About this mod

Like my other mods, this one makes use of the worldspace behind the Skyrim border and truly expands the game, offering you 2 Nordic towns, south of Falkreath hold and northeast of Windhelm, two Reachmen settlements South of the Reach, a Redguard Principality called Morreath, across the border in Hammerfell and a few other new locations as well.

Warning: it seems that players who have downloaded this mod, have issues with the quest you receive from the
Forsworn in Sukarnee (when you got imprisoned) in the added Forsworn Territory. I
received complains of players about that after the quest, they don't
get their belongings back.
Although I tested it myself many times and it worked, since the door from the room with your belongings is
activated when you open the exitdoor of the cave, it somehow does not
always seem to work by everybody.

I don't know how to solve this issue as it works fine in my gameplay, so therefore this warning. And always save your game before trying out a mod. My mod is no exception. My apologies to the players who had problems with this issue!

EDIT: tested it a couple of times again and I got my gear back. Quest seems to work fine.



~ WELCOME TO FOLKSTEAD, VROSTHEIM AND THE PRINCIPALITY OF MORREATH (a small Hammerfell DLC) ~




~ Map of added areas. This image shows everything except a small part of Cyrodiil and the town Vrostheim which is located east of Windhelm ~

Important: This mod doesn't require any DLC, but you must unlock the Skyrim borders.

~ Huge chunk of landscaped Land behind the Skyrim Border ~

~ In Skyrim: Two new Nordic Towns with NPC's, and a fully voiced follower ~
~ In Hammerfell: A Redguard Principality Morreath with towns, fully functioning with NPC's ~
~ A House for the Player in Morreath, Hammerfell ~
~ Reach area expanded with two Reachmen settlements ~
~Four Quests and a mountain passage ~
~ AS-LAL Extension to start a new life here (by Jknjb) ~
~ Much More ~


With this mod, the territory of the Skyrim province itself is expanded; giving Skyrim an extra island (Vrostheim) and the border of Falkreath hold is pushed slightly to the south, where Folkstead is situated.

Also downloadable from this site: Alternate Start Extension Folkstead gives you the opportunity to start a new life with your character in one of these locations! Credits go to Arthmoor, jknjb and Izzik!

FOLKSTEAD (SKYRIM)_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________



~ Folkstead, south of Falkreath, just follow the signs ~

This mod let you play in a new Nordic town in Skyrim, called Folkstead.
This mountainlocked town lies near Hammerfell, south of Falkreath hold, which has a more temperate climate; the ivy is more green, a different type of tree and harvestable flower can be found.
Once a disputed town, Folkstead now sits firmly under Skyrim's control and is part of Falkreath's hold. Talk to Red (the Redguard) and you'll be on a quest, traveling to a few other new locations, all near or behind the Skyrim borders. It's worth the trouble to talk with other NPC's too. Saadia for example, a Redguard woman, sells her Green Dragon beer to the inns of Falkreath and Riften. And Hjorlf might tell you something about the history of Folkstead. And this town has his local crazy lad: Helmut.

From Folkstead, you can pass the Cyrodiil border and visit a bordertown and a fort.

How to go to Folkstead: Travel from Falkreath to the Skyrim/Hammerfell border. Before the border, you'll see a path heading to the south, to a cave. This is the Folkpassage, heading to this town.

VROSTHEIM (SKYRIM)_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

You can travel to a small fishing town, called Vrostheim, northeast of Windhelm, in a freezing cold area, close to the border of Morrowind. In this, perhaps most isolated town of Skyrim, Captain Redbeard (because he has a red beard) discoverd Vrostheims trade is in trouble and needs Dragonborn to help him. Beside some fishermen, there is a Khajiit dealer living there, giving you the best skooma. And there is an ancient holy place too, where you can pray.

How to go to Vrostheim: Travel from Windhelm to the northeast. You have to swim a little but that's not a problem for Dragonborn.

REACH AREA EXPANDED TO THE SOUTH(UNDISPUTED)_________________________________________________________________________________

South of the Skyrim's province The Reach, two Reachmen settlements are located. These Reachmen are biding their time to reclaim Markarth, but it seems like this will take at least a couple of years, since the Reachmen are not only weakened since the Markarth Incident, but also too devided and decentralized.

Beside one small quest, there is no huge quest involved with these Reachmen. But you can walk, talk, trade, rest and make friends with them. Even joining them and live there if you want. The area is safe, you only have to get rid of a dangerous Black Dragon, breathing lightning. Roaargghh!

PRINCIPALITY OF MORREATH (HAMMERFELL)__________________________________________________________________________________________

Last, but not least: this mod offers you a Redguard Principality; Morreath, also known as Morkreath, just across the border in Hammerfell! It's a small principality, perhaps the size of 1/2 hold. The capital is Morreath, with it's brownred walls. But there is also a small town and a few farms scattered around in one of the coldest areas in Hammerfell. Morreath is located in a cold, mountainous area. Only the southern part is not snow covered throughout the year and usable for agriculture. Lately, refugees from Skyrim are seeking asylum in Morreath, who fled the civil war.

In the capital of Morreath, a trader is resting in it's inn; a wolf in sheepsclothing. He is not nice after all and seems to be a member of a group of bandits, hiding near Morreath. You will be greatly rewarded, after you got rid of the bandits, with a small house in Hammerfell! So, if you ever wanted to live in Hammerfell, this is the mod!

How to go to Morreath: Cross the Skyrim/Hammerfell border and just follow the path to the west. You'll first pass a small border town. And after 1 minute walk, follow the signs and turn right. You can not miss it.

Team Beyond Skyrim creates Hammerfell at this moment, a team which I support fully, work with- and am part of. This principality of Morreath I created is not directly linked with- and part of Beyond Skyrim's Hammerfell, nor have I used their assets.

Creaturelist

- The TES II Spider is back! The Iliac Bay spider, mostly found in small groups, has the ability to paralyze it's victim and then eat it alive.
- The Black Dragon, breaths lighting and drains your life and magic. A couple of these can be found in mainly cold areas of the Skyrim border.
- The Woolly Rhino, can be found in cold mountainous areas, bordering Hammerfell and Cyrodill.
- A bigger cousin of the slaughter fish, which can be found in the Sea of Ghosts. This blue colored monster inflicts a lot of damage by it's bite and has the ability to electrocute you. Suddenly the Sea of Ghosts is more dangerous.
- Skeleton Guardian: stronger skeleton with armor, tough enemy for low level players. Can be found everywhere.

HOW TO UNLOCK THE BORDERS:____________________________________________________________________________________________________

You have to edit the file Skyrim.ini. There are two locations where you can find this file. You should not
have the one in your Skyrim data folder, where you put the mods for
example, but the one in your General folder (I think it is: User/My
Documents/My Games/Skyrim).
If you found the Skyrim.ini file, type: bBorderRegionsEnabled=0 in the section [General]. That should work.
