Introducing an all-new custom cursor, designed specifically for Realms of Asuron: Nordania.
Expect more changes like this in the future. The user interface is arguably the most intimate part of any gameplay experience, and so, to me, it's very important to keep RoA's interface unique in order to preserve immersion and keep The Elder Scrolls and Realms of Asuron feeling more like totally separate universes. One of my longer-term objectives is to establish a complete and 100% unique UI design for the mod. I want people to play this and feel like they are in Asuron, not Tamriel, and it's little things like this that will help me achieve that goal. The in-game calendar is another example of a UI renovation, and, if some of you may recall, I uploaded a screenshot from one of my earlier prototypes which proved that I was able to do that.
Also, I refuse to take credit for the cursor artwork here. I did spend some time running this through a filetype converter and formatting it in Gimp for in-game compatibility, but the artwork for the cursor itself was a free resource from opengameart.org. Just wanted to clear that up!

...it reminds me of a knight-themed design I had installed on my old computer (WinXP) several years ago. Also in that design the cursor was a glove.
