INTRODUCTION
Arktwend is a German TC (Total Conversion) for the Morrowind engine by SureAI. Some time after Arktwend was finished, Golden Thief did an English translation. This project is a continuation of those efforts.
About Arktwend
The game takes place in a land called Arktwend. The size of the landmass is around 30 square kilometers, making it larger than Morrowind. The player traverses idyllic forests, birds are flying through the air, animals such as sheep, deer, rabbits, wild boars and wolves cavort on the ground and fish swim underwater. Leaves fall from trees, grass and grain sway in the wind.
Stormwend, the largest city in the game, is about the size of Vivec. A large part of the game takes place in Stormwend, which is the intellectual and cultural center of Arktwend. There are many guilds you can join: the City Guards, the Clerics, the Gladiators, the Brotherhood or the Thieves Guild. And rumor has it that somewhere in the woods of Arktwend there still is a guild of Hunters that has kept hidden, a group of rough boys.
The player can join each of these guilds and receive quests from them. In Stormwend itself resides Kanzler Brutus, a power-crazed tyrant. He has withdrawn into the big tower on the outskirts of the city, where the fate of the whole Arktwend will be decided. Furthermore, there are small villages and castles throughout the country in which the player can do side quests.
The player begins his adventure in a monastery where he grew up, blissfully ignorant of the faroff land of Arktwend. Outside the monastery the whole wide world awaits him. But strange things are happening in Arktwend. Putrefying revenants roam the frontier and long-forgotten dark forces seek a return to power. The Age of Heroes has begun!
