Morrowind:Birthsigns

This article provides details on all of the birthsigns in Morrowind, including the birthsign descriptions from the book The Firmament.

Birthsigns grant various bonuses: abilities (permanent effects that cannot be removed), powers (spell-like abilities that can be used once per day and do not cost magicka), and/or spells.
