Morrowind:Shrines
Throughout Vvardenfell, there are numerous shrines which grant temporary boons to anyone, for a small donation.
Tribunal Shrines[edit]
All of these shrines give you at least four options for your blessings. The first three are common to all of them, Cure Common Disease, Cure Blight Disease, and Cure Poison. The other blessings vary from shrine to shrine. The size of the donation required depends on your status with the Tribunal Temple. Non-members must pay 35 gold in order to receive a blessing. Laymen and Novices need pay only 5 gold, and Initiates or above can receive blessings for free.
