Gravewind

Arkay's Blessing prevents the souls of men, beastmen, and elves from being used without consent. Arkay's Law prevents those buried with the proper rituals from being raised to serve the necromancer's will. As you know, Arkay's Blessing is flexible to those with daring, but Arkay's Law is unwavering.

Orkey, an enemy god, had always tried to ruin the Nords, even in Atmora where he stole their years away. Seeing the strength of King Wulfharth, Orkey summoned the ghost of Alduin Time-Eater again.

This mod introduces a mysterious old Nordic legend that tells of Orkey, walking shadows, and the death of an old priestess countless centuries ago. And at the heart of it all, the strange realm of Gravewind. A realm of undead, an afterlife conjured by a witch now forgotten by all, except the most devout of undead hunters and priests of Arkay.

Journey through the halls haunted by those who fell into the strange world of death, just like you, and try to make it back home without having your soul enthralled. Or worse.

Gravewind is explorable as an expansive multi-layered dungeon littered with unique forms of undead.

Within you will find abandoned homesteads, catacombs, traps, and an underground city populated entirely by ghosts and golems.

Survive to the end, and you might be able to reign over it as a lord of lost undead.

Or maybe you'd rather see it crumble into nothing, and free the souls trapped inside?

Regardless, Gravewind anticipates your arrival.

Recommended Level: 25ish+. Probably an emphasis on +.

Safe to install mid-playthrough.

How to Start the Quest:

Travel just northwest of the Roadside Ruins in Falkreath, and enter the abandoned homestead.

Note that you WILL be trapped from the moment the quest begins, so stock up on supplies beforehand. Or don't. I'm not your mom. 

Compatibility and Important Notes:

Game Settings:

Make sure your Object Fade is set high for intended experience. If you play on lower settings, make sure to also grab the Non-Animated Sludge file.

Depending on your ENB or ENB settings much of the weather effects, lighting, etc won't look as they're intended to. Such is modding. My screenshots are with a mostly unchanged NAT III ENB, and I tried to balance the lightning between that and vanilla lightning, but I can't say how other ENBs will perform.

Mods that edit the location of the house are not compatible, and if you experience issues with these mods please let me know so I can put together a list! So far this includes:
