For the faction in The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, see the game's Blades page.

While Vvardenfell appears to have attracted the Emperor's particular attention, his spies in Morrowind are not limited only to that island. Various agents can also be scattered across mainland Morrowind. While some (Aquilinius) are open about their affiliation, most are tight-lipped as to their mission and purpose.

Joining the Blades

There is no way to join the Blades on the mainland, and it is expected that players will do so during their pursuit of Morrowind's main quest. The only benefit of being a member of the Blades on the mainland is the access that membership provides to additional trainers.

Blades Ranks

Unlike with other factions you will not be able to rise through the ranks and lead the Blades. After the Main Quest (and since Caius Cosades is leaving at some point) you will be stuck at rank 5 as an Operative. Of course, as Caius points out, you, as an Operative, are the highest ranking Blade in Vvardenfell. All promotions are given through the quests, and don't actually check skill and attribute requirements.
