adventuring and less time at the tavern. Ha!"

I'm looking for a fight.

Call me ugly again, and you'll have a fight on your hands.

Either way, she'll invite you to the group:

"Ha! Is that right? Well then. Sounds to me like you could be one of the Undaunted."

The Undaunted? What's that?

"A league of like-minded adventurers. Every one of us eager for riches and glory.
Sound like anyone you know? So what do you say? Think you can be one of the Undaunted?"

Yes, I want to be one of the Undaunted.

"Are you sure? You'll have to fight the largest, meanest monsters in Tamriel. It's not for the weak of heart."

I am not afraid.

"Then welcome! I think you'll fit right in. Once you prove yourself, of course.
All you have to do is find a cave named Spindleclutch. The one full of bloodthirsty spiders. If you can handle that, return to me here and we'll make it official."

If she is spoken with before completing her challenge she will just say:

"Still alive, are you? And all your limbs intact? Maybe you should spend more time adventuring and less time at the tavern. Ha!"

Mordra will be outside Spindleclutch fishing:

"We'll talk again in Daggerfall. Look for the loud bunch in the back of the Rosy Lion tavern.
Assuming you don't die in that cave, of course."

Want to come in this cave with me?

"No! Mordra hates spiders.
Hates. Spiders."

SpindleclutchEdit

Alternatively, Mordra can be found in Spindleclutch and can be spoken with to apply for membership:

"Off to adventure in this cave full of bloodthirsty spiders, are you? Awful brave of you, facing so many monsters. Hope you brought some friends!"

I'm not afraid of a few spiders.

"Ha! Is that right?
Well then. Sounds to me like you could be one of the Undaunted."

The Undaunted? What's that?

"A league of like-minded adventurers. Every one of us eager for riches and glory. Sound like anyone you know?
So what do you say? Think you can be one of the Undaunted?"

Yes, I want to be one of the Undaunted.

"Are you sure? You'll have to fight the largest, meanest monsters in Tamriel. It's not for the weak of heart."

I am not afraid.

"Then welcome! I think you'll fit right in. Once you prove yourself, of course.
All you have to do is go into this cave. The one full of bloodthirsty spiders. If you can handle that, come see me at the tavern in Daggerfall and we'll make it official."

I'll go in the cave. Want to come with me?

"No! Mordra hates spiders.
Hates. Spiders."

Gathering of the UndauntedEdit

When you exit the dungeon, she'll have left for Daggerfall presumably.

After returning to her in the Rosy Lion Inn, she will say:

"Well, well … took you long enough. Gran-gran could have cleared that cave out faster than you did. And she's only got one arm!"

What's next?

"Ha! Cuts right through my crap, I like it.
Listen, I'm just pulling your tail, friend. You got no worries here. This is the gathering of the Undaunted, and you're about to become one of us! Hope you're ready."

Then she will properly conduct you into the Undaunted: While becoming initiated into the Undaunted:

Mighty Mordra: "Listen up, you bunch of corset-wearing dog-diddlers! We got a new piece of meat on the rack, fresh from the butcher's block!"

Abzag the Monster: "Hear, hear! I've got a proper welcome for 'em—right down in my breeches!"

Lady Blade: "Might be that's a monster they could actually slay, eh Jalid?"

Magnifico Jalid: "Always with the breeches. You lot should get out more. Besides, that's no proper welcome. I propose a toast!"

Abzag the Monster: "Hear, hear! A toast!"

Lady Blade: "To the new meat's mother. May she have many healthy children—since this one's a goner!"

Magnifico Jalid: "To the new meat's lover. May their tears be few and silent—so I don't have to hear it when this one dies!"

Abzag the Monster: "To the new meat's face! May it always bear a smile—so it doesn't look so ugly mounted on a pike!"

Mighty Mordra: "A fine toast to a fine piece of meat. Now let's have a song to finish them off!"

Abzag the Monster: "Who knows no fear … of beast or blade?"

All: "Undaunted! Undaunted!"

Lady Blade: "Who knows no fear … of Daedric planes?"

All: "Undaunted! Undaunted!"

Magnifico Jalid: "Who knows no fear … of death? Of age?"

All: "Undaunted! Undaunted!"

Mighty Mordra: "Not bad—for a bunch of drunken slobs. Ha ha!"

Mighty Mordra: "Hope you enjoyed the show, friend. We do take pride in what we are. Now you can, too."

Afterwards, you can speak with Mordra some more:

"Ah, I love that song."

Do you sing that for everyone?

"Every new member. Sort of a rite of passage. You survived our song. Hopefully, you'll survive the beasts and the bastards waiting in the deeps—to kill you!"

"That's it! Welcome to the Undaunted. Now go make ol' Mordra proud."

What should I do now?

"What we all do! Prove you fear no creature, living or dead. Find the fiercest, wildest, most dangerous monsters in Tamriel, and face them down. Show them the meaning of Undaunted!"

What do I get for being one of the Undaunted?

"You mean besides fame, glory, and the right to brag about any and every thing you do?"

Yes, besides that.

"If the Undaunted know anything, we know how to fight. Stick around and you might learn some new skills.
Then there's the armory. We hold some of the finest weapons and armor in all of Tamriel. It's not free, but only Undaunted have access."

Any dangerous creatures around here I can kill?

"Some lout at the bar was talking about the spider caves of Spindleclutch, up in the Hag Fen. Said a whole squad from the Fighters Guild went in, and not a one came out! Might be something truly nasty hiding in there.
Why don't you go find out? Har!"

The Mage's TowerEdit

Speak to Mordra inside the Aetherian Archive, and she will ask you:

"And who might you be? I suppose you're wanting to go into the Archive? Great. Another raiding party. Where in Oblivion did Brulo get to?"

When you are at the Star-Gazers' Observatory, she will instead casually ask if you are looking for some thrills:

"You look like danger interests you.
What would you say if I knew of a tower of mages that until recently was sealed for centuries, and that was so dangerous that no one has entered the upper halls and lived?"

What is this place? / What tower are you talking about?

"The locals call this tower the Aetherian Archive. It was built thousands of years ago, and sealed until crisis struck Craglorn. But the Undaunted and I heard rumors that its door had opened.
We Undaunted agreed to meet here; climb the Archive."

Where are the Undaunted now?

"In the belly of a dragon? Lost in some hollow? You never know with the Undaunted. We had agreed to meet here, at this tower in Craglorn, but we are easily distracted. Brave and adventurous, but easily distracted
Maybe Brulo found a tavern."

I'll explore the Aetherian Archive first, then.

If you speak with her there afterwards she will poke fun at you: "This doesn't look like the Aetherian Archive. It's going to be hard being the first to the top if you start in the wrong place. Ha! I slay me."

Why are you here in Stargazer [sic] Observatory?

"I was invited by one of the Stargazers [sic], Hara, who told us about the Aetherian Archive. She doesn't seem as interested in going there to meet strange creatures and possibly kill them—but the Undaunted certainly are."

If you are inside Aetherian Archive, Mordra will then warn you, however you can ask her questions about the Archive:

"Be careful if you're going upstairs. These mages are running experiments, and I met several of them a couple floors up who didn't take kindly to visitors. If I had more allies I'd have given them Mauloch's fury. If only Brulo would get here."

Tell me more about the Undaunted.

"We're the bravest fools in Tamriel. Not a hole in the ground we won't leap into, no Daedra or lurking shadow we won't drag to the light—and chop in the neck! The beasts of Craglorn don't fear much, but they should fear the Undaunted!"

Who are these other people in the chamber?

"Lunatics. They claim they were with the original group of mages that entered this tower and sealed themselves in; the Firstmages of Craglorn. That would make them impossibly old, even for Elves."

Who do you think they really are?

"How would I know? They're probably beggars who wandered in from Elinhir when the Archive door opened. Exploring the upper floors is what interests me, not these fools."

What do you know of the Aetherian Archive?

"Local legend says that the Aetherian Archive was built by the Firstmages long before the three towers of Elinhir existed, that those towers were created in homage to the Archive."

Talking to her after completing The Mage's Tower:

"No, don't tell me what's up there. I'll find out all on my own.
Once Brulo gets here. If he survives the gutting I give him."

DialogueEdit

She can also be found drinking in Anchor's Point Inn in Evermore, accompanied by Slays-By-Moon and Sluz the Beryl-Chested.

If you're not Undaunted:

"What do you want, dungheap?"

If you are Undaunted she'll ask how you are doing:

"Are you drunk, yet? 'Cause I am! Undaunted! Har.
So. How are things with you?"

Looking for adventure. Have any recommendations for me?

"Har. You know I do. Mighty Mordra's always ready for action. Just … just as soon as I finish this drink.
But listen—listen. Listen, don't wait for me. Go on ahead. Adventure awaits!"

Where should I go?

"Right! Right, right. A place for an adventure. You know who likes adventure? Pirates. And I know where the pirates are."

Will you tell me where?

"Oh yes, I'll tell you—but only cause I like you. Har. It's called Blackheart Haven. Kind of a big secret, so, you know. Shhh.
But you need a boat to get there! You can catch one off the coast, south of here. And tell 'em Mighty Mordra sent ya!"

System MailEdit

Mighty Mordra will send this message to your mailbox if your group is on the leaderboard for Veteran Aetherian Archive at the end of the week.

For Dauntless Deeds at the Aetherian Archive!

I told a couple of the dog-diddlers here about your feats at the Aetherian Archive, and they thought you deserved a little something when I told them the story. I disagreed — if my Undaunted allies had gotten to the tower sooner, we'd have beaten you like a worn-out rug to the top of that Archive. But I digress, and the greenbacks insisted: We all know you'd happily pick a fight with a Divine if given the choice, so hopefully this will keep you around long enough for us to prove anything you do, we can best! Happy hunting, you lout. Mighty Mordra

NotesEdit

• Mordra gives incorrect direction for the boat to get to Blackheart Haven, saying it is south of her location when it is instead to the north.

BugsEdit

• Mordra's placement is bugged at the Anchor's Point in Evermore, causing her to sit floating in the air off of the bench she is meant to rest upon. ^?
