Shor's Watchtower Reclaimed

Dead bodies, bloodstains and a note saying reinforcement were expected, and...   Well, that was pretty much it.   We were left hanging.

Entering Shor's Watchtower or the area of its future barracks (The broken down old house added by Arthmoor's Shor's Stone) starts a fixing up and reclaiming process that proceeds over the course of several days.

Yes.  You have to visit Shor's Stone several times over several days.  That's right, the place most people probably only visit once or twice.   Now you have a reason to go back.

Day 1: Reinforcements arrive.   They set to work cleaning up: the bodies are removed and loaded into coffins on a cart.  Temporary sleeping accomodations are set up by the future barracks, a cot under its porch.  Piles of supplies for the rebuilding appear.

Day 2: The cart and coffins are gone, hopefully on their way to the nearest Priest of Arkay.  Bloodstains and strewn hay piles in the tower have been cleaned up.   Guard are working at removing rubble from the future barracks site.

Day 3: Rubble has been removed, some building supplies have been used up, some trees, shrubs and rocks have been removed from the nearby landscape.

Day 4: Barracks has been built.   Archery range added just to the West of the barracks.  Several lanterns added.

Day 5: Final stage.  Finishing touches appear- several banners, Riften or Imperial depending on Shor's Stone's allegiance.  A second shift of Shor's Stone town guards arrives.

There are six tower guards total.  They operate in two shifts of three each.  At any time, three of them will be "on duty" and patrolling the tower and surrounding area.  On Day 5, a second shift of Shor's Stone town guards also arrive.  They operate in a similar manner- 3 are on duty patrolling the town while the other three are off duty.

Off Duty town or tower guards may train at the archery range, followed up by grabbing a pint at The Tapped Vein (Inn).  they may hang out around the barracks porch, or sleep in the barracks.

If The Rift's allegiance changes before you visit the Tower for the first time, the bodies you find will be Imperial, the note will mention a Stormcloak patrol, and the banners on the tower will be Imperial ones instead of Rift banners.   Same as in vanilla.

If the Shor's Stone allegiance changes after the reclamation process is complete, the allegiance of the guards will change to match.

If Shor's Stone allegiance changes in the middle of the reclamation process- expect a bloodfest.  The tower guards won't update until the process is finished, but the town guards still will.

This was made with USSEP.  But it is not a required master.   If you don't use USSEP, expect NavMesh bugs.  But you're probably ok with that, as I expect anyone who doesn't use USSEP enjoys bugs anyway.

Guards won't do weapons training without it,
