Gameplay FAQs
=============
YOU MUST HAVE BORDERS DISABLED TO FINISH THE STORYLINE
Q: How do I start this quest?
A: You can find Eredur in the Imperial city Market District; he is a bosmer wearing dwarven armor.
Q: How do I get Ayleid weapons and Armor?
A: Several ruins in the game will have an alter with unique armor and weapons specific to that specific ruin. You can also use the Ayleid forge in Nagastani.
Q: How do I use the wine maker?
A: Put ingredients in the wine maker, press the "create wine" switch, and the wine will be in the barrel to the left of the wine maker.
Q: Why do Ayleid weapons crumble to dust when I try to pick them up, and why can't I loot the armor?
A: The only playable ayleid armor is the ceremonial armor (it's the same strength as normal but with enchantments) found in several ruins, or any armor you make yourself through the forge.
A (con't): Weapons can also be found with the ceremonial armor, as well as being made from the forge.

OBMM Uninstall
--------------
1. Start Oblivion Mod Manager.
2. Double-click the name of the mod in the right-hand side of the OBMM screen,
click Yes. (icon should turn green)
Upgrade
=======
If you are "upgrading" from my original "Return of the Ayleids" mod, you need to deactivate the previous esp, open oblivion, save, then reactivate the new esp.
You need a clean save; An immense amount of changes have been made. The previous mod was merely an experiemental base for this one.
Future upgrades will not require this.
Coming soon:
Spelling fixes to dialogue; Female version of ayleid armor.
Incompatibility
===============
This mod will likely have problems with any mods that heavily alter Ayleid ruin interiors and exteriors.
I will try to get the cooperation of other mod authors to get the mods working together.
This mod will not conflict with "Lost Sword of the Ayleids."

Credits

Thanks go to "Euther" from the Bethsoft forums for lending me his vocal talent; He voiced the full part of Eredur, as well as providing voices for Redguard and High Elf NPCs. He also found all of the other voice actors used in other parts.
Thanks go to "Darkrider" from the Bethsoft forums for voicing the part of Athelas.
Thanks go to "Morninglord" for his fantastic work voicing as an altmter.
Thanks go to "Ibsen's Ghost" for voicing the main villian, who's name I cannot reveal due to spoilers ;) !
Thanks go to "JDFan" from the Bethsoft forums for beta testing for me; he found a lot of issues and was able to provide many suggestions. He was also kind enough to create all of the icons for the armor and weapons as well as touching up some of my textures.
Thanks to the forums in general as well.
Big thanks goes to "Newber1337" for allowing me to use the meshes and textures from "Newb's Armored Robes" as well as allowing me to modify them.
Also, stay tuned for a complete visual overhaul by Najaknevrec!
