Greater Samarys
by Varlothen



Greater Samarys was first released back in 2016. It was the first mod I ever uploaded and it had a lot of issues. After all this time, I've finally had enough, and set about remaking the mod into the version I always intended.

In vanilla, Samarys was a small simple tomb you could go to at the start of the game and the location of Mentor's Ring. I attempt to reconcile those two aspects in a way that feels fair and rewarding. Samarys tomb is now a noticeably larger dungeon with a few extra goodies and a more challenging location fit for an artifact of Tamriel. The dungeon can still be completed at level 1 with the right preparation, however it should now be a more engaging experience overall regardless of your level.


Requirements:
Tribunal & Bloodmoon
OAAB Data


Recommendations:
The Midnight Oil - easily the most immersive lighting mod. Highly recommended. Requires MWSE
Unto Dust - Adds a floating dust effects to tombs. Requires MWSE
Vapourmist - Adds soft interior fog. Highly Recommended. Requires MWSE
OAAB Integrations - Adds OAAB items to leveled lists for even more loot and monsters. Highly Recommended.
Necrocraft - Allows loot of ashpits and improved mechanics for undead. Requires MWSE


Compatibility: 
This mod only touches Samarys Ancestral Tomb interior so it should be compatible with anything.

OAAB - Tombs and Towers: - compatible.
Samarys Ancestral Tomb Expanded - incompatible, both mods change Samarys so use whichever one you prefer.
Rebalanced Tombs Expanded - incompatible, though you can use both mods by deleting Samarys Ancestral Tomb from Tombs Expanded with TESAME.
The Morrowind Randomizer - compatible.
Swapping Samarys and Addamasartus - compatible.
