📋 About This Mod
Wayshrines
Unmoored featurees 9 intact wayshrines, one for each hold, with unique models and theming, representing their primary use as religious sites and chapels for the people of Skyrim. Activate a wayshrine to light the brazier, then touch the altar to instantaneously travel to another wayshrine you have previously lit.
Allied characters (such as followers, minions, zombies and tamed animals) within 40 feet will travel with you.
In addition to the intact wayshrines comprising the Web of Sojourn, Unmoored adds several ruined ones, representing those that did not survive the ravages of time. Most of them can still be used for travel, though their destination is random.
Wayshrines are revealed on the map once you get close. See the map on the screenshots page for the locations of all known wayshrines, or discover them yourself during your travels!
questline
Unmoored contains a small voiced questline to ease your character into the rare and legendary power of fast travel. Your first attempts may not go as planned, but your failures will be observed by someone with a keen interest in anyone who might be capable of wayshrine travel.
(Spoiler: See the Docs page for a walkthrough.)
Magic
Unmoored adds the following spells:
-
[]Phasing: Travel to a random location, but only if you are outdoors in Tamriel or Solstheim.[/]
[]Warp: Travel to a wayshrine of your choice, but only if you are outdoors in Tamriel or Solstheim.[/]
All spells use custom assets.
Compatibility
The mod is developed for Skyrim 1. 6. 640. It should run on earlier versions if BEES (for backwards compatibility) is installed and Survival Mode is present.
The mod includes minimal worldspace changes. Skyrim merges cell edits from multiple mods, so a conflict will only happen if another mod places a building or object in the exact same spot as an Unmoored wayshrine. Due to the design of the wayshrines, no navmesh changes are needed.
The mod is lightweight and does not include scripts running in the background.

Includes a small voiced questline and two travel spells (Phasing and Warp), all using custom assets. Developed for Skyrim 1.6.640, with compatibility notes for earlier versions.
