:: DARKWATER DEN 1. 0 ::
Mod adds an Argonian themed house above Darkwater Crossing (the mining village).
Creator: Elianora
Contributors:
Darkfox127 - secret door mechanism and scripts and magic
Nahkin: General awesomery, scripting and improvements
Lrsamways: Disenchanting font
:: REQUIREMENTS ::
- Skyrim up to date

There is a map marker near both of the entrances.
The main entrance map marker is visible when mod is installed, the secret entrance has to be discovered.
To know how to get the key, you need to find Derkeethus. He has the clue in his inventory. If you are too lazy or uninterested to
go talk to Derkeethus, you can read the "hints.txt" provided with the download.

- Mirror that allows you to change your appearance, similar to the Riften face sculptor
- Secret display hall that is hidden away. (If you cannot figure it out, the hints.txt will help)
