📋 About This Mod
This is a new try to make a realistic aurora. My third already. The aurora is visible at night in and around Bruma and also some other places like: Cloudruler Temple etc. It can take a few seconds until it appears.
I'm using particle FX to make this move.
(It might be sharper for you. I have distant blur active)
