📋 About This Mod

I write this so others remember. For every son lost to the legions, with promise of gold and civility. For those that whittle down their tusks to avoid goring their wives when they lay them. For those that spurn the Mauloch of NOW, for the Trinimac of THEN. Dol Khazun Reborn is a remaster of an old mod of mine by the same name. It's an orc-themed player home with all the essentials, situated in a nook northeast of North Brittleshin Pass, near Whiterun.

Features & New Stuff:

  • []Fully overhauled interior: mine and hold merged into one cavern and remade from scratch;

    []More details in the exterior;

    []Improved NPC pathing;

    []Chieftain's room updated;

    []Improved lighting overall;

    []A new lorebook for additional exposition;

    []Lightweight install compared to old version;

    []All basic crafting facilities: cooking, smithing, alchemy, enchanting;

  • Plenty of safe storage.

    Installation

    Install as usual, I recommend Mod Organizer 2. Then generate DyndoLOD if you want distant LOD.

    Compatibility:

    Strictly incompatible with the old Dol Khazun mod.

    Apart from that: no vanilla records are edited, aside from obviously necessary additions to the Skyrim worldspace. Everything else is standalone, so it should be compatible with virtually everything.
