Archmage retreats

A player's home on an island near Winterhold, available when you become the Archmage. Purchase the house and find the Kagrenac Orb in its laboratory. It's an ancient artifact that can transform certain rare ingredients into permanent properties.

Archmage's Retreat and Arcane Observatory

I was disappointed with the living quarters after becoming the new Archmage, so in my last run I did something more fitting for my character, a new player home in the style of the Archmage Quarters, but in a remote location. This mod does not replace or edit existing Archmage factions in any way! It just tries to provide options for those who are not satisfied with vanilla quarters.

Require

• Vanilla Skyrim SE
• Become a Archmage
• Visit Reynand Werrick at the Arcanaeum in Winterhold
• Pay 13,000 Septims to purchase

The role given by the sphere allows you to view the status of all players in a convenient pop-up window

Homecoming Spell

Instantly teleport to the interior of the Archmage's retreat from anywhere in Skyrim

dimmable

Retreat brightness can be adjusted individually in-game to accommodate darker ENB and "recolor" settings

multiple rooms

helpful

A backstory with books and notes makes Retreat blend seamlessly into the Skyrim narrative and history.

Safe and compatible

Make only a few minor edits to existing cells. Everything is made from scratch (not a duplication of existing units). Should not conflict with anything.
