📋 About This Mod
Skyrim Realistic Conquering All-In-One Pack
Once you clear this location of it's bandits, the next time you visit you will notice that the beacon is once again being used by Winterhold.
Soldiers take the place of the bandits and make it somewhat liveable in this harsh environment.
Lore
Snowpoint Beacon, a lonely but towering structure high up in the mountain of Winterhold. After clearing it of it's bandit inhabitants the beacon would become a beacon once more. Acknowledged by the Jarl of Winterhold this official beacon will signal the town when danger comes.
Fire means everything is fine. Magelight means danger.
Note from the author
I'm trying to make lightweight changes to forts and such places to become more immersive using the Fort Takeovers mod.
As of now I am not really making overhauls, but once I have done quite a few, I might start making Full versions. The current versions would become Lite versions.
If you have any suggestions for locations to makeover, or changes to the current locations, please contact me, I am eager to listen.
Doesn't mean I will do it but you know, we'll see.
This mod NEEDS Fort Takeovers by Apocrypher00.
