📋 About This Mod

Dawnstar has always been lacking a general store. I wanted to change that in a minimalistic way.

Inspired by the mod Morthal Where's Wares, I present the Hawking Horker, a general store for Dawnstar.

This adds one building, The Hawking Horker, which is owned and operated by "Torvi", with a bit of help from her daughter "Hauti".

The shop sells an assortment of general goods, including Hearthfire materials.

Torvi runs the shop during typical shop hours and sandboxes when not working.

Hauti can be found patrolling the town, helping to feed the chickens at the inn, or sandboxing inside the shop.

The interior is fully navmeshed, as well as some minor navmesh edits to the exterior.

Haiti’s father?

I wanted to somewhat elude to the father/husband being either lost at sea or off fighting in the civil war.

When I say subtle, I mean VERY subtle.

There’s a setting at the table and chair which nobody uses, as it’s reserved for the dad/husband.

Torvi always sleeps on the left of the bed, leaving the right always unoccupied.

There’s a prayer idle marker near the unused side of the bed which Torvi may use.

A pair of old leather boots still siting by the fire.

Small little details like that sprinkled in. Just a little bit of open ended storytelling in which the player decides what, if any, story to apply to this family.
