Improved Valenwood adds the province Valenwood to the game. This includes eight cities and some smaller towns, many new Ayleid ruin, caves and fortress ruins.
The mod is a landscape modification, by which I mean to say that not all interiors are finished. As far as my time frame allowing it they will be added later on in updates.
