Vedam Dren is the current Duke of the Imperial District of Vvardenfell, province of Morrowind. Of noble descent, Dren was Hlaalu Grandmaster of the Vvardenfell district before he inherited his title. He can be found on the third floor of the Grand Council Chambers in Ebonheart, surrounded by Dunmer and Imperial Counsel.

Vedam Dren is a Dunmer Knight but also thinks of himself as a noble, a leader and a diplomat. Vedam is the older brother of Camonna Tong head Orvas Dren, who runs the Dren Plantation, and the father of Ilmeni Dren, the leader of the abolitionist group Twin Lamps.

Vedam Dren wears a full set of Ebony armor, except for the helm. The Duke is essential for completing many high-ranking House Hlaalu, Redoran, and Telvanni quests, since he is the only one who has the authority to grant you a construction contract for your stronghold. If you belong to House Hlaalu, Dren is also the only person in the game who can promote you to Grandmaster.

[edit] Notes

• After he grants you a stronghold Construction Contract, you can steal a second one from him. It won't enable you to have a second one built if you used the "backdoor method" to join two Houses - but you can turn it in for some extra journal updates, or keep it for a trophy item.
