Lake Ilinalta Manor sits on what's arguably one of the most beautiful locations in all of Skyrim, The Manor sits in the south west corner of the lake, roughly 500yds east from Half Moon Mill and directly south of The Lady Stone. The house has three defined paths off the main road 2 of which are sign posted.
The House mainly consists of three levels and a secret retreat (unknown location) only accessible through the house's internal portal system. The three main parts or levels of the house consist of the main house, basement and lower basement which are all accessible via manual entrance / exits or using the internal portal system.
The portal system is not just internal as in the Basement and Secret Retreat you have access to two more portal systems one for Markarth, Riften, Solitude, Whiterun and Windhelm while the other for Dawnstar, Falkreath, Morthal and Winterhold and they work using a scripted menu system.

*** The Portals will take you and any / all follower/s to the menu destination/s.

The mod also gives you two additional locations:

Doll's Lagoon -A Lagoon for (yeah you guessed it) mannequin dolls 4 NPC / Followers.
The dolls here though have been placed in a beautiful scenic cave with water features cascading throughout.
Access via a portal on the lake's island where 'The Lady Stone' resides
Living Quarters for your Staff and Player inc Master bedroom with ensuite, a main living quarter for your staff inc Cooking Area / Shower / Lounge / Beds.
Alchemy Station
Dedicated Potion / Poison racks
Fungal Cave
Shrine of Dibella

Folgunruud-Main location setting for 'Claudia's Challenge' (See Below)


This is my 1st 'released' Skyrim mod but it's the 5th house mod I've created using the CK and with over 1000 hours spent in the CK you can rest easy that this is not a newbie attempt. That said it's still my 1st release and while I've ironed out many issues and bugs through testing, there maybe something I've overlooked.
No copy and paste in this mod, it's been built from the ground up with many texture changes but Lore friendly as can be.

CLAUDIA'S CHALLENGE - TREASURE HUNT QUEST
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________


The house has a side quest you can attempt to achieve by using your wits and hard earned skills.
The quest is called 'Claudia's Challenge' she's the dragonborn's friend from another mod I've yet to release. She will send you on a challenge which starts via a note that will direct you to a unique nordic ruin called 'Folgunruud' which is infested with high level Draugre amongst other foes. The encounter zone created for this ruin is set to min level 30 with no max level set and with no restrictions on entry so you can attempt it at any level
The quest will show all stage entries in the Side Quest section of your Journal.

****WARNINGWARNINGWARNINGWARNINGWARNINGWARNING****

Once you get so far into Folgunruud there's no going back and the only way out is to complete the challenge which as I've stated has many high leveled draugre foe's waiting to ruin your day. I've tried completing the Folgunruud part of Claudia's Challenge with a charactor at level 4 and with TGM enabled it took an age to work through the ruin, which is a medium to large sized ruin that should give even the best high level player's a good hour of gameplay from start to finish. I will not give too much away only to say the loot at the end will be worth the effort in the form of a unique and powerful item for skyrim.

EXTRA FEATURES
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________


I've created a conjuration spell tomb which summons 'Sister Saadia' a character based on the vanilla character Saadia, she will use a plethora of powerfull spells for 60 secs in your aid. To summon her costs very little magicka and shouldn't be a problem for even low level players to cast and the book can be purchased from the Riverwood Trader.

RECOMMENDED MODS

The House is a stand alone mod which does NOT require any DLC or mod to run.
All that said I would highly recommend the following awesome mods to get the full effect intended from this mod.

Lanterns of Skyrim - Mannygt Mods (this mod lights up one of the Manor's road sign posts though not a requirment)

HQ eyes - Xenius
UNP Dimonized skinny female body - Dimon99 (or CBBE which ever) ***ADULT ONLY***

KNOWN ISSUES / POSSIBLE CONFLICTS ?
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________


This mod will only conflict with mods that use the same cell/s - refer to map location for details.

NOTE* When you activate the dolls and mannequins the game will display a 'Talk *NPC name' message as opposed to 'activate mannequin' message but otherwise they work exactly the same as the vanilla mannequins.

*** On your 1st visit to interior of the house you will most likely encounter invisible barriers which are the mannequins misbehaving, if so just leave the cell and reload it and they should have settled. On rare occassions it may take 2 - 3 loads for some of them to settle down, but after this they will remain in postion.

Both the Secret Retreat and the Doll's Lagoon do not have load doors and can only be accessed via portals, so the followers from these cells need to be dismissed from service in their
native cells or they will just get stuck where you dismiss them.

Several X-Markers have been placed at all cities and towns for the portal system to work.

5 x row boats + x markers added for 'The Water Dragon's' travel system (windhelm docks / Solitude Docks / Riften Docks (rear Honeyside) / Dawnstar Sanctuary Beach & Lake ilinalta Manor Dock)

FUTURE PLANS
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________


I will be adding some quests for both the Vampire Velva and also some Dark Brotherhood (or in the case of the Manor's lack of Male Actors) some Dark Sisterhood quests :)
I may also add a quest to purchase the house if enough request it, but as it stands the house and staff are completely free.

I will most likely release a DLC version in the not too distant future.
