📋 About This Mod
INTRODUCTION
Continuing my series of improved city entrances, here is my take on Markarth. I expanded the wall as well as the mountains next to it, to make the city look like the fortress it's supposed to be. The watchtowers have been moved to more tactical locations and a small garrison of guards has been placed near the entrance of the city. The people of Markarth have learned to use the dwarven ruins to their advantage but with the forsworn menace growing, they've had to build a few improvised defenses where needed.With the war raging and the return of the dragons, the security had to be reinforced. More guards, more walls, more weapons : Markarth is now ready.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a simple location overhaul, you can install it manually by dropping the files into your Data folder, but using a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 makes uninstalling easier.
- If you use other mods that alter Markarth, check for conflicts in your load order — place this mod after them to ensure its changes take priority.
- Consider using LOOT to sort your load order automatically, which helps avoid compatibility issues with other location mods.
