📋 About This Mod

VERSION 1. 2. 1

(04/02/2026)

"For what it's worth I'll never forget you, and I'm going to live a very, very long time. So … yes. Take care, all right?" - Drake of Blades

Travel to one of the islands of the Chain and discover what turned their island into a purple aspen tree island. Help the citizens through their struggles or join the East Empire Company to develop trade with other islands and people! But be careful, some of your actions have consequences: helping some people may help them find an occupation, or unlock something, or just die, maybe, who knows?

This "New Lands" and "Quest" mod has 16 quests that all take place in the Chain. While very small, these new islands should keep you occupied for a few hours! If you are also looking for a place to sleep, you can get yourself a small island in the Chain for you and your children!

What's new in version 1. 2. 0? The Chain has new visitors! The Night Sister Eira is hiding in the Cevil Lighthouse, waiting for you to help her on a small quest called "The End of the Crows". Her quest might give you new information about the purple plague that transformed the island.

Avita Favorius, daughter of Duvia Favorius, is looking for information about her mother who disappeared in the Chain twenty years ago. Once you've finished the main quest, head towards the Gremlin Ship and talk to her. You might gather some interesting information about her mother, but also about Nicolas...

  • []How do I start the mod?

First of all, wait 24 hours in-game for the mod to set itself correctly. Then, head to the Frozen Hearth in Winterhold, a woman called Rilia will be asking for help. Be sure to have a health potion on yourself when talking to her, she needs one!

  • []Is this mod voiced?

Yes, it is! By a lot of people!

  • []Are there any recruitable followers in this mod?

Depending on what you do, there might be. Fauns, Lamias, Nicolas Gavinius? They may all become your followers, if you help them first.

  • []Where are the quests?

Talk to the people in the Chain, some of their dialogues will lead you to quests.

  • []Do I get to make my own decisions in this mod?

Slightly. Your choices may turn some characters into followers, or into vendors, or into dead corpses. The choices are pretty explicit, so you shouldn't be shocked of the outcomes.

  • []Are these new lands follower friendly?

Yes, the islands are fully navmeshed. However, a character from the story will accompany you anyway, and your other followers will not be able to follow in certain story areas.
