📋 About This Mod

A terrible secret lies beneath the grass in New Sheoth Graveyard: a true Necropolis, where Sheogorath sadistically collected and stored the remains from the millions massacred in several greymarches through the ages. Haunted by some unique kinds of undead from the Araenyan age, these dark corridors are the hideout of the Death Evokers, dissident dark seducers who became the first guild to practice necromansy in the Isles. Digging deeper into the necropolis, these villains have reached the ancient ruins of Xumbura, where---rumors say---they have hidden big amounts of gold. THIS MOD REQUIRES SHIVERING ISLES EXPANSION!!!!!! This 2. 0 update requires version 1. 0 installed BEFORE this (NOT after, or else it will not work). ************************************************ WHAT´S NEW VERSION 3. 0: This version adds the Flesh and Bone sector (5 levels, haunted by liches, zombies and skeletons) and the Lost Soul Alley (5 levels, haunted by ghosts) to the Lair of the Unholy Dead. In both sectors you will find, randomly, some creatures from versions 1. 0 and 2. 0 of this mod. Flesh and bone Alley will lead you to an imperial fort: Many years ago, the empire tried to invade the Shivering Isles. The troops were defeated by the gatekeeper, and Sheogorath beheaded all the legion´s soldiers, cursing them to fight their own heads. You will see the zombies fighting desperately their own heads (and some times, fighting each other!!). Lost souls alley will take you to an unreal landscape: the abyss, where you will find a cyrodill-style crypt. This will be the last release of my mod, unless I receive several requests to expand it. ********************************************* INsTALLATION ************************************************ Just extract SInecropolis.esp to your Bethesda softworks/Oblivion/data folder AFTER you installed version 1. 0 and 2. 0. Say \"yes\" when it asks to overwrite. In the version 1. 0 levels: - Increased fog in 2nd necropolis level - Fixed missing light in a chandelabre - All creatures will respawn now, except for the necromancer bosses and the necromancers from the 3rd level (\"Lair of the Unholy Dead\") . Now the NEW LEVELS: - Adds vampire sector (6 new levels) and Mummy sector (6 new levels). These levels are reached by the ladders in the \"Lair of the Unholy Dead\" (The vertical Necropolis level). There is no key to be found in these levels, all doors are unlocked--- but you will have to follow some candles to find them (you know what I am talking about when you get there). There are lots and lots of gold to be collected, more treasure than the version 1. 0 levels--- but you´ll have to look for it: are you a good dungeon explorer? The vampire sector will end in a big limestone cave, and Mummy sector will end in a challenging pyramid (with interior and exterior) which is one way: once you get in, you´ll only get out when you finish the dungeon, so go prepared!!! - New creatu
