📋 About This Mod
Description
This is a simple tweak, which adds descriptions to Alduin's Wall, to inform you which event is being depicted at what part of the wall.
The descriptions will appear after Delphine and Esbern have settled in Skyhaven Temple. (When the other additional clutter within Skyhaven Temple appears, like the food on the table, the descriptions should also be available.)
The following description are available:
-
[] This part of Alduin's Wall depicts the Dragon War in the Merethic Era.
[
] This part of Alduin's Wall depicts the Banishment of Alduin in the late Merethic Era.[] This part of Alduin's Wall depicts the Tongues of Old: Felldir the Old, Hakon One-Eye and Gormlaith Golden-Hilt.

Compatibility
This mod shouldn't be incompatible with any other mods. I'd even recommend using higher resolution retectures of the wall.
Keep in mind that certain retextures may remove or move parts of the wall, which my mod won't take into account.
