FAQ:

Q: How do I get to Artaeum?

A: Complete College of Winterhold-questline, and then go across the bridge to Winterhold Town.

(Debug:Travel to the rowboat, east of Solitude Docks, and pull the lever.)

Q: How do I get to Auridon?

A: Complete season 1 (Magnus-quests), and then speak to the Artaeum Master. He will wait for you by the Artaeum docks.

Q: How do I get to Summerset?

A: After completing season 3 you should speak to Ju-Lihen or the Auridon Master, depending on how season 3 ended for you.

Q: Can I update mid-save?

A: Commonly, yes. But if you have already progressed into the Season 4 storyline(i.e. you're on Summerset Isle) it's possible that some references were moved with v. 1. 7. I apologize for this, but in the long run this is what's best for everyone.

Q: Do I need to download previous seasons first?

A: No! All seasons are included in the same file.

Q: Must I create a New Save?

A: No. Even if you have already completed the College you can install this safely. Just return to the College, and you should receive your invitation.

Q: What happens if I pull the lever without completing CoW questline?

A: Not recommended as you will be required to revisit places, such as Saarthal.

Q: How do I get access to the new spells?

A: Most are sold by the librarian at the Academy. Then once you get to Summerset they can be purchased from any vendor.

Q: Is this lore-friendly?

A: Yes. I'm not super well-read on Elder Scrolls Lore, but where there was a chance of conflict I did my best to look things up.

Q: Does "final season" mean there won't be any more updates?

A: Not really. While the main story is hereby considered finished I am anticipating that you players will find errors here and there that require fixing. Of c
