📋 About This Mod
This mod adds the Village Of Wynstead to the game.
Its ruled by its Thane and his Clan. His wife is the Blacksmith, his son is a raider who will sell various goods when he sails into port every couple of days.
It adds a Dark Elf Prisoner whose freedom you can pay for, after which he will offer to travel with you. he is rather basic but he's my first serious attempt at Follower modding.
Special Thanks To Ronniemagnum for his work on Assets and to AndrealphusVIII for his advice and for helping set up the optional file to make it so you can travel to the village via Ferry, note this is likely incompatible with mods that change the ferry system.
Adds a small village on an island off the coast of Winterhold, complete with a new follower and several merchants. A compact location mod for Skyrim players seeking new places to explore and trade.

💡 Beginner Tips

- Talk to the new follower and merchants to see what they offer—they might have unique items or services.
