Hoarfrost Castle

Edit 03-12-24: Against all odds it's now the 2020s and I'm still here, and so is this mod, but now generative AI exists too - and so does this add-on for Hoarfrost Castle that gives the originally silent characters voices that sound like the original Oblivion voice actors:

- Hoarfrost Castle Voices (ElevenLabs)

Time marches on.

--Introduction--

Sitting high on a bluff above the steepest part of the Orange Road is Hoarfrost Castle. The keep and castle yard rest at the foot of the Jerall Mountains proper - at the edge of the snowfall. The yard is almost always half-covered with snow, ice and frost. The windswept keep tower provides an unsurpassed view over the Great Forest, the Heartlands, and the Nibenay basin: from Bruma, to Chorrol - to the Imperial City itself.

Hoarfrost Castle is a cold place, but the roaring pit fire in the great hall always served to bar the chill from the keep itself. The keep and castle grounds played host to a chapel, graveyard, stables, master bedroom, dining chamber, kitchen, basement, smithy, servant's and guard's quarters, mage's study and workshop, display hall, and of course the warmest part of the keep: the great hall. A hive of activity and an outpost unto itself.

At least, this was the case until the castle's previous occupants were lost to some malevolent force that rose up within the keep. Rumour has it that only the Castle Steward survived to tell the horrific tale; and is now willing to give ownership of the castle up to whoever proves powerful enough to wrest control of the keep from whatever monstrosities now dwell inside. He keeps a solitary watch over Hoarfrost Castle's gate; waiting for some brave soul to come, and offer their help.

--Features--

Completing a series of quests unlocks the various features of Hoarfrost Castle. These are the quests, and what completing each one grants you:

Quest 1: 'Hoarfrost Castle' - In which the Steward pleas for help, secrets are found, battle is done, and a castle is granted.

Grants Hoarfrost Castle itself:

- A walled fortress with several guard towers.
