A VERY SPECIAL THANKS TO ShitagiDorobou WHO CORRECTED THE ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF JOURNAL ENTRIES
This is my dungeon mod for Skyrim: THE SECRET OF DRAGONHEAD. Find out the secret by going through this epic dungeon.
Fight all "very hard" leveled NPCs, find treasures, walk into the darkness!
There is a little quest, it's activated by reading a book equipped by a dead imperial inside the dungeon.
BEFORE YOU INSTALL THIS MOD
Make a clean savegame before install this mod. My mod is tested and it should be safe and bugfree. However do a clean savegame before installation. You should be at least lvl 30 and it requires at least 1 hour to finish.
