📋 About This Mod
This combines the Ruined Temple of Phynaster - Encore and Iceclaw Chapel - New Falmer Ruin into one interconnected unique and challenging dungeon. Player home is still part of Iceclaw Chapel.
The entrance to the 'Cathedral of Vilassian' is in the Forgotten Vale.
Removed all exterior worldspace edits The Ruined Temple of Phynaster had made to Skyrim, as the exterior ruin is now only in the Forgotten Temple. This was done for increased compatibility with mods like 'Interesting NPCs' and 'There is no Umbra' and as a smaller footprint in the worldspace.
The dungeon has had hostile encounters revised with more placed enemies and completely redone boss fights. This is intended for level 30+ characters in line with Skyrim Revamped Rebalanced and Releveled.
Includes 4 unique weapons using the models and textures of Billyro. Vanquish all four bosses to obtain these weapons.
Adjusted dungeon imagespace, music and lighting template.
Cleaned wild edits.
The dungeon is "Clearable"
Thank you and shout out to TwinCrows and the author of Ice Claw Chapel for permissions and for designing these amazing ruins.
Thank you and shout out to Billyro for Lazy Weapon Pack (Flammard), Yol Hahkun, Alik'r Dragontail and Mage Glass Sword Chillrend Colour by Darman96 permissions and these amazing weapon designs.
Cathedral of Vilassian merges Ruined Temple of Phynaster and Iceclaw Chapel into a single dungeon in the Forgotten Vale, adding revised encounters and 4 unique weapons. A compact dungeon overhaul for Skyrim players seeking a fresh challenge in a familiar area.
