I've been through the FAQs on www.gamefaqs.com, and GameSpot's guide to
Morrowind, but I don't have a clear sense on how to get involved with
Twin Lamps. The general idea seems to be, free enough slaves, and you'll
get the password, at which point you talk to the leader of the Twin
Lamps and she'll give you more missions. Apparently, I've never freed
enough slaves to have that happen.

Earlier today, I ran into an escaped slave (Neer-Jah?) near the
Erabenimsun camp, and escorted him to the Argonian Mission in Ebonheart.
That was quite a hike. Anyway, one of the Argonians in the mission
thanked my character, gave her an enchanted belt (fortifies health, not
a charged effect) and said something along the lines of, if she
continues on this path, the lamps will help her. This seemed like some
sort of start to a series of quests, so I'm wondering if there's any
follow up.

A couple of slaves also ask if you are from the Twin Lamps, if you free
them of course. Unfortunately, the faction doesn't actually exist in the
game. In the construction set though there is a setting for Twin Lamps
so perhaps they didn't have time to properly implement it.

That doesn't help you though, but if you look at
http://thelys.mwsource.com/ in the mods section, there is a Twin Lamps
mod by Brother Juniper which activates them as a faction and adds
several quests for them, with a well detailed storyline.

Pretty much all the mods at TheLys are quite excellent.

Thanks for the link. It looks like a good site.

I suppose I shouldn't be surprised there'd be an incomplete element in
Morrowind, given it's scale, since the same thing tends to happen in the
other big CRPGs I've played.

Come to think of it, they might have left it incomplete, since it
clashes a bit with the general tone of Morrowind, in which there's never
a really clearcut good or evil. In all of the walkthroughs that
mentioned slavery, the authors mentioned they made a point of freeing
every slave. Most people feel it's a clear moral issue (myself included).

The faction Does exist in the base game. Once you free a lot of slaves
you will start getting the code word which can then be used when talking
to other people, one of them being the leader of the faction. I don't
remember if anyone gives you the leader's name or location.

Oh, ok, didn't know this. But they aren't joinable with quests are they?
Either way, the Twin Lamps mod is quite good and well thought out.

I think there were a couple of quests given by the leader. Been too
long since I tried them.

You *can* contact the Twin lamps and you will get quests.
Here is a hint, (rot-13):

Even without TL the game keeps track of how many slaves you have freed.
You need to free 15 slaves
before the topic appears. And even without the twin
lamp mod, there are many instances where the
npc's mentions the slavery topic, the abolition subject
and the imperials versus the dunmers opinions about
the subject. So the groundwork for the mod have already been implemented
into the game. Only the
quest part is missing
