About this mod

A small castle next to the Solitude Sawmill, with dungeon to acquire ownership.

Permissions and credits


Welcome to Kainalten Keep, a player home! You will find it located next to the Solitude Sawmill right on the Karth river.
I really liked my design for the Darkwater Keep mod, so I kept it overall and made small modifications to make it adoption-friendly.

This Keep has been made for those that want wealth, but not opulence. A knight or merchant, dawnguard or vampire, may call this place home. It's my new base of operations against the Thalmor but close the the heart of the Empire in Skyrim.

Lore-wise, an old Thane had been accused of treason and sent to life imprisonment in Starfall Cave. The Dawnguard had been tasked to keep watch, and maintain the Thane's estate until a new lord had been appointed. The keep itself was built to defend the Solitude Docks and other outposts from threats along the river. The Thane is still alive, as a vampire, and paces, awaiting his chance to be released and holds with him a key to the keep.

Thank you for downloading, I hope you enjoy!

The file comes with:
- 2 mannequins, several weapon racks, and a lot of storage for a small space.
- 5 beds + master bed for followers and/or children.
- Hearthfire amenities, such as an oven.
- Functional shower in the bathroom.
- Cleaned with TESVEdit.
- Multiple Adoption mod friendly, navmeshed with many markers.
- Alchemy and Enchanting workstations inside, and an anvil and weapon/armor furnishings outdoors.
- Large main hall and round table for your followers and family, with a cozy separate master bedroom.
- Great view of the Solitude Bay, and the tower offers a 360 view of the region.
- A new cave to explore, including a high-level boss vampire (The entrance is a well between buildings at the Solitude Sawmill).
- The mill right outside the keep is a nice place for family and followers, with a lot of food and flora. Also nice if you like hard work.

Dungeon Spoiler if you are having difficulty: The cave with the house key is in a well-door by the fence near the sawmill house and road. To get behind the locked door in the cave, there is a pressure plate puzzle; all pressure plates must have an item dropped on them, then the one on the door must be shot at.

Installation:
- One .esp file with a Mesh and Texture folder to be placed in your Skyrim > Data folder.
Thank you Darkrider for these wall painting resources!

Incompatabilities:
- Anything modifying the Solitude Sawmill area might have issues.

(Not only the Nexus, but my CK have been a tad glitchy. Let me know if you have any issues.)
