Beyond the Firmament is a quest mod that mixes adventure with cosmic horror. It adds a large amount of content to Edwinna's Mages Guild questline in Ald-ruhn. After completing her task in Bethamez and reaching the rank of Wizard, return to her to begin building a crew for the newly constructed starship, the Galerion.
Considerations
This mod is quite challenging, and isn't recommended for any character below level 15.
Starting from version 1. 2, you will need to merge your levelled lists.
Starting from version 1. 3, players have access to two different ending scenarios. Choosing a certain path provides the player with scripted abilities (which one should be obvious). You'll find a spoiler-heavy rundown of those abilities on the forum tab.
I don't recommend updating to a new version on an ongoing save. If you encounter a problematic bug on an earlier version, let us know and we'll try to help you resolve it.
Using the "scripted music uninterruptible" option from Morrowind Code Patch will give you a more immersive music experience.
Known Issues
A strange collision issue has been reported in the final battle specifically on OpenMW version 0. 48. Using 0. 49 should resolve the problem.

Beyond the Firmament is a quest mod for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion that blends interstellar adventure with cosmic horror.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Active development – last updated March 2025, so it's fresh.
- Niche but dedicated following (141 endorsements) – the community digs it.
- Unique blend of sci-fi and Elder Scrolls lore – not your typical dungeon crawl.
⚠️ Cons
- Endorsement count is modest – might be a smaller-scale experience.
- No mention of compatibility with other mods or DLC – potential conflicts.
For Oblivion players who crave something different – a quest that mixes cosmic horror with classic Elder Scrolls exploration. If you're tired of standard dungeon-delving and want a story that leans into the weird and unknown, this is your jam. Skip if you prefer traditional fantasy quests without sci-fi elements.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a quest mod, make sure to check your load order – place it after other major quest mods to avoid conflicts.
- If you're using a mod manager like OBMM or Wrye Bash, install it through that to keep things tidy.
- Back up your save before starting the questline – cosmic horror can be unpredictable.
