The Song of the Grazelands

"Upon the land where shadows dance, Mora Guradan, in mystic trance,

Rises proud, in Grazelands’ embrace, guardian of time, in sacred space.

For Ald Sunna Vosya, in its grace, a symbol of life, in this sacred place,

Tied to the land, the Grazelands fair, its essence woven in every prayer.

Through trials endured, and battles past, this ancient hill, shall ever last,

A sanctuary for the faithful few, Mora Guradan, in twilight's hue."

-Excerpt from the Ballad of the Mora Guradan

This mod is a major landscape overhaul for the southwestern Grazelands, covering approximately 25% of the whole region. It is now a land of rising flat plateaus, rocky vales, and hackle-lo groves. Rising above it all is the forested hill of the Mora Guradan and its Ald Sunna Vosya: the Sacred Tree of Life. The inspiration for this tree and the starting point of this mod actually came from Vurts Grazeland Trees which placed a large unique tree in the same location. I sought to breathe new life into this concept with this modern re-imagining.

Four new quests:

- Help an Ashlander to care for her companion, and prepare a potent Daedric salve for a healing ritual

- Track down a group of Imperial Legion deserters

- Aid a paleontologist by helping to supply his campsite

- Help a wandering Dunmer artist showcase the verticality of the Grazelands

A minor lore expansion for the Zainab tribe, through dialogue entries and the eponymous book "The Song of the Grazelands"

A Landscape overhaul for a portion of the Grazelands, done in my typical style through the exclusive use of static meshes, and zero, actual landscape edits

Improvements to the southwestern Grazelands border, with towering cliffs at the region's edges

A handful of new landmarks throughout the overhauled region, including:

- The Mora Guradan, a forested hill, and sacred site of the Zainab

- A ruined shrine of Azura

- A paleontologist's dig site and camp

- A small, abandoned Dwemer research station

- A now secluded Zainab Camp, with atmospheric additions

A new, cozy bakery and teahouse in Vos, with an unusual specialty (quest-related)

Dozens of other hidden secrets and treasures to find throughout the region, both on top of the plateaus and below

How to Start:

The latest rumors in Vos, the Zainab Camp, and a public notice in the Varo Tradehouse will lead you to three of the new quests in this mod. The fourth can only be discovered by carefully exploring the new region.
