📋 About This Mod
Harrowing Hamvir Dustman
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dustman's Cairn is the first major dungeon in the Companions questline. It contains an incredibly sacred relic to the Nordic people, yet its exterior has nothing to show for it. Even stranger, Hamvir's Rest, an entirely separate and unrelated dungeon, sits literally feet away. In this mod, I have fused the two aforementioned dungeons into one mega complex, with its own identity beyond the peculiarity of vanilla. Now, Hamvir's Rest is a required stop before entering Dustman's Cairn as the hill is walled off now. A new staircase has been placed to lead to the upper level, but so have new dangers.
This mod overhauls Hamvir's Rest and Dustman's Cairn in Whiterun Hold, offering a fresh take on two vanilla locations. With 730 endorsements and nearly a million downloads, it's a popular choice for Skyrim players seeking enhanced exploration without adding new content.

For Skyrim players who want to revisit familiar dungeons with a fresh coat of paint. If you're tired of the same old Hamvir's Rest and Dustman's Cairn, this mod gives them a new feel. Skip if you're after new quests or major gameplay changes—this is purely a location overhaul.
