I am writing this because I'd like to know if anyone else has the same problem as I do. The official Morrowind forums appear to be out of order :( Anyway, I was all excited to have my stronghold and become a wizard in House Talvani (sp?) I am already arch mage of Imperial Mage Guild. Anyway so the chick who lives in the Hermitage says I need to go check on my stronghold. Since it's in the middle of nowhere, I trek out there and when I get there I find the guy thats supposed to be working on it (but there's no stronghold.) so I talk to the guy and he says "Oh, no problems here, it'll be done in about a week." So I sit there and sleep for 2 weeks waiting for my tower to show up... it never does, but some more squares appear in my local map but when I move my mouse over them nothing shows up. Now I talk to the guy who was supposed to be building my stronghold and he says "Who's there?" like I'm invisible or something. I figure the game musta freaked out because I was in the same map that it was trying to put my stronghold. So I leave and go to the opposite end of the world, and sleep for a few days, and come back -- no different. No stronghold, the guy who was supposed to build it says "Who's there?" when I talk to him. So I go to talk to the chick in the Hermitage again, and she says "Who's there?" so then I get this funny feeling that I'm never gonna see the stronghold and that I may as well just continue on the blades quest... I spose I've postponed that long enough trying to become arch mage and all... and I'm like level 27 and now able to take such monsters as golden saints and winged night and storm astronauts. so I should be able to go back to the blades quests. and I'm filthy rich cuz I can capture souls and sell them for lots of money. ANYWAY the point is, has anyone else experienced this problem and if so does anyone know how to fix it? btw does anyone know where I can buy the best soul gems or are they just really rare?

Well, as for your stronghold - have you tried reloading a game before the event?
As for soulgems : get yourself azura's star - there's alot of spoils in the forum as how to get it... But often when exploring bandit lairs I find several grand soulgems in crates and barrels.

My only save thats behind the "too late" point is a LONG way behind, probable eight hours of playing that I'd have to redo. I'm not willing to do that unless I need a stronghold to beat the game. Is the stronghold a necessity to beat the game?
