Skyfall's Fortified Morthal

~ Introduction ~

This mod was created because of how uninspired the vanilla town of Morthal felt. There was so much potential to create a unique atmosphere. Morthal is an incredible location that deserves its own identity.

This mod aims to transform the town into an interesting and memorable experience for you as the player to explore. My hope is to significantly elevate the grim atmosphere we see in Morthal.

Morthal now has unique architecture for the farmhouses, the Jarl’s keep, gatehouses, walls, and watchtowers. The fortifications are reasonable and practical given the dismal economic status and lack of resources of the capital of Hjaalmarch. The defenses are just “good enough” to attempt to keep out any monsters in the swamp and any marauding bandits.

Special attention has been given to pay homage to Morthal’s storied history and lore, surrounding Morihaus - a Minotaur skull and Morihaus motif can be found on the Jarl’s Keep.
