📋 About This Mod
This mod changes the requirements for starting Served Cold, which is the final quest in the Raven Rock questline, to also require completion of a number of Raven Rock's Favor quests, in addition to the two Raven Rock Side Quests which were required already. This makes receiving the accolade of "Citizen of Raven Rock" from Councilor Morvayn the equivalent of receiving Thaneship from Jarls in Skyrim.
