📋 About This Mod
How far would you go to fight the evils of Slavery? For the twin lamps, the answer may vary depending on who you ask...
This mod adds a new dungeon to the island that Vassamsi Grotto is located on, which connects to both it and the Ancestral tomb nearby. As such, this mod also improves both the two dungeons in question.
The landscape of the island has also been upgraded and detailed so that it's no longer just an empty rock with next to nothing on it. A Telvanni style entrance to the mine has been added, as well as a ruined exterior structure commonly found outside Kogoruhn.
:: REQUIREMENTS ::
- OAAB Data
- Tamriel Data
:: FEATURES ::
• A new Telvanni style mine on the island north of Tel Arhun.
• Improvements to the interior of Vassamsi Grotto and Baram Ancestral tomb
• An overhaul of the landscape of the island that the mine is located on.
• Unique loot from both OAAB Data and Tamriel Data
:: COMPATABILITY ::
-If you have my other mod "Marbled Zafibrel Bay" installed. Then you do not need to download this mod as it is included. I am leaving this mod up in case others want just the island, whether for preference or incase MZB conflicts with another mod, but you still want the island.
