​​The Sun Tower (Programmer needed) Before continuing, I would like to make clear, that I do not intend to leave everything someone else's hands. Rather, I wish to work as Lore Master, and make concepts for the mechanics. If you want the full details of the mod, and to work with me, send me an Email at "[email protected]". It's been a while since I started making the concept for a mod, a bit of a mix of most mod ideas I have had so far. It basically revolves around a Wizard from the 2nd Era, who was mad at his colleagues, because they always sought ancient forgotten magic. He believed that the power of these ancient mages, came from ambition and foresight, from tapping at the resources of unexplored magic, rather talking what was already available. So he decides to go Aetherius, said to be the source of all magic, and to tinker with the Elder Scrolls and Black Books. In the actual mod, you'll have to fight through a dungeon, called The Sun Tower, to reach Aetherius. The dungeon replenishes whenever you come back, so can't fight a bit at a time, and every 5 of the 20 stages, will be a puzzle. To start the quest, you must find a book in secret chest in Bleakfalls Barrow, that I recently found. Once you have completed the dungeon (The Sun Tower), another book can be found in a chest, containing details on how to upgrade your magick, through the help of Black Books, Elder Scrolls, and other artifacts. For more details regarding co-op, or the mod, contact me by sending an Email to "[email protected]". I would really appreciate the help.

I have no illusions about this being made 3 years in, but I had a story I wanted to share that could provide more closure to the ending of the main quest of the vanilla game. Starts off pretty cliched, Courier delivers a letter where a mysterious stranger has discovered the location of a powerful spear (that could kill a God etc. etc... could you retrieve it from this dungeon for a great reward) When you enter the dungeon you trigger a scripted first-person animation; a spear is thrust through your back and out your chest. You fall to the ground and the screen turns black. With the screen black you hear all the lines spoken by the deadra and nightmother about how they own your soul and then a third-person animation is triggered; companion spirits appear around you and hoist you toward the sky which looks like it did in sovngard. As you near the vortex the screen fades to white. You wake in a landscape of glowing blue plant life and a swirling orange sky. It's the edge of Aetherius, a purgatory of sorts populated by the Dwemer, where they have lived immortally and peacefully for thousands of years... but not any more because what fun would that be?! You encounter a shade that looks like the shadow of a small ice-wraith; Alduin. In his corporal form he tampers with the dwemer technology and in the resulting chaos and death, feeds and becomes larger and more complex. There are plenty of Draman variants to go through. After seeing a couple of large scale Dwemer facilities backfire and learning how the dwemer spent the last few thousand years (time is relative) and taking in a bit of culture, Alduin makes use of a prototype device to return to Nirn (unhindered by his physical form he would grow bigger as he feeds and potentially fulfil the prophecy to devour the world)... You complete a short mission to recharge the (plot) device (and give Alduin a head start) and follow him to Skyrim, pulling the spear out of your chest as you wake... Cue the epic battle outside whiterun with drauger and a giant ass Alduin versus the Legion/Stormcloaks and you with the one weapon that could potentially kill him for good

Can a mod please change my title to this so it all fits? {REL}Aetherius; The many and diverse heavens beyond the void You really need to fix me not being able to edit my own thread title, rather then giving me the ability to delete comments on my mod page. Or at least restrict the number of characters in the title to the number of characters it will post. Thank you for your time. VVVVV-Actual mod description begins below!!-VVVVV --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Our world was born from magicka, the creative force that informs and sustains all life. The sources of magic are the many and diverse heavens beyond the void, collectively known as the Aetherius. Aetherius, ancestral seat of the Nine Divines and the other original spirits, is the plane of pure magicka. Whereas Oblivion may surround us every night, it is aetherial energy that infuses our daily existence, from highest to lowest, and gives all the races of men, mer, and beast common purpose. Its magic brings the rain to the fields, love to our hearths, and scientific principles to our technological industries. It gives us the very Sun itself. Finally, Aetherius is the home to the Aedra, those cornerstones of the Mundus whose aspects we see in temple, in lordship, and the high walk of heroes." - Pocket Guide to the Empire, 3rd Edition "The planets are the gods and the planes of the gods, which is the same thing. That they appear as spherical heavenly bodies is a visual phenomena caused by mortal mental stress. Since each plane(t) is an infinite mass of infinite size, as yet surrounded by the Void of Oblivion, the mortal eye registers them as bubbles within a space. Planets are magical and impossible." The plane of Aetherium is a strange and wondrous place. The lore, so it be called, is left open to interpretation, even those who stare up at the night sky each and every night, admit they do not really see what their eyes behold. For each and every being on Nirn the sky is said to appear slightly different, as it's actual appearance is far to difficult for the average mortal mind to understand. It is said the Dwemer in all their vast understanding, never once described seeing Massar and Secunda, one may simply brush this off as a simple disinterest in these dead plane(t)s. But another possible answer is, the Dwemer saw the sky more for what it is then the average mortal, and that Massar and Secunda are but what the average mind creates when staring up into the countless plane(t)s of Aetherius. But, the Dragonborn is not the average mind. You see, the blood of the god of Aetherius, Akatosh himself runs through your veins, and thus the illusion of the lesser mind is not placed upon you. So you, and you alone in this age can observe the plane(t)s of Aetherius in their true, indescribable majesty. Though the 8 Aedra are called the Gods, and that these 8 Gods make up the 8 Plane(t)s of the Gods, it is also said they are not the only beings in the Aetherial plane. They are many. They are diverse. The Aedra are what we call the 8 who selflessly created our world, but the Deadra are what we call the ones that selfishly meddle in our world. The Deadric planes are the Deadric gods and the planets of the gods, which is the same thing, just as they are the same as Aedra, just lesser. As lesser as one infinite thing can be from another. The Aedra and Deadra are not the only beings in the Aetherius, but the only ones that have an effect on the Mortal plane(t), in truth, there are countless diverse plane(t)s and gods, many of which keeps to themselves, and their own machinations. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Installation Download the file, and extract the "Data" folder from the "Core - Main Files" folder, and merge it with the "data" folder in your "Skyrim" folder (The one that contains SkyrimLauncher.exe) and make sure it overrights EVERY file it asks to overright! (they are all texture files) This mod will NOT work or look right without every single one of these files. Then, open the folder for every option you want or need to install and extract the "Data" folder from each one, one by one, and merge it with your "Data" folder in the same exact manner described above. Install "Low Res Galaxy DDS" if you want to save FPS(make sure to install AFTER the main file then say YES when it asks to overright!) install "Climates of Tamriel" folder if you use Climates of Tamriel, and install "Moon Size ESP" folder if you want to have larger moons like in the screenshots! HERE is a visual example of what your Data/Textures/Sky folder should look like, and how to make sure the mod is installed correctly! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Questions and Answers Q] What happened to my stars?/Why are my stars shining through my planets? A] This mod removes stars. If you try to install a star texture with this mod, the result will be very very glitchy and horrible looking, this is thanks to a limitation in skyrim's way of handling the sky, and there is nothing I can do about it without totally destroying every aspect of how this mod works. If you want a simple galaxy replacer with no planets and normal stars, go download one! ^_^ There are about 50 of them. Q] My ENB exploded when I installed this! A] ENBs do that. It's not my fault. They are very finicky and glitchy, I designed this mod to work with them if they are reasonably designed, but as some have INSANE amounts of bloom there is simply nothing I can do to make this mod work with all of them short of making 900 patches for every ENB on the nexus. Q] Will this work with.... ? A] Probably. This should work with anything that does not edit the night sky. This replaces EVERY texture in the night sky, and thus, you should not attempt to combined it with any mod that edits the NIGHT sky, or the sun texture. Q] How does it look with Climates of Tamriel? A] AMAZING. Because it is designed to be used with it, and in fact the sun texture is edited from it's sun texture (with permission of coarse) Make sure to install the CoT optional files, or your sun might randomly change colors on you! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Suggested Mods This is the Spiritual Successor to my other mod More Alien Skyrim if you like this mod, give that mod a look! Please note, that these two mods are VERY incompatible with one another! This mod is designed to work with Climates of Tamriel and will look much better with it. It does not at all require it to work though, it just looks better then vanilla. Enhanced Lights and FX also looks great with this mod. I suggest the SweetFX mod Ultimate Lighting Overhaul and my preset for it Dramatic Cinematic. Combine this with ELFX and COT to get the exact look of my screenshots. Random Mod Title is another of my mods that allows you to play as Deadmau5 in skyrim. It has NOTHING to do with this mod, but what harm does a little self promotion on my own mod page do?

OK, so I have a great idea for a modded gun in skyrim. It is going to be a golden dwarven revolver. It shoots lighting bolts that are just about an instant kill on people. The revolver has magicka from aetherius inside the cylinder, which is its ammo. This magicka will be in the form of lighting when inside the cylinder and this lighting should be jumbling around in the cylinder and the cylinder should be see-through so the lighting inside is visible. It can shoot anywhere from 6 to 12 times depending on the modder’s preference. The way to reload the gun is that it drains magicka from the user to power the cylinder inside by putting the users hand over the cylinder. I have envisioned this for some time now and think it would be a great idea! Let me know if you have any questions or would like to discuss any potential lore or ideas about this revolver. Also the picture below is an idea of what it should look like but more catered to dwarven style.
