📋 About This Mod

- Overview -
An overhaul to the Abandoned Lodge in Solstheim
- What Is This? -
After doing some more searching for places to overhaul, I came across this location. It is a part of the A New Source of Stalhrim quest where you go to find a missing blacksmith that is held captive by Thalmor soldiers. I wanted to differentiate this completely from vanilla since it is VERY similar to Alvor and Sigrid's house in the base game so decided to use JPSteel2's Cities of the North - Falkreath meshes to create a completely new interior.
