📋 About This Mod
- IMPORTANT INFO -
This mod is most likely, only compatible with OpenMW. There have been a few reports of missing textures for MGXE users. I apologise! I will try to fix (but I am stupid).
Tower of Starlight users should uninstall and use this mod instead. Tower of Starlight is included!
MOD CONCEPT:
Off the north-western shore of Vvardenfell's West Gash, a mysterious tomb awaits, buried beneath the sea. Inside, you'll find many unique, ancient treasures, worthy of only the most daring of adventurers. These powerful tools were handcrafted by the absolutely massive, and unrelenting Abibo Teslik.
Delve deep enough, and you'll encounter a truly legendary helmet, remastered by Teslik. His design is a reiteration of Oblivion's classic glass armour helmet, but now with added cool.
But it won't be easy. You'll have to brave the dark waters of this ancient and long-forgotten grotto, fighting your way through the terrible denizens that now reside within.
I recommend attempting this dungeon with a capable adventurer who knows how to hold their breath. Good luck!
If you like this mod, make sure to thank Teslik in the comments! This wouldn't have been possible without his determination and commitment. Good friends energise you!
FEATURES:
Blightsteel: (as featured in Teslik's Weapon Pack)
This forgotten blade isn't all it appears to be.
Bthunaztar:
This gigantic hammer packs a meaty punch, but is extremely slow to swing.
And if you aren't the bludgeon-wielding barbarian-type, it still makes for a great trophy. Those opulent gemstones are surely worth a pretty penny...
Domina:
The cursed shortsword of Molag Bal was thought lost to time, but it is simply waiting for a it's new master to retrieve it, and defeat it's immortal captors.
Lorkhaj's Claw: (as featured in Teslik's Weapon Pack)
A nifty little blade. It was clearly ornamental, once upon-a-time. Now it's lodged in a skull.
Fin Gleam: (Expect a set in the future. Teslik has big plans!)
This ancient helmet has passed between generations of Mer. It's enchantment allows all who would wear it, to delve deep beneath the sea and embrace the whispers of the abyss.
LOCATION:
South(ish) and West from Gnisis. Map included in the images tab.
REQUIREMENTS:
Bloodmoon.esm
Tamriel_Data.esm
