📋 About This Mod
This mod serves as a companion mod to The Great Seawall of Vivec. The Gates of Ascadia fortifies the land routes to Vivec, with several Velothi gates and walls controlling access to the city. It also replaces several wooden bridges in the Ascadian Isles with more imposing Velothi style bridges.
As of Version 2. 0 it incorporates several elements from Ascadia - Land of Pilgrimage as well as few other new elements. You can check the changelog for a full list of all of the new additions.
Compatibility
It will be incompatible with the above ALOP mod, but this mod is now designed to be a lightweight alternative to this mod, and can be paired much more easily with various Ascadian Isles mods.
In the latest version I've removed the portcullis to the cantons of Vivec, so it should now be compatible out of the box, with most Vivec City overhauls, including BCOM.
DreadnaughtVCN for their work on ALOP
Lucevar for her work on the bridge near the Vivec Strider Port.
The OAAB_Data and Tamriel_Data teams for their resources used heavily in this mod.
