Mages Guild Stronghold - Nchagalelft

Building Up the Nchagalelft ComplexThe Mages Guild’s version of Building Up Uvirith’s Grave (hopefully)

Introduction

I like cool towers and playing mages. The Telvanni have a plethora of great mods and a monopoly on cool towers--there's really no question on who has the best content at the moment. I decided to try to even the playing field a little bit by giving the Mages Guild a stronghold, loosely inspired by Building Up Uvirith's Grave and Uvirith's Legacy. And since the Telvanni have a monopoly on cool towers, I decided to make the Mages Guild stronghold a Dwemer Ruin instead.

The Nchagalelft Complex is a Dwemer ruin a bit north of Kutashpi and east of Rotheran. It has two parts -- the Tower and the Underground. The Tower is a basic player home -- it has a small kitchen, a large vault, 2 bedrooms, a storage attic, and most importantly, teleporters to all the vanilla Mages Guild halls.

The Underground is where the customization is. Here’s a quick customization run-down:

Enchanting Store Focus: Scrolls || Constant Effect || Cast on Use

Alchemy Gardens (pick 2): Ascadia || Ash || Grey Meadows || Swamp || Tundra

Library: Arcane || Daedric || Forbidden

Dining Area: Fine Dining || Cozy Tea Room

Arcane Study Room: Enchant || Restoration || Necromancy || Conjuration

Guild Ally: Tribunal Temple || Imperial Cult || Thieves Guild || Morag Tong || Order of the Lamp

If I did my math right, that’s hundreds of different combinations!

When you arrive, the Complex is in poor condition. There’s rubble everywhere inside, blocking everything. Luckily, you have a steward who will make arrangements to clear out the tower and the underground – but he’ll need money to do so, of course. Miners and contractors aren’t cheap.
