Solitude - Capital Edition

Solitude - Capital Edition Transforms Solitude into a worthy capital city of Skyrim!

Description

Solitude is the capital city of Skyrim, seat of the former High King and headquarters of the Empire. Below its cliffs lies a large harbor and the countryside is dotted by farms. But let's face it... Solitude sucked. It was empty and dull. It's supposed to be a political and economical center! And a huge city such as that should also house a significant criminal underworld. This mod fixes all that! And much, much more!

This mod will not only be sweet eye-candy. It will also overhaul the entire feel of the city. The overall atmosphere is grittier and the city is more crowded. There will now be factions, buildings and people appropriate for a capital.

This mod follows a similar concept and design flow as my previous mod, "Riften - Thief Edition". You can expect the same level of detail, the same level of enhanced city gameplay and even more added notes, NPCs and factions. But this one will be better and cooler. I'm already happier with the foundation that I have laid than I was with "Riften"!

New Factions and Politics: []I wanted to address the issue that Solitude doesn't seem like a political center. So I have added a Grand Council, with chambers in the Blue Palace, that serves as the government. Its members include several new ones as well as faces we already know. Overall you will find more government institutions and officials in the city, as is appropriate for the capital and Imperial headquarters in Skyrim.[/] []Two new significant Imperial families have moved into city as well. They're both sitting on the Council and are bitter rivals, each wanting control of the city and the trade for themselves. And then there's Vittoria Vici who controls the East Empire Company. All three very powerful political factions. The fourth political faction would be Tullius and the Jarl, but they're mainly occupied with the Civil War.[/] []You may also find undercover Penitus Oculatus agents residing within the city. Of course it'll take some time and investigation to find out who they are.[/] []The Imperial Commission has an office in Castle Dour. It is headed by a Magistrate and is tasked with monitoring the enforcement of Imperial Law, and assist trials and determine sentences.[/] []The Thalmor will now actually inhabit their headquarters in Castle Dour. They will have agents in the city and a representative on the Grand Council.[/] [
