I thought it was very nice of Bethesda Software to include a Lord Brinne's Cave in the Elder Scrolls Morrowind.JVC really outdid himself in MM, uh, was it 7 or 8? with the tribute temple of remembered Taverners. I love that sort of semi Easter egg in games!

The following is from 'Free Erathia!', TELP's MM7 website.------------------------------------------------ Steve Jaqvaar, Musical And Ritual Adviser for the Guild Of The Wooden Flute and TELP member, has provided the following: Lord Brinne was a poster on the old MM6 WWWBoard. More of an Ultima fan, he is remembered by those who knew him as the voice of reason, a friendly and always jolly person who solved disputes and guided newbies. I did not have the chance to really get to know him, so I could not tell you much. We only spoke a couple of times briefly. His death came as a shock to the whole RPG community, and naturally to the Might and Magic fans who knew him. In July 1999, Guthwulf (at the time the 3DO webmaster) asked Zoop (the producer of the series) to include some sort of tribute to Lord Brinne in the upcoming "Day of the Destroyer". There was also a thought to include a group of friends known as "the Guild Of the Wooden Flute" in one of the future M&M games. Eventually, there was a proposal to make some sort of mausoleum in honour of Lord Brinne and have the GWF guard it. The Guild was much smaller at the time (14-15 members, if I remember well), but much more active. Zoop asked me to provide a list of people we would offer to guard the tomb. Later on (just before the game came out), DaveO made another list, and eventually we combined the two and gave Zoop 12 names, to which he also added King Louis and Guthwulf (14 in total). There are many who believe that perhaps the guards should be Lord Brinne's personal friends, rather than some musicians who hardly knew him. I will actually agree with this, though it is hard to define such values. All I can say is that we are honoured to guard the tomb, and have been doing our best at it. I only have a faint memory of his Lordship, while others don't even have that. Yet we often feel a warmth radiating from his sarcophagus...or could that be the music of the Flute?

. . . I always seriously regretted that my access to the net in those days was severely curtailed by the size of my telephone bill which, because I needed it for my work, was monstrous. I paid the occasional visit under the handle of Peter, but didn't become a frequent visitor until I got broadband. That, of course, changed my access details, so that when I rejoined as Peter, I was told that that handle was already in use. I could have argued, but it was simpler to become Peter2. I wish I could remember exactly when that was, but it was so long ago now that the details are lost in the mental mists of time.

In those days, the Community didn't exist, . . .

. . . simply because the communications to make it didn't exist. All you had were first a few friends, and later, the magazines. The community as we know it started to develop when the internet arrived, but it was pretty limited until broadband came along. To give a flavour of what those days were like, I remember a friend of mine who was asked to evaluate a program — size about about 54 Mb, IIRC. The area he lived in was not equipped for broadband, and on his dial-up modem, the predicted download time was 16 hours, and there was no way his phone line was going to remain stable for that long. Fortunately for him, I had just got my first broadband link, so I downloaded it for him, and I think it took me about 30 minutes.

A few friend is almost always better than a handful of nobodys... Or is it?

Since Bethesda Software has included a Lord Brinne's Cave in the Elder Scrolls Morrowind I conclude they have known him ?

Ashes of Lord Brinne, located in Samarys Ancestral Tomb. There is also the Mentor's Ring in this urn. Lord Brinne was the online name of Bill Iburg, an Elder Scrolls fan who died unexpectedly during the development of Morrowind. The urn, and his ashes, were placed in the game as a tribute. Lord Brinne also received similar tributes in other games that were in development at the time: Might and Magic VIII, Deus Ex and Ultima IX: Ascension.
