And
Fuz Ro D-oh - Silent Voice  by shadeMe
(Highly recommended. Almost as important as necessary for some quest dialogues to go smoothly. )


Works best in New Games.



 Compatible with "Elisif" mods.
Get her a new, enriched, noble life. With Royal Blue Palace!







Background



It's been almost a year since I started playing Skyrim.
Yes, this is my first Mod and the project I've always wanted to accomplish ever since I first stepped into
the Blue Palace in Solitude.

It didn't take me too long to realize that Blue Palace was full of problems...even if you didn't pay much attention to it, one thing certain for anyone who played Skyrim is that Blue Palace is too...small!!

I call it "One-room Palace"... because that's what it is! When you enter there's the entrance hall, and then the stairs to the Throne room right ahead, then you turn left to see the High-queen's private room just over there, and  also the steward's tiiiiiiiny bedroom is right next to it, etc...
It's obvious that there are no noble livings going on in that tiny space.


The place I would like to call "Palace" on the other hand, is like when you stand there everything about that place makes you feel so...nervous, and honoured...the height of the ceiling and the guards troops
and the expensive-looking carpets and all the coloured stone bricks...everything you see makes you realize that you're invited to this historical building and into the society of the nobles.


This mod had been made under the spirit of a...resurrection, to give those highest ranks of people in Skyrim a little more of a life that they deserve.
Therefore this Palace is not made for a Player to reside at. Technically you may use their beds after finishing some of their quests but you'd find it so inconvenient to actually live there in so many ways.


If you would like to own a castle or a palace like the ones in your dreams then you already have
the best castle mods for you out there you know! In fact I myself am a big fan of those castle mods, but I've found the fact that the Dragonborn gets a big castle while Elisif lives in her humble "palace"...unfair,
so if you've ever felt the similar way then this mod may be for you!



 


About the New Rooms 

Beware that some rooms (like the Jarl's Chamber) aren't made to match the exterior.

Most of the newly-added rooms are private spaces, meaning trespassing there will make them very angry.
However, once you've finished the quest "A Man Who Cried the Wolf" in which you're going to kill the necromancers in Wolfskull Cave, you will earn the court's trust and be granted to enter these rooms freely.

The Parlour is where the member of the court will take a break and dine. At 3:00pm they will travel to the Parlour to eat for early dinner.

Bath hall in the Stewards Chamber is for Falk, Bolgeir and Sybille. They take a bath once a day. When they do, they will undress their clothes and put them into the baskets near the bath hall. You may indeed steal their clothes during their bath time.


Elisif doesn't like to discuss the sensitive matter regarding with Talos worship so she will now ask you to come over to Elisif's private room to give you Torygg's Warhorn.







The Re-obtainable Jagged Crown 


If you sided with the Imperial Legion on the civil war quest line, General Tullius would give 
the Jagged Crown to Elisif the Fair. But what has Elisif done with the bone crown?
Well, she made a decision to keep it safe from the hands of the rebels.

Where she's hidden it is a mystery...but the rumour is the last High-King Torygg had his own secret vault where he was keeping all of his treasure, and he was shearing this great secret with his beloved wife too.
If one should wish to acquire the crown, he'd first have to find this secret treasury room
somewhere in Blue Palace. 



(...and more treasure to be found!)

Palace is now full of things for the taking! 
There are even the unique treasure including 2 jeweled daggers and 1 jeweled greatsword kept somewhere.




(Note)

・If you're planning to fight for the Stormcloaks or for other reasons you don't wish to see the Jagged Crown in the Palace, there is a version without adding the Jagged Crown.
・In Vanilla Skyrim, the Jagged Crown does not have a tempering recipe. So I've added one so you can temper the Crown at a work bench if you have the Steel Smithing Perk.
・Technically, if you choose to install the version with the crown you DON'T have to finish the relevant 
civil war quest to be able to re-obtain it at the palace. 
The crown in the palace is not the same item used in the civil war quest, strictly speaking, so it's stored inside the palace right from the moment you start the game with my mod installed. 

I could've added some scripts so that the crown would appear only if you finished that quest or something like that, but for now I recommend you to finish the Jagged Crown quest before you start exploring the Palace.
Don't worry, the Crown is not located at the entrance hall! 



After finishing the Sheogorath's quest "The Mind of Madness", you can go talk to either Elisif or Falk about what happened inside the Pelagius Wing and how it's became a "safe place" free from the daedric affection.

You must either convince Falk to restore the Wing taking a long conversation (almost a fight, actually.lol)
or you may just talk to Elisif who simply shows you a gratitude and grants you a permission to give them
your opinion about the restoring plans.
You can advice them to make a guest hall insude the Pelagius Wing, and after the 7 days of refurnishing is completed, the brand-new "Pelagius Hotel" will be opened!


Features & benefits of opening the Pelagius Hotel :


・A completely functional inn where you can stay at any time.
・For your efforts of recovering the Wing, you are granted to stay at the most expensive "Pelagius Suite" .
・A new beverage only served here at the Hotel!
・At first you'd find merely a couple of guests but as the days and the weeks are passing after
the opening of the Hotel, more and more travellers would come to stay!

There are up to 14 new guests NPCs and many of them are merchants, and most of them will actively go out to the city, to the Solitude dock area and to Bards College Festival to make the city look more lively.









(Incompatibility)

NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE ONES WITH ELISIF THE DEAD OR ELISIF THE DRAGONBORN WIFE.

Two major lighting mods, Enhanced Light and FX and Realistic Lighting Overhaul will cause a big issue in my Blue Palace. You see floating objects, disappearing objects etc. then they're from the lighting mod you've installed.

Solitude - Capital Edition by GrandDukeAdense is a great, great Solitude Overhaul mod but it's so extensive that it also touches Blue Palace, so I'm afraid it's not compatible unless you make some edits.

Other than that, anything that changes the interior design of Blue Palace including Pelagius Wing
 or any of the NPCs in Blue Palace should not be compatible.



(Compatible and recommended mods)

Some retextures, armours, circlets and so on from the other mods are certainly used in many of my screenshots and they're not included in my work.


Better-looking Blue Palace Courtyard or Improved Blue Palace Courtyard
A beautiful courtyard mod which has 2 different mod pages but from the same author. I did not touch the Courtyard at all, and the only reason I did not do that is that there's already a mod which does it quite beautifully.
I recommend you to use it alongside with my mod. During the installation you'll be asked whether or not if you use the courtyard mod. Answer "yes" if you do.

Interesting NPCs users have the version of my mod to use with it, it allows some NPCs and the quest to work properly in my new Blue Palace settings. Nythriel, a high-elf NPC who lives in Blue Palace,
now has her own bedroom designed and dedicated for her.

Inconsequential NPCs users have a file to go with it too!

Solitude Towers Flags by iLita adds flags on the top of the towers and the palace. Highly recommended.

Noblesses Oblige by jacknifelee has a file to replace the Jarl's dress and the fine clothes with the new, more beautifully decorated ones. You may use it with my my mod to dress up Elisif and Falk without any problems.

Lind's Court Wizard Robes - Blue Robes Texture Replacer by Lind001 is a retexture for the blue robes
and Sybille will look great in it.

A city overhaul mod for Solitude is definitely a great addition, and I highly recommend you to use your favourite one as well as your choice of the expansion mod for the dock area.
Solitude is my favourite city in Skyrim and this Blue Palace mod is my approach to enhance its attractiveness.

As for the the retexture mods, you'd want to use the one for the Solitude city
and also the noble furniture to make the palace look beautiful.
Just so you know, Ultimate Solitude by grVulture is my favourite Solitude retexture mod by far.
