The Vault of Narzak
by: venjhammet
A new quest awaits you northwest of Narzurbul in Eastmarch hold. Seek out Drift Rock Cave and gain entrance to the Dwemer ruin within. There, you'll encounter a bandit group camped out, awaiting their companion's arrival before venturing into Narzak's vault to claim a powerful relic weapon.
This dungeon features a simple questline that activates upon looting and reading a note from one of the bandits. Using only vanilla assets, it boasts lush vegetation and treacherous poisonous gas. You won't find another dungeon quite like it in Skyrim or even on Solstheim.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 290 endorsements and over 7,000 downloads.
- Uses only vanilla assets, so it's lightweight and won't conflict with texture overhauls.
- Questline and dungeon design offer variety, including a Blackreach-like cavern and poisonous gas hazards.
⚠️ Cons
- Not compatible with Hammet Dungeon Pack 2, so you'll have to choose between them.
- Requires Skyrim SE v1.5.97 or later, which might be an issue for players on older versions.
- No console ports allowed, so console players are out of luck.
For Skyrim players who enjoy exploring new dungeons with a simple quest and don't mind vanilla visuals. It's a good pick for those who want a lore-friendly addition without heavy mod dependencies. Skip if you're on an older game version or want a more complex, story-driven quest mod.
💡 Beginner Tips

- If you use Hammet Dungeon Pack 2, disable it before installing this mod to avoid conflicts.
