📋 About This Mod
Hooray! My first mod! Welcome to the first part of my Oblivion Immersion Series. One of the major criticisms of Oblivion was the lack of differentiation between the Colovian and Nibenese subcultures in Cyrodiil. This mod tries to remedy that just a bit by adding lore-appropriate shrines to houses, businesses, and a few other places throughout Cyrodiil. Some will be very easy to spot; some will require a bit of house-breaking to see.
The Oblivion Immersion Series is a planned series of separate but loosely related mods meant to bring Cyrodiil to life in a lore-conscious way. Some additions are meant to fill in elements that were lacking in the original game. Others will just be my spin on things that other modders have already done and probably done better. All mods in this series will be intended to be used together, but each can be used individually.
For example:
The Colovians, a militaristic and rustic people, comprise of the bulk of the Legion. The martial Colovians may have shrines to the Nine Divines, but these are scarcer than in the Heartlands. Cities dominated by Colovian subculture include Chorrol, Anvil, and Skingrad (Kvatch has been left untouched).
The cosmopolitan Nibenese, by contrast, are esoteric, philosophizing, and religious. The Nibenese will have often a multitude of shrines in their homes and businesses. Many Nibenese will have shrines related to more obscure cults, such as shrines to Cuhlecain (the Cult of Emperor Zero), Reman Cyrodiil (founder of the 2nd Empire), Alessia and Morihaus (leaders of the rebellion against the Ayleids), and shrines to various hero and animal cults. Cities dominated by Nibenese subculture include Leyawiin, Bravil, Cheydinhal, Bruma, and the Imperial City.
Other lore-appropriate elements have been added:
- Nords will often have a shrine to Tiber Septim or Kynareth.
- Mages Guild halls and the Arcane University will have shrines to Julianos.
- Orcs may have a shrine to Malacath.
- Many merchants and businesspeople throughout Cyrodiil will have a shrine to Zenithar.
- Weynon Priory and Cloud Ruler Temple will have a shrine to Tiber Septim.
- The Temple of the Ancestor Moths will have a shrine to Julianos.
- A few Dunmer will have shrines to the Reclamation Daedra: Azura, Mephala, and Boethiah.
- Members of the Thieves Guild may have a shrine to Nocturnal, hinting at their true allegiance.
- Sleeper agents of the Mythic Dawn may have a shrine to Merhunes Dagon in their dwellings, hinting at their true allegiance.
- Members of the Dark Brotherhood may have a shrine to the Night Mother in the guise of the Lucky Old Lady, hinting at their true allegiance.
As of v1. 1, new things have been added, including:
- Shrines to Molag Bal and Clavic
