📋 About This Mod
Slain mercilessly, and their kingdom sunk, by the All Flags Navy in retaliation for The Thrassian Plague, Sloads were made to be nearly extinct. However, many remained, and their numbers have grown since The Second Era.
When Sloads gather, it is a sure sign that they have taken the initiative to perform something horrific. Sloads do not act idly, and only do so when they are certain they are on the path to their desire.
When a Redguard Corsair named Talhik spots a group of Sloads on an island near the Thrassian Archipelago, these thoughts stirred through his mind. What may come if they are left to their desires?
Assist Talhik with his concerns, and travel to the island near Thras to slay the Sloads!
Features
This mod features a relatively short quest, begun by speaking with Talhik Stellten, a Redguard Corsair, in Solitude after you are at least Level 10. It is recommended that you are at least Level 15 however.
He wears very unique equipment. Talhik will be at his ship near the Solitude Lighthouse in the mornings, to sleep and be with his crew, until 3PM. He will have a walk around Solitude, at which point he can often be found at The Winking Skeever from 6PM-12AM. Until you are Level 10, he will have no unique dialogue and will go about his schedule.
After hearing of what Talhik saw when you speak with him, you are given the choice to travel with him to the Island near Thras to slay the Sloads! You will sail to a new worldspace, where the quest continues from. Who knows what could unfold?
Talhik's ship is docked near the Solitude Lighthouse, with a smaller ship on the coast nearby to get onto the ship. Talhik and his crew all have fully laid-out schedules, and you may find Talhik speaking with certain patrons at The Winking Skeever regarding certain topics. The ship interiors and exterior fully supports their living situation and has been decorated/cluttered to the best of my ability. All worldspaces and interiors are fully navmeshed.
After completing the quest, you will find that Talhik and his crew set sail every few days, and they will arrive back in the same time interval.
Distant terrain/object LOD has been implemented in the new worldspace. Talhik's ship in Skyrim is a Full LOD model/neverfade, and will appear on the map and (This is currently not the case, update soon) in the distance while in Skyrim. Having said that I highly recommend you run DynDOLOD, along with other necessary tools for LOD generation,
The Thrassian Scare is a compact quest mod that introduces Talhik, a Redguard Corsair, and his ship near the Solitude Lighthouse. Players can join Talhik's crew on a voyage to an island to battle Sloads. With 233 endorsements and a recent update, it's a niche addition for Skyrim adventurers seeking a short, lore-friendly quest.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 233 endorsements.
- High download count (162k) shows real interest.
- Recently updated (Dec 2024) so likely compatible with current setups.
⚠️ Cons
- Small scope—just one quest, so don't expect hours of content.
- Potential conflicts with mods that alter the Solitude Lighthouse area.
- No mention of voice acting or custom assets, so it might be text-heavy.
For Skyrim players who want a quick, lore-friendly pirate adventure without a huge questline. If you're into Redguard lore or just want a change of pace from the main story, this is a neat little detour. Skip it if you're looking for a sprawling, multi-hour quest mod.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to check the Solitude Lighthouse area—the ship is easy to miss if you fast-travel directly to Solitude.
- If you use a mod manager, install via that to keep your load order clean.
- Consider pairing with a mod that improves ship interiors for a better experience.
