📋 About This Mod
First off, special thanks to BadLuckBurt and Hazelnut, without whose help I would never have gotten the hang of it, I am sure.
What it does
This is an addition to the WorldData set. For all the vastness of Daggerfall, the game still somehow manages to lack canon locations that appeared both before and after in High Rock and Hammerfell.
Well, I thought, I'mma change that, now that I know how to. This thus marks my first ever Nexus mod release, so bear with me.
All positions are roughly approximated to match their positions in other titles, were applicable. The Daggerfall map translates to the accepted maps of Tamriel only with difficulty.
What's in it
At present, these are the locations added:
-
[]Camlorn (city-state in Ykalon)
[

How to install
Unzip the contents of the zip file to your game's "StreamingAssets" folder, or use the Vortex Mod Manager.
How to uninstall
Delete the files from the "StreamingAssets\WorldData" folder, or uninstall from Mod Manager if installed with that. That's it. Try not to reside in one of the addeda dungeons in your latest save file when you do this - I cannot guarantee what happens if you do.
Note: Some screenshots may show an early version of some locations.
New Canon Locations adds established locations from TES Arena that are missing from vanilla Daggerfall, with more planned as the author finds time. A niche lore-friendly expansion for Daggerfall players seeking canonical world-building.
