Description
========

Adds settlements with Glenmoril Witches throughout Cyrodiil, whom will offer services as alchemy merchants, skill trainers, and more

Details
=====

The presence of the Glenmoril Witches in the lore was always a strange one to me. In all honesty, they always came off more as a thinly disguised game mechanic than an actualinstitution that actually inhabits its own world. This mod remedies that problem just a bit by adding a handful of witches' settlements across Cyrodiil. Most of them are pretty off the beaten track, so expect to do some hiking if you want to find them. The witches also come with their own AI packages, so don't be surprised when they only offer to barter with you at certain times of day. The witches are also flagged as essential, so they aren't prime murder targets.

If you do find them, they will offer yous services such as: recharging your enchanted items, selling ingredients and potions, selling spells, and offering skill training. All six branches of magic, plus alchemy, have their own trainer. The witches will also provide access to a few special items that are easily missed in the vanilla game: including the Summon Dremora Lord spell (only purchasable from one NPC in the vanilla game, who vanishes) and the rare ingredients lichor and ambrosia (which could be found outside of Camoran's Paradise, at a grand total of four spawn locations). These witches play no role in the cure vampirism quest, so that quest is uneffected.

Optional Files
===========

An alternative version for V1.1 has been provided that moves the hut on the West Weald to make it compatible with the Ruins of Miscarcand mod.

Known Issues
==========

Some of the AI may not immediately start up. Waiting or reloading the cell seems to correct this. Some of the hut interiors have an odd collision problem right in the center, creating a small, invisible obstruction to the player and NPCs. I have no idea what is causing that, let alone how to correct it. Fortunately, it does not cause any issues besides inconvenience. This was corrected with the Lamp Collision Fix download.

Troubleshooting
============

Feel free to come to me with questions or issues and I will help as best as I can. That said, please bear in mind that I am a novice modder and may not be able to offer much in the way of assistance.
