First, I would like to remind everyone that this is only the BETA of my mod, so it is nowhere near finished. This means that many things have not yet been given a storyline or might not even exist...

!!!!!!! LAST UPDATE: Coming Soon (7/6/10) !!!!!!!!!


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
COMMENT ABOUT HOW YOU THINK OF THE MOD SO FAR

This mod adds a huge island chain near Tamriel (I like to believe its south west of Highrock if anyone cares) that was never actually conquered by the Reman empire. In this island chain, there will be factions to join, rebellions to crush, weapons to find and wield, and land to be won.




~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
REQUIREMENTS:
1. Oblivion
2. The Shivering Isles.
3. Nothing else. If you see an item that does NOT have a texture (It's all purple), or doesn't have a mesh (It is a big !) then please contact me. I probably forgot something.




~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This beta CURRENTLY includes:
*FIVE Islands
*SEVEN quests
New magic
*Custom Magic
New weapons and armor
*Custom Armor
Followers
Caves, castles, cities, forests, volcanoes
3 joinable factions.
many other small details.
*updated in last update




~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
HOW TO GET THERE:
go to anvil castle, (right across from the bridge to the castle is the boat.) and talk to the orc standing outside. He will talk about the king and start your quest.
Talk to him again.
now go below deck on the ship he's on, and take a right. The bed will let you travel to the Emerald Isle.




~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
HOW TO INSTALL:

1.Unzip the file.
2.Navigate to the 'Data' Folder.
3.Take EVERYTHING in the 'data' folder and put that in the oblivion data folder. I have a read-me if you don't know where that is.
4.check off oblivion in your data files when you launch oblivion.
5.have a party.




~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PERSONAL THANKS:
Mods that I've borrowed from:
Tegeal's Extra Robes.
Pale Rider's Hats.
TT-Equipable Beards.
Gabrielles Leather Hats.
Lost Spires.



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
KNOWN CONFLICTS:
Currently, only one mod will conflict with The Emerald Isle. If you find a conflict, please report it immediately. I personally have 26 mods running with The Emerald Isle installed, and have no conflicts. This is because The Emerald Isle very rarely changes anything put in vanilla oblivion (Oblivion with no mods). In fact, I'm pretty sure the only object I actually put into the Tamriel Worldspace is the boat you go to the Islands on.

1. The Unofficial Oblivion Patch
2.

RECENT NEWS:
7/1/10
I got a new computer, and I've decided to start working on the Emerald Isle again. Let's do this :)
6/8/08
Great News. I've been shirking my duties in a way. But I've gotten back on track and I have just finished my first quest for Captain Smitty, (Snake-Head Island). I have also added TWO new custom textured weapons, which will have a misc quest added to them soon enough (Learn of their interesting origins). I'm making another misc quest as well. It will involve one of the new shopkeepers I've added to the Emerald City. You will be suprised when you see the new Emerald City. It has shops, incoming sailors, and etc. I'm trying to make it look more like a center of trade, and not just a boring city.
3/18/08
Update-wise, not much. I've created a small misc quest in the emerald city, dealing with those two fishermen near the docks. Also, i've cleaned up the forest behind Na Maister's castle, added the 3 missing houses in Heben, and finished the one mssing house in Kronost. As Soon as I'm done this, I'll begin work on the final island before release, Phaunos.

3/16/08
I Put up new pictures! I thought, with all the new additions, there should be some photographic proof. Enjoy. ALSO, two new misc quests have been added. Go to Heben for one of them.

3/15/08
I'm uploading a finished version of the Outer Isles. This also has the first Emerald Isle quest redone, most bugs fixed, and the ability to travel with captain smitty. (Use your bed on the leech)

2/11/08
I added the Outer Isles (Gaiana). It has a partially completed quest (sorry, almost done) and a huge cavernous system under the island.
I really love this new island, and when I'm done, Heben will have a full marketplace, the Dwarven catacombs will be functional, and Kronost will be beautiful...er.

1/13/08
I've begun work on a new island called Gaiana. It has two cities, Kronost, and another I havent thought of a name for. It also has the potential for some long storylines which I am planning.

11/26/07
my comptuer deleted Apollo's school of magic. This means that all my 'harry potter' kind of stuff is gone.
I didn't really like where it was going anyways, so this might actually be a good thing.
I've begun work on quests and making people in the Isles say original stuff, not just 'hail' and ect.
(you know, like welcome to ____)

also i removed THE EMERALD ISLE 0-7, since it was not actually an updated version. Sorry to the 23 who downloaded it lol.

and:
i have removed any need for other esps, since many people didnt like that.
Hope your happy.
