📋 About This Mod

"We'll be in touch." - Azadi

After finishing the Remnants' quest from the Creation Club "Redguard Elite Armaments", Fijeh and Rakeed both vanish, returning to Hammerfell. This is your opportunity to find them again, and help the Remnants spy on the Thalmor once again. Once you talk with Boscean, you will be able to work again as an agent of the Remnants and recruit Rakeed (the one that you saved from the Thalmor) to be your follower.

This mod adds a total of 7 quests in the Alik'r Desert from the Gray Cowl of Nocturnal mod, four on a notice board and three that are initiated by talking to Boscean near the Remnant Tower.

If you want even more stuff to do in the Alik'r Desert, you can also check out the Betalille's Hammerfell Quests Bundle and Pirates in the Desert. If you want to have the full experience of all the mods I made for the Alik'r Desert, then I suggest to get the bundle as well!

The mod The Gray Cowl of Nocturnal SE, by mannygt is obviously a requirement. The mod should work fine with Gray Cowl of Nocturnal Alikr Flora Overhaul SE by sa547 as well as Camels and new animals in Alik'r Desert (Hammerfell) SE by gg77 (a patch is available for the camel mod).

  • []Where are the quests and how do I start them?

By heading west of the Watchtower in the Alik'r Desert, you should soon find a tower where a Remnant agent called Boscean is posted. Talk to him and he will talk about a notice board where you will find four of the quests you can do. The rest of the quests are a small questline that start by talking once again to Boscean, who will lead you to Leja-al-Rihad, who needs your help.

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

Yes. Rakeed, that you saved during the CC quest is now ready to follow you. You will find him either inside or outside the Remnant Tower.

  • []Do I need the Anniversary edition for this mod?

No, the AE edition is not necessary, but you do need the "Redguard Elite Armaments" creation from the Creation Club.

      This mod expands the Creation Club Redguard Elite Armaments quest by adding a new base for the Remnants in the Alik'r Desert from The Gray Cowl of Nocturnal. After completing the original quest, players can join forces with the Remnants again. It's a niche content expansion for Skyrim players who own both mods.

      Allows players to join forces with the Remnants after completing the Redguard Elite Armaments quest.

      🎯 Is This For You?
