cursed hold

Added 8 followers, a small new world space, an underground community, a player residence with a crafting area, and simple quests. Version 3.0 fixes some project ownership issues.

Somewhere, on the northern coast of Skyrim in the Ghost Sea, there is a small island. No map contains its location, few people know about it and even fewer try to find it. An island cursed with eternal snow and condemned guards. It is whispered that if anyone finds the island and survives the Trials of the Condemned, they will find shelter and help when they need it. So does the legend that the curse remains.

What's in the mod?

A new world space. This is my first attempt at a new world space. It's not big, just a small island, but enough for my feet to create new worlds in CK.

A short mission to get you there. Another one for me was a courier mission. Very short, but another learning experience. Go to the first town and the courier should find you.

There are players and other things in the underground area. Yes, I'm being vague on purpose ;)

New NPC and 8 fans.

A book in the player's homepage that tells the backstory while raising some questions. I plan to expand this mod as I develop my skills in CK.

A new spell to learn.

A craft area but you have to look for it.

fan -

Telrael - A wood elf who escaped Morrowind with her sister Kirien for unknown reasons.

Kirien- Telrael's sister also escaped Morrowind with Telrael.

Natasha - Brittany, was born on the island where her parents were merchants. A skilled warrior seeking adventure.

Katiisa - a Redguard and outcast Alik'r.

Morgar - An orc warrior expelled from her stronghold for refusing to arrange a marriage.

Lionel - A former Imperial soldier who sought asylum after the war but still missed out on adventure.

Do'ashi - Tired of being a Khajiit merchant, he heard the cursed Keep's whispers and answered the challenge.

Bird - An aspiring dark elf mage trying to gain flight had an "unlucky" spell with an unexpected result.

What's not in the mod-

Trophies show that I haven't learned how yet.

Mannequins - no, don't like bugs at all.

Chests related to crafting stations - didn't think of that either.

You also want to build up your lockdown skills.

**Go to the nearest town to start.

**All minion armors are vanilla, I used armor replacer YMMV.

**No body mesh or textures included, just hair. Tested with UNP, UNPB and vanilla without any issues. The appearance of the followers may vary depending on which beatification mods you use. For screenshots I use the following -

Sin Xtreme Realism ENB

UNP Women's Body Update

Leyenda skin

Somewhere, off the northern coast of Skyrim in the Sea of Ghosts, lies a small island. No map contains it's location, few know of it and even fewer attempt to find it. An island cursed to eternal snow and guarded by The Condemned. Whispers say that should one find the island and survive the trial of The Condemned, they will find sanctuary should they want it and aid should they need it. So goes the legend of The Cursed Keep.

What's in the mod?

A new world space. This is my first attempt at a new world space. It's not huge, just a small island, but enough to get my feet wet in CK creating new worlds.

A short quest to get you there. Another 1st for me, a courier quest. Very short, but another learning experience. Go to the 1st town and the courier should find you. …
