Denizens of Cyrodiil - Skingrad - A Crowded Cities Mod

So, one thing I always enjoyed about Oblivion was creating new NPCs. That's how I first started modding. Creating basic NPCs with basic AI packages to fill in voids in the world. Granted, as I got deeper into modding I was able to make more complex NPCs. NPCs who could sleep, gather things, deliver goods, travel via scripts, execute other NPCs, fight large scale battles, etc etc. It might seem simple to the way more seasoned modders in the community, but to me doing this was revolutionary and fun.

One of the first NPC mods I ever did, but never released, was a crowded cities mod in Chorrol - my favorite city. NPCs had neatly done schedules to make them feel alive. Thieves, snitches, jailbirds, guards, and more! I wanted to return to those roots by doing a whole new mod series, but with the modding knowledge I have now.

Hence, Denizens of Cyrodiil.

What this mod does is add 13 new NPCs to Skingrad with unique names and schedules to truly make them feel alive. Some have secrets they hide, others are engaged in unscrupulous activities or alliances, memberships in certain guilds or factions. All of this, in the name of making the world seem more alive and crowded.

Below are the list of NPCs I created with a little bit of what they do and how they idle their time away in game.

Got any ideas for more NPCs for Skingrad? Drop them in the comments, if I like the idea, I'll do it!

THE NPCs:

Ser Faonare Giloriane

A noble Knight and a member of the Knights Mentor. He has come to Skingrad to learn more about his God from His center of worship in the center of the Empire, whilst also keeping a watchful eye on the chapel and it's people. Being ready to defend them at a moment's notice.

Nerastarel

A High Elf noble living in Skingrad. Not much is known about him, as he rarely leaves his home and, when he does, it's always at night and garbed in robes. Rumor has it he is a trainer in arts not endorsed by the Mages' Guild, and offers that training to those who dare visit him during his rare night trips. But surely those are just rumors, right?

Kasexus Bernon

A local hunter living in Skingrad, lodging up at the Two Sisters. On Sundays, he attends church services and on Wednesdays he can be found outside hunting unless it's raining, in which case he'll be in the West Weald Inn waiting it out. He's a rather friendly fellow, not prone to flights of fancy as some others are.

Dovvos Vinto

One of two Dunmer brothers living in Skingrad. He lives the life of a vintner, working Tamika's vineyard day in and da
