📋 About This Mod
Due to some life changes I don't have the time right now to continue working on this mod. As is the mod is complete and fully playable. If someone wishes to improve or make any changes please see the permissions page. I'll still be lurking on the forums from time to time and offer any advice I can.
The Forgotten Island is a small quest mod that adds a new island off the coast of Tamriel. A group of Necromancers have hired some bandits to kidnap people and bring them to use for their experiments. In the first quest, Engar one of the last inhabitants of the island has asked the Dragonborn for help in stopping them. You must first stop the bandits and Engar will then suggest where the Necromancers are hiding so you can put an end to their practices. The quest is started after passing through the intersection of the bridge over the White River outside Whiterun and the road to Riverwood. A courier will deliver a note from Engar. The second quest will start after the first is complete, by Engar asking if you are interested in another adventure. It concerns a secret cave used by the Imperials used to hold weapons and treasure.(After completing visit the Drunken Huntsman in Whiterun ) The third quest is started via a note from Engar after passing through the intersection of the bridge out of Riverwood and the road to Whiterun. After the second quest is completed visit the Drunken Huntsman in Whiterun
I recommend installing with Nexus Mod Manager or the Mod Manager of your choice. Of course manual install is also an option.
This mod has been tested with different level characters and is completely follower friendly. Cleaned with TES5Edit, and will work on existing saves as well as a new game. I suggest saving before activating the mod to make uninstallation easier if its not to your liking.
