The general idea was to create a shelter for my characters, and since no one was going to do it for me this was only a reasonable move. Originally I made the Shadow Grove for my personal use, but it wasn\'t long until it hit me: Heck, why not publish the thing? So when I decided to take a dip in the modding industry I saw a perfect opportunity to create a new starting point and/or a shelter to call home. The Shadow Grove offers the most important things for your stealthr oriented characters. This is the final version of the mod. I never intended to release additional versions, but a few things surfaced that needed to be fixed, so here it is. - I have implemented a more advanced AI pathing grid, both for exterior and interior cells that this mod includes. Any NPCs you bring with you should follow you without problems. - A quest icon has been added. There was no icon before, mostly because I hadn\'t figured out the mistery behind .dds files back then. Now you can see a good-looking quest icon, and although I tried it does not match Oblivion style icons. But what the heck. I did my best and I dare say it blends in pretty cool with interface colors. - The quest journal has been rewritten. It mostly says the same, but since I was editing the mod anyway I thought why not improve it to sound better. - The \"Mysterious Note\" that starts the quest has been rewritten too. Again, says practically the same thing, only in better ways. - The rocks to the right of the entrance have seen some minor finishing touches. These are the ones used to climb on top of the rock overlooking the grove to reach the hidden door key. I did some testing and I\'m proud to say that even a warrior character wearing heavy armor with low acrobatics skill can still quite successfully jump his way to the top. - I have added a second bed on the opposite wall from the old bed. One of the two storage chests has been moved to rest beside the new bed. Now your companion can enjoy a well deserved nap too. - The bookshelf has been seriously rearranged, or more precisely the books on it. Before when you bumped into them or tried touching them they would kinda go berserk and pour out onto the floor (or wreak some other sort of havoc). That is no longer the case. It is now all but in alphabetic order (that would be too much). It looks so good, this mod is worth playing just for looking at them orderly books. - The furnace part has seen a bit
