📋 About This Mod
This entire mod is now included in the Beta release of Dracula's Castle in the optional files section. The main floor has been updated to include more varied enemies found in Drac's Castle, though some of the enemies were left. In that version, I believe I have fixed the crashing issues in the dungeon. That is currently NOT a part of this version of the Dark Lord's Fortress. If I find the changes have worked, I'll implement them here.

Original mod: Dark Lord's Fortress by thedarkone1047 (formerly daveurban10)
Potential Compatibility Issues:
Snow Elf Palace
Unique Border Gates
Known Issues:
CTDs in the dungeon experienced by some people (I have had it both crash and work for me personally)
Background:
While watching a Febrith Darkstar video a few months ago, I noticed she hovered over an icon that said "Castlevania Gate". I immediately HAD to investigate and find where it came from. It was from this mod, released in 2014 on moddb by the user named daveurban10, known on the nexus as thedarkone1047. I searched around for other ports (so as not to be redundant) or mentions of this mod being posted (in an updated state) anywhere else.
In any case, I ported the mod to use some of the assets in my mod Project Halloween and felt I should share the original here too since it isn't otherwise available to SE. It features a massive castle in its own worldspace east of Windhelm near Refugee's Rest to explore. Enjoy!

Dark Lord's Fortress - SE Port brings the Castlevania-inspired vampire fortress to Skyrim Special Edition, offering a new dungeon to explore and potentially claim as a player home. This port of the original LE mod includes the main floor with varied enemies, but has known CTD issues in the dungeon. It is now superseded by the Beta of Dracula's Castle, which includes fixes.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 280 endorsements and over 8,300 downloads.
- Brings a piece of Castlevania into Skyrim SE for fans of the series.
- Offers both dungeon crawling and a potential player home in one mod.
⚠️ Cons
- Known CTD issues in the dungeon that haven't been fixed in this version.
- The mod is essentially abandoned in favor of Dracula's Castle, so don't expect updates here.
- Compatibility conflicts with Snow Elf Palace and Unique Border Gates could cause problems.
For Skyrim SE players who love Castlevania and want a vampire-themed dungeon to explore or call home. Also for those who want a taste of the larger Dracula's Castle mod without the full package. Skip if you're not into Castlevania or if you can't tolerate potential crashes in the dungeon.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since the mod has known CTD issues, save before entering the dungeon to avoid losing progress.
- If you use mods like Snow Elf Palace or Unique Border Gates, be aware of potential conflicts and consider load order adjustments.
- Check out the Beta of Dracula's Castle if you want a more stable and updated version of this content.
