📋 About This Mod
TUNDRA STRONGHOLD
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hello, all. It's finally here after months of work. Tundra Stronghold is a brand new home inspired by Daggerfall and Arena. This home is furnished in a more ancient design fitting for the region of the Whiterun Tundra. With a huge tower overlooking the plains, guards to watch your home, and npcs to compliment your stay. This is the latest in my work of level design, and I hope everyone enjoys it.
