Description

============

Ever felt that the Vivec Mages' Guild is rather lackluster for the regional headquarters of such a distinguished Imperial guild?  Ever wonder just where all those guild members in Ald'ruhn were supposed to meet to hear Trebonius' speech while you robbed them blind?  Well I have and, as part of a series of mods I'm starting to work on, I decided to spruce up the Vivec Guild of Mages hall while keeping the feel and look of the original.

-Added Archmage's Quarters to a new cell.  NOTE: this room is full of loot that might be a bit much for one space but it is designed for "realism" and you're supposed to only enter it once you become arch-mage or if you're a higher-level thief (although 100-level unlock scrolls become a dime a dozen at about level 10 or so), when you'll be swimming in loot already.  The key is on Trebonius and can be pick-pocketed or picked up after you duel him, although the latter hasn't been tested.

-Added a small lecture hall for classes and guild meetings.

-Added a library with most if not all of the common, non-skill magic, history, and religious books.  Has a few of the more expensive magic-oriented books.

-Added a kitchen/alchemical practice area with apparatuses and ingredients set out that are set to certain levels in the MG faction.

-Added another sleeping area with 3 bunk-beds, 2 chests, and 1 armoire since, as the local hub of the guild, it needed more sleeping areas.  I've kept it styled in the cheap style because of the bunk-beds and also because I figured it's more for lower-ranked members passing through.  The bunk-beds, chests, and side tables are set to MG faction-owned and useable by Associate rank and up.

-Added a small storage closet in the entry room on the top floor.

-Added 5 new NPCs to fill out the areas a bit.  They are VERY bare-bones so I recommend MCA or another mod that adds NPCs to cells to fill out the original space more.

-Updated/edited pathgrids to account for the additions/changes.

-Lore-friendly.

-Should work with OpenMW.

-Version for use with True Lights and Darkness (specifically the "No Daylight" version) mod that comes with MGSO and which I use.  This version is my preferred version and will likely have the most support.  The lighting fixtures were designed around the low lighting from the mod so the regular version might look a little too bright without TLaD.  This version can be used without TLaD but th
