📋 About This Mod

This mod adds 8 new dungeons to Skyrim, all of which are lore-friendly, seamlessly integrated into the world, and fully compatible with both Forgotten Dungeons (by juhaantero68) and Hammet's Dungeon Pack (by venjhammet). Everything has also been hand-cleaned and polished with TES5Edit for maximum compatibility. Dragonborn and Dawnguard DLCs are required!

My goal for this mod from the beginning has been to maximize immersion by emulating the quality of Bethesda's base-game dungeons. With any luck, by the time you stumble across these dungeons, they will feel just like another part of Skyrim. Dungeon locations can be discovered through exploration, Radiant Questing, or by reading new books scattered throughout Skyrim (see the ReadMe for the complete list of locations).

There are 8 dungeons included in the current version (v1. 5), including:

Grimroot Hollow - A large spriggan cave / Nord temple north of Robber's Gorge. High difficulty (level 24+), ~1 hour length. Does not reset.

A narrative-focused adventure where players must choose a side in the fight between the spirits of nature and the forces of evil.

Welkinspire - A large, haunted Blades outpost north of Markarth. Moderate difficulty (level 10+), ~1 hour length. Does not reset.

Rimewake Grotto - A small sea cave west of Broken Oar Grotto (Solitude). High difficulty (level 24+), ~15 minutes length.

Shatterstone Mine - A large, bandit-infested mine south of Falkreath. Moderate difficulty (level 10+), ~1 hour length.

Vallaskr - A large, Nord ruin northeast of Windhelm. Moderate/hard difficulty (level 10+), ~1 hour length. Does not reset.

Stonehill Refuge - A large Giant cavern, located beneath Stonehill Bluff. High difficulty (level 32+), ~1 hour length.

Khalbad's Rest - A small Orcish shrine/burial cave near Avanchnzel (the Rift). High difficulty (level 30+), ~15 minutes length.

Steamcrag Springs - A medium-sized necromancer cave near Steamcrag Camp (Eastmarch). Very high difficulty (level 50+), ~30 minutes length.
