Description
===========
Small but fully equipped Dragonborn Assassin home.


Details
=======
Small, but fully equipped, re-design of ElDiabs Dragon Reach Assassin Hideout.

Thanks:
First off... Proper thanks are in order to Eldiabs. He's the Master artisan who created the DragonReach Hideout mod in the first place... and then (either through a bout of temporary insanity, or just out of morbid curiosity) he allowed me to litter his masterpiece with a bunch of blood, skulls and dragons.

Why:
I was poking around the Nexus for something that fit my idea of where a Dragonborn who has a taste for the macabre might hang his/her dagger belt, and ran across ElDiabs DragonReach Hideout (Assasin Version) which hit pretty close to the mark. However... the repressed assassin in me wanted a little more Sithis, and a lot more skulls, fire, and DRAGONS! So I cracked open the Creation Kit and got started...
This redesign is made purely to my personal tastes. I like small houses that have lots of storage, bookcases, manequins, and a creepy atmosphere. Not a big fan of storing all of my crap in a 5 story mansion with 13 different loading cells and 67 rooms of chests, plaques, and manequins where I spend 45 minutes trying to find my car keys.

Here's what I ended up with:
Rooms: (Single Cell for efficiency)

Blacksmithing Cave -- contains everything you need to create whatever tools of the trade your blackened heart desires.
- Anvil
- Leather Tanning
- Armor Table
- Grinding Wheel
- Smelting Oven

Main Room -- Spacious, and comfortable semi-separated alcoves for plotting your next contract.
- 3 Manequins
- Weapon Racks with 23 Slots
- 6 Single Weapon display Plaques
- 3 Dual Weapon/Shield combo plaques
- Enchanting Table with Labeled Soul Stone boxes and two chests for disenchanting and blank storage
- Alchemy Table with labeled potion and poison ingredient satchels
- 4 Unlabeled Chests
- 5 Unlabeled "Small" Safes
- 1 Lockbox
- 4 Floor to Ceiling Bookshelves to hold up to 176 books (Still working out the collision boxes... but they DO work)
- Designer Stone Bed
- Throne for the Night Mother's Listener
- 2 Blessing Statues

Church Of Sithis-- Trophy room / Altar to the one who brought us all here in the first place.
- 18 Single Weapon Plaques (Plus one on the Altar)
- 18'ish Weapon Display racks
- 4 more Manequins
- 2 Unlabeled Chests & 1 Lockbox
- Altar (Doesn't really do anything yet... next update when I can work it out)


Future update:
Bookshelves -- These things are the bane of life... If I ever get them working 100% naturally I'll quit my job and do this professionally.
Teleport Station -- Eventually in the Dragon Alcove. Still working on this one... don't hold your breath.
Proper Altar -- Current one is pretty cheesy.... I want something with more blood and skulls that has some cool animations or something. Not sure what direction this will go.


=================
Some Great Mods that compliment the Assassin's hideout:
Unlimited Bookshelves: Put just about anything into a bookshelf without cursing Havok to the nine hells.

Known Issues or Bugs
====================
1. A couple of the bookshelves collision boxes are a little quirky. Nothing mechanically wrong with them that I've found, but some of the books don't lie down the way gravity intended them to.

History
=======

1.0, 2012/03/30 - Added Weapon racks, Dragons, Fire pits, misc decorations
1.1, 2012/04/10 - Fixed most of the Bookshelf problems (couple left), added some skull decorations

Bethesda: Screw you for creating the gaming masterpiece that has chewed through hundreds of hours of my life. Skyrim has eaten my soul.

Licensing/Legal
===============
If you like my redesign of ElDiab's hard work, please direct all usage requests in his direction. I am not the owner of the DragonsReach Hideout... therefore asking me for permission to use the hideout would be a waste of both of our time. If ElDiabs has granted you permission to use his mod for any reason, feel free to assume that his permission covers this mod as well. Let me know if you want, or don't... I don't particularly mind.
