📋 About This Mod
This mod adds the drider Daedra lair and the temple of Loxoscelia to the Shivering Isles.
=================================================== The Temple of Loxoscelia =================================================== History tells us of the sorceress Loxoscelia as one of the most beautiful women of the Araenyan age, at the Shivering Isles. She was the high priestess of the temple which was known as \"The Heart of Madness\", in a grotto located at the heart of the Shivering Isles. This sacred place was said to be \"where the Ecstasy meets the Agony\", the very meeting point between Mania and Dementia. One of the legends tells us that Loxoscelia tried to seduce Sheogorath, promising to please him if he turned her into a siren. The madgod got disappointed with the performance of such a pretty and proud woman, and turned her into a drider instead. The other says that Loxoscelia was actually a worshiper of Namira, to whom she devoted an altar at her temple. Sheogorath would not allow another Daedra lord to be worshipped at his realm, and when he discovered the treason, he cursed the Priestess by uttering the famous words: \"So, do you like web weavers? Then, I´ll turn you into one of them... Or maybe half one of them... Or maybe, none or them... Nevermind!!\" So, she was transformed into the first Drider Daedra queen. =================================================== The Drider Daedra =================================================== The Drider Daedra are colonial arachnoid beings. There are only females, which are divided in three chastes: -Drider worker: The bald ones. They spread and nurse the queen´s eggs through the colony. Strong, but not aggressive. They will not attack you if you approach them with your weapon sheathed (a WISE choice when you are outnumbered). -Drider soldiers: The hairy ones. They hunt to feed the queen. Strong and aggressive, they will attack you on sight. -Drider queen: The reproducer, pure badass. =================================================== Getting there/what are you getting there =================================================== The root tunnels that will lead to the Temple of Seasons is linked to two new ruins: Xurannia in Dementia, and Xibbil in Mania. Defeat the Drider Queen at the Altar of Highness and you will loot her amulet: it is worth 10,000 gold!!! But to reach her, you must find the key to the altar somewhere at the temple... there will also be a treasure, if you know where to look for it. You will also be able to sleep at a good bed with a marvelous look at the temple, since you will get a key for a teleport pad that wil take you back to the wilderness of the Shivering isles (a shortcut if you wish to go back). Both ruins are at the central area of the Shivering Isles. Xibbil is located to the west of Split. Xurania is located close to Puddlejump Camp, near the waterfall. You should bring a torch, some of those \"restore-this restore-that\" potions (be ready to be heavily poisoned) and repair hammers as weapon/
