📋 About This Mod
The Enemy Of My Enemy.
Quick Overview
Popular Thalmor Quote:
"You are but a dog, and I am your master!"
I present a warring drama built upon the subplots and themes of the civil war, the Thalmor, Ulfric Stormcloak and the empire which combines into an eventual wider affair. With an hr of blood & guts, an intense non-stop battle this questing adventure will see the Dragonborn protect the races of Skyrim from the insanity of the Altmer race.
This mod should not conflict with any other mod. Separate Island, units and totally independent from vanilla Skyrim civil war assets or other.
Can be run with or without TPOS Mods.
PLEASE NOTE: Once you start the quest on the Island there is no way off until you finish it.
PLEASE NOTE--TPOS 2 V10 HAS ITS OWN

About
This quest is driven by the Skyrim civil war narrative and by the subtle built-in narratives into the game by TPOS complete & the new TPOS 2 mod.
The subtle references found in my mods by observant users will see TPOS2 & TEOME
(This Mod ) stitch together the inevitable path of the narrative down a very clear road. A road I have wanted to go down for a very long time.
It is an obvious and inevitable one which will lead to a much wider conflict throughout Skyrim and the whole of Tamriel.
The Enemy Of My Enemy is a quest mod for Skyrim that adds a warring drama involving the Thalmor, Ulfric, and the Empire, culminating in an intense battle on a separate island. It starts via a dead Thalmor near the Guardian Stones or during Diplomatic Immunity, and offers about an hour of content. Designed to avoid conflicts with other mods.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 394 endorsements and over 11k downloads.
- Designed to be conflict-free with other mods, using a separate island and independent assets.
- Flexible start options: either during Diplomatic Immunity or via a dead Thalmor near the Guardian Stones.
⚠️ Cons
- Once you start the quest on the island, there's no way off until you finish it—commit before you go.
- Last updated in January 2023, so it may not be actively maintained for the latest Skyrim versions.
- Potential compatibility risk with mods that alter the Diplomatic Immunity quest or the Guardian Stones area.
For Skyrim players who want a self-contained quest adventure focused on Thalmor conflict and large-scale battles. If you're looking for a quick, linear quest with high action and don't mind being locked into the island until completion, this is for you. Skip if you prefer open-ended quests or mods that integrate deeply with the main civil war storyline.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using TPOS 2 V10, use the version included in its FOMOD installer to avoid conflicts.
- Use the console commands provided (coc thalmorembassy02) to test the quest quickly if you're a mod reviewer.
- Make sure to read the diary after killing the Altmer wizard to trigger the doorway to the island.
