📋 About This Mod
Compatibility | My Mods | Development List
ORIGINAL MOD
by ScarlaAurora is a cozy little fishing village on the southern shore of Lake Ilinalta. It is designed to blend into the world of Skyrim while also adding its own unique charm.
My goal with this mod was to make a new town that felt like it was there all along. There are no new clutter items or out-of-place NPCs. All trainers in the town are journeyman level, making this village a good alternative for low-level players who are tired of Riverwood and Whiterun. Thanks to radiant quests, the town will remain relevant through the higher levels as well.
All Aurora trainers are Journeyman level (training up to skill level 50).
All shops have investment opportunities.
Food & Drink (Inn)
General Goods
Hunting Supplies
Lorm, a mercenary who specializes in heavy armor and 2-handed weapons
Brandolf, a veteran-turned-drunk whose loyalty can be bought with a mug of ale
OTHER FEATURES:
A modest player home
8 potential marriage partners
Town guards change according to who owns Falkreath Hold
A Hall of the Dead complete with coffin references for all village NPCs
Radiant quest integration, including Thieves Guild quests
Mod cleaned in xEdit, NavMeshed
You can learn more about the NPCs and their lives by exploring their homes and reading any letters or journals you find. Like any village, Aurora has seen its share of jealousy, grief, and hardship.
