About this mod
This is an overhaul of the Addamasartus cave near Seyda Neen.

Translations
- Mandarin
- More details overall. Including Tamriel Data items.
- Fixed all placement errors I could find - floating cups, bleeding items, caspers etc.
- Pathgrid is carefully adjusted. I made sure that every NPC can traverse any spot in the dungeon too (both OpenMW and vanilla).
- The slave room didn't fit into the exterior. So, in order to fix this, I had to place this room deeper and create a small corridor leading to it. Otherwise, it sticks out from the surface of the meadow near Seyda Neen. Consequently, the slave room turned out to be a pit. And the only workable descent to the pit with the slaves I found was plank steps. I made sure that they are traversable for NPCs on both engines.
- There are now small holes for underwater currents in the flooded areas.
- Added more flora and mushrooms around the place.
- There's a unique slaughterfish now waiting for you. It's a bit weaker than the regular ones of its size. But it has unique loot inside.
- I tried to make the descends leading to the main storage room a bit easier for smugglers to haul their cargo. So, there's a small crane now, and a wooden platform instead of a ramshackle ladder.
- In general, it's still a low-level dungeon. And there's still some features I would like to add in future. But for now, enjoy it if you like it.
- Please, report any bug you find to me - I am eager to fix them.
New in 1.2 (no spoilers):
- I reversed the edited enemies to their originals.
- You can make the female enemies to surrender now.
- Did some construction upgrades to the platform in the second chamber.
- Polished pathgrid.
- Adjusted light markers.
New in 1.3 (no spoilers):
- Replaced the firepit in the first room with a dimmer version to remove greenlighting.
- Adjusted rock statics and added a rock with mushrooms on the wall in the first room.
- Added journal updates and filters to the NPC interactions.
- Added a new unique book item.
- Added 4 new dialogue topics to Sellus Gravius that allow you to give him moon sugar and skooma for compensation. Might be a good way for your lawful characters to dispose of narcotics when you find them.
Secrets (spoilers):
- There is a notebook with valuable information hidden under the hammock pillow that you can sell to Sellus Gravius.
- If you kill Melar Baram, calm the female smugglers, and improve their disposition to 60, they will surrender and ask you to bring them to Seyda Neen authorities. Note that it's not easy (they may start fighting each other, which is not a bug). But you will be rewarded for this.
- There is a levitation amulet near a skull in the fish chamber. You can use it to make your followers levitate for 5 seconds. In general, it's a good way to deal with Morrowind companions pathfinding.
- The rat now has a nest hidden in a secret chamber that's impossible to access for a normal-sized player-character. But if you use the Shrink Spell mod (OpenMW) or the Stray Cat (MWSE) mod, you can access the nest and its unique loot.
Future ideas:
- Possibly, add more dialogue and quests to all of the NPCs inside.
- Add some more characteristics and town NPC reactions to your activity in Addamasartus.
- Create a new wave of (hostile) inhabitants for the cave sometime after you clear the initial baddies.
Mod incompatibilities:
- Naturally, it's probably incompatible with other overhauls of the dungeon.
- If you use my Tamriel Rebuilt Introduction Quest, there is an alternative esp of that quest on the mod page that adjusts the placement of new items/NPCs in the overhauled cave.
