📋 About This Mod
The vicious vampire attack on the Vigil of Stendarr has left their Hall a smoking ruin.
Resurrect the Hall from the ashes and rebuild it over time to its former glory.
Clear the rubble, relight the forge and construct new towers stronger and taller than before.
Lay the foundations for a more secure fortified front entrance to repel attacks.
Gather building materials and mend the damaged roof, walls and windows.
Affix the door to your restored Hall to become an interior cell and new home.
Outfit the interior with a chapel, kitchen, crafting areas and barracks.
Excavate the cellar and build a vault to house confiscated Daedric artifacts.
News of the reconstructed Hall has traveled and new Vigilant recruits are eager to bolster the ranks.
The vampires will not take kindly to this affront and they will attack again.
Defend the perimeter with new recruits and fend off the growing vampire and werewolf attacks.
The Vigilants are rising. Stendarr is Rising.
Stendarr Rising is a "Hearthfire Lite" rebuild of the destroyed Hall of the Vigilants.
The materials needed are minimal in comparison but enough to feel rewarding for the player to build over time.
Activate the carpenter's workbench in the shed to start rebuilding. Each action takes a small amount of time to complete.
We encourage the player to visit the Hall prior to its destruction to see lite versions of the structures before they are destroyed.
In vanilla the Hall is destroyed when the player reaches level 10 and Dawnguard starts. Mods can delay the Dawnguard start.
- Recruits -
In total the player can recruit 8 Vigilants and they each have unique AI routines.
Vigilant recruits will guard the gates around the clock and patrol the perimeter.
There are two Expert trainers (Restoration and One Handed) and two followers.
Two armored Huskies and a Horse can also be purchased via the workbench.
The recruits and animals are set to "protected".
- Resources -
All construction, recruitment and purchases are via the carpenter's workbench.
By default Werewolves and Vampires cannot use the workbench (toggle off in MCM).
Additional iron, silver and clay deposits have been added in the area to help gather resources.
General merchants, i.e. The Riverwood Trader, sell glass and straw. Lumber can be purchased from sawmills.
- Night Raids -
Vampire and Werewolf attacks will begin once the door is repaired changing the Hall to an interior
