Thank you darkelfguy and the team for keeping Morrowind modding alive!!!

The 'X' in the title comes from 'X-treme lantern usage'.

Have you ever cast an Almsivi Intervention spell and been transported to Molag Mar, and wished that you had just died in a dungeon instead of being instantly moved to the city Bethsda seemed to add as an after-thought?

Well fret no more, pals - this mod aims to covers Molag Mar with lanterns to make it a cozy, inviting stop-off for pilgrims. New buildings, detailed the top canton and waistworks, canalworks, and more. This is a cosmetic update for Ald-ruhn - it's filled with clutter and tries to make the city feel more welcoming and safe, and inspired by by the legendary Kilcunda's Balmora.

SIX YEARS AFTER RELEASE I'm reading to take it out of beta BABY!!!

    []Cosmetic changes on the top canton (slave pen, beast pen, shrine, lots of lanterns).[/]

    []New dwellings on the Waistworks and Canalworks levels (10 in total, one empty for you to occupy).[/]

    []Waistworks and Canalworks now have NPCs in them, and features additional vanilla friendly stores (spellmaker, clothier, and apothacary).[/]

    []Lore-friendly, universally hated by the townsfolk, high-roller Hlaalu merchant with plenty of gold to offload all that Daedric gear you pile up.[/]

    []Mini expansion of the Silt Strider port.[/]

    []Mini town extension with Northern and Southern Residences, a Guild Services hall for Mages and Fighters Guild, and a small tavern. [/]
