📋 About This Mod
This mod offers an alternative take on the starting town of Seyda Neen by replacing the Imperial and Nord building such as the Census and Excise, Lighthouse, Trade house and Civilian housing with Hlaalu styled architecture. In addition to that, no base game quests have been changed and an extra low level beginner quest has been added to the Census warehouse.
Quote from Michael Kirkbride that initially inspired this Mod.
>What's up with Seyda Neen's lighthouse? (2015-03-18)Early concept art shows House Hlaalu with gems in their foreheads. These gems were purportedly part of the glass in the construction of the Seyda Neen.
"The Seyda Neen was the flagship of a fleet that Hlaalu sent to sea at the behest of a Saint, "to see the face of Veloth". The mariners on this voyage would send back for the rest of their House when they had found whatever this "face" was.
But an unnatural storm destroyed the fleet, the jetsam and flotsam coming back to the shore. The Hlaalu used this to construct the Lighthouse, so that any of their countrymer that may have survived the storm could find their way back. House nobles embedded their flagship's glass in their foreheads, because Morrowind."
