📋 About This Mod
Part of the May Modathon Month
Are you one of the few people who actually likes Orcs? Their brutal, yet honorable ways? Then 'The Fires of Orc' mod is for you. Your adventure begins when you talk with Nash gro-Khazor, the lieutenant of General Darius in Gnisis. He will send you to deal with the Orcish clan that conquered the Dunmer fortress of Valenvaryon. You can kill them, or decide to aid them and gain valuable allies for the Empire.
The features of this mod include:
- The pacification of the inhabitants of Valenvaryon
- Unique dialogue and personality for most of the Orcs in Valenvaryon
- New items, including a book on Sloadic grammar!
- An insight into the Orcish culture
- Easter eggs/references
- Compatibility with the LGNPC Secret Masters plugin - Abelle Chriditte is left untouched.
Version 1. 1:
Version 1. 5:
- A major update
- A lot of bugfixes, polished dialogue, correction of grammatical mistakes
- Added clutter around the fort to make the place feel more alive (tools for making the Malacath statue)
- The leader of the Orcish clan is now a Level 30 Barbarian in Orcish Armor (should be a real challenge if you choose to turn against the Orcs)
- Thanks to Petethegoat for giving me suggestions to improve this mod
