📋 About This Mod
A small and productive replacer of Tel Aruhn, inspired by thoughts of the ancient Merethic era.A series of Telvanni overhauls from Mika
Tel Aruhn has always been one of my favorite Telvanian cities. It is known for certain that the tower of Tel Aruhn is one of the oldest building in Tamriel, created by the Aldmeri in the middle of the Merethic Era. So I wanted to
somehow diversify its appearance even if not as grandly as it deserves.
Here the air is saturated with magic in which the aromas of fresh herbs, flowers and mushrooms soar. And the pale green lamps create a truly fabulous atmosphere. And even Archmagister Gothren was pleased with these modest changes in the city.
More detailed:
- marshmerrows and seashells on the coast;
- a place for recreation and fishing on the shore;
- green beautiful lanterns (I recommend a lovely replayer from Melchior Dahrk);
- flora, grass, giant mushrooms and moss all over the tower area;
- few containers;
- decorated pleasure boats;
- Archmagister Gothren's private pier and boat;
- fixed the super-broken default architecture of the tavern root system. Now the root models don't stick out of the building. In this regard the position of the sign is slightly moved;
- some minor architectural changes in general;
- flower pots, baskets, urns, rugs and a place to rest on the upper platform;
- and much more.
What the plugin doesn't have:
- new NPCs;
- new buildings;
- new quests;
- new items.
This is an absolutely lore and small plugin that does not affect the game balance in any way, but only decorates this territory. No effect on the FPS was observed.
If you need any patches, write about it in the comments. With links to the desired plugins.
Requirements: Morrowind.
Please, if you find any problems or bugs in the plugin let me know in the comments or PM.
Credits: To Azura and to Archmagister Gothren for allowing his city to be transformed.
Have a nice game!
