📋 About This Mod

One of the towns of TES lore. V5 added player home V4 includes castle (interiors still incomplete except for the throne room) and exterior upgrades V3 addition of the Renrijra Krin bar, and more unique items from the various vendors. V2 addition of Mages Guild and upgraded the Trader\'s shop floor. NOTE : I haven\'t created silent MP3s for the dialogue, so the text will run past very quickly. In the meantime you can always reclick the dialogue to replay. There are no quests anyway so the new dialogue is not essential! =================================================== 1. Description 2. Requirements 3. Installing 4. Uninstalling 5. Compatibility 6. Riverhold as Free Modders Resource 7. Elsweyr Confederacy Project 8. Contact and Information =============== 1. DESCRIPTION =============== This plugin adds the Khajiit town of Riverhold to the game world, located half way between Bravil and Skingrad. The town is built on the steep cliffs of a river gorge and its two halves are spanned by wooden bridges. Because it is located across the border in Elsweyr, a border removal adjustment or mod is required to reach it. To view the exact location see the screenshot. The town exterior is complete, but some of the interiors still require work. NPCs, the Town Guard, Shop, Inn and Mages Guild are already fully functional. Riverhold is a Khajiit border town which appears on the official TES maps of the region and is mentioned in the in-game book 2920. I have placed it in the landscape exactly where the map indicates it should lie. RIVERHOLD FEATURES TOWN 1. Multi-level cliff town 2. Waterfall and lake BUILDINGS 3. Player Home 4. 2x Shops 5. Inn 6.
