📋 About This Mod
NEWS: Version 0. 2. 0. Improved stability and fixed missing files,also new dungeons finished
Description:
This is a mod that aims to remake the ruins of the great ayleid civilisation that inhabited Cyrodiil millennia ago. Basing my remakes on LORE, and Eso or other renditions to preserve ayleid culture and enhance gameplay by mixing in new ideas.
The ruins will be large, full of life and harder and more beautiful than previous renditions.
By downloading this mod you will enjoy the remade ruins of:
Lipsand Tarn,
Miscarcand,
Garlas Agea
Kemen
Fanacasecul
The mod will be more resource intensive than vanilla, so minor fps drops are expected (ongoing optimisation can fix some harder areas).
