NOTICE
======
ONLY INSTALL 1.1 AND THE 1.11 PATCH. You do not need the 1.0 file, as 1.1 contains the same thing.
If anyone is having any sort of trouble with the mod at all, especially relating to your map being changed, please let me know. As far as I know, everything I'd like to change is a non-issue. I'll be releasing a very small patch shortly, but it will not fix the things that might be an issue. Thanks for all the input both here and on ESF, without you guys this mod wouldn't be quite what it is today. :D
Description

Embark on a quest that takes you to the ruins of Aranseli in Valenwood to unearth a mystical artifact of power.
Details

This mod adds a medium-sized quest with a backstory steeped in lore to the world of Tamriel. To start the quest, go to a Mage's Guild in Skingrad, Anvil, or Bravil and listen in on the conversations. You will get a journal update telling you what to do next.

Incompatibility
===============
If you have any mods the touch the Ayleid wells in-game, then you should load this plug-in first. There was no way of doing what I wanted done without touching those.
Load my mod before the Unique Landscapes and they will not conflict. The only problem will be the land will be piling up in front of my caves. It's very minor and doesn't touch gameplay at all.
Other than that, you should be good. :D
Known Issues or Bugs
====================
You may have some issue playing inside of Aranseli. I designed the ruin to run on an ATi X800 series and 1GB of RAM, and have since upgraded to an ATi Radeon HD 3850 and 2GB of RAM. Again, e-mail me if you found that your FPS took too much of a hit. Please only contact me if the settings you're playing under usually run between 30-60 FPS and dropped down below 15 for a good period of time.
History

1.1, 2009/06/19 - Major changes
:-: Changes in 1.1 are many, and include a new cell for you to explore, The Citadel; new traps in The Guardian, and new hallways throughout.
:-: Added detail to all cells and changed the lore around a bit.
:-: Fixed some typos that I missed. Thanks to Vorwoda_the_Black for the edit!
:-: Removed some troublesome gates that were causing players to become trapped in the ruin. (yikes!) Thanks to Newbs for getting stuck. :P
:-: Tons of little things I didn't document.
1.0, 2008/06/09 - Initial release.
