📋 About This Mod

This is small overhaul of the dunmer settlements on Solstheim, Raven Rock and Tel Mithryn. The aim is to add more fitting details to both

towns with vanilla styled assets, with out overdoing it.

Changes in Raven Rock:

- adding an Statue of Azura outside the temple

- adding some more light sources

- every entrance to the town is now visibly marked by Redoran banners

- the path leading north is now guarded and decorated with banners

- the Redoran Guards are now equipped with the Bonemold Guard Armor

- the Arano family now got their own manor, since Adril Arano is second chancelor of Raven Rock

- two ruined buildings will be rebuild after the mine re-opens and will be inhabited by the miners, to resemble that Raven Rock is getting back

on it´s feets.

- replaced the iron and steel weapons inside the Bulwark barracks with elven counterparts

Changes in Tel Mithryn:

- as one of the last Telvanni strongholds it is now surrounded by (de)fences formed from roots

- adding a Telvanni-styled Gate

- adding three Telvanni Guards to protect the area, since the ash wastes are a dangerous place

- the Telvanni Guards now got their own Bonemold Cuirass

- adding a small garden with ash growing ingredients next to the   apothecary

- small changes to the interiors, like removing some cobwebs and adding some lighting

This Mod will be incompatible with other Mods changing Raven Rock and Tel Mithryn. Separate versions for each settlement are available in the files section.
