About this image
Greetings, all! I have been hard at work these past couple days on Areth, specifically in designing an area for players to first spawn into the world.
I understand that this is a feature many followers of the project have been wanting for some time now. In the past, players were required to type in a console command in order to travel to the world. Yet this will be the first build to feature a means of traveling to the game world by simply activating a teleporter. The destination (part of which may be seen in the image above) has been carefully designed in order to preserve immersion. At the moment, it is a functioning transport system without any background story, yet I am hoping to one day tie it in with a brief questline 'summoning' you to Areth.
For this area, I was chiefly inspired by the player hub present in the game Overlord, which saw the player spawning into a cave below a ruined tower that opened up into the rest of the world. Once this area is finished, I'm hoping to publicly release the first update in over a year! (wow) That said, I am very much looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the mod's latest appearance once it releases. This is, after all, only the beginning.

I hope that this version comes with bsa or esm.
At the moment, I am building Areth with 100% existing Oblivion and Shivering Isles assets, so no need to manage any loose files at all, unlike in the past I do not wish to repeat my mistakes.
I think that, in my opinion, vanilla resources alone can build a wonderful world.
However, in the future, this may change if the mod proves popular enough to get outside help Yet my primary tasks, I have decided, will be in storytelling and worldbuilding. This, I have promised myself. I will leave the rest to others, should they join me.
