Authors note - 


UPDATE- 1.0 BETA is now up, Please help me by reporting any bugs or issues which i can fix. Testers would be greatly appreciated


What began as adding a few extra houses somehow became a fully blown city, a lore expansion, and a sort of obsession xD
This Mod transforms Dawnstar into a Real city with it's own problems, perks, agendas, characters and factions. 

FEATURES: 
34 new NPCs of all races, many with unique fully voiced dialogue, quests and a story to tell.
2 new lore friendly books - Look for wanderer's guide to dawnstar in the Bloated Float and East empire Journal in the EE office. For a night to remember worthy of sanguine himself, look for a dirty looking drink in the Hagraven's Roost
A true harbor with newly added boats, cranes, shipping warehouses, taverns and stalls.
A Temple devoted to Zenithar and an impoverished district surrounding it.
A Rich district where the town's few wealthy people live.
For those of you who played Oblivion, there is a nice addition from the imperial city here where a quest begins....
QUESTS.

Look for:
A lazy guardsman,
A drunken bard,
A free drink
A snooty innkeeper,
A cheery horker butcher,
A tyrannical fishery Owner
A priest of Zenithar (ive heard several players report getting stuck on this quest at a certain point, you'll all probably know it when you get there but without giving any spoilers my hint is to look for that certain NPC's house to find answers there) 
A ship builder,
A concerned sister

Quest lovers please note that i have deliberately chosen not to add quest markers for certain quest objectives for immersion purposes, and to increase the sense of player achievement and reward, use those great brains of yours! For those who are stuck, check your quest logs, often there will be a subtle hint!
As well as a city, this mod is a story of desperate people living their lives in a town ruled by warring factions of gangs fighting over the riches Dawnstar has to offer. These are The Reavers, The Smugglers, and an old and powerful family. for the moment, they tolerate each other out of necessity in a fragile truce.

WARNING: This is not an official or professional DLC for Skyrim that you have paid your hard earned money for. It is an entirely free and voluntarily made piece of content that has been created with extremely limited time that is to be shared with whoever wants it, please enjoy for what it is, at whatever peril or disappointment you may risk upon yourself
Do not start Dawnguard DLC storyline in Dawnstar using this mod, there will be a vampire attack which kills many of the quest giver NPCs and general NPCs around town.  you can start the quest in any other of the hold capitals 


Compatibility:
100 percent compatible with all vanilla and dlc content
Interesting NPCs
all DB sanctuary redux's

Incompatible with Bring out your Dead

Unfortuntately, this mod is not follower friendly, but has been designed to be more enjoyed alone as a player, especially the quests. Leave your companion in the Windpeak inn while you explore. They probably would prefer to give this Dawnstar a wide berth...
