Sinderion - Master Alchemist of Cyrodiil

Author: gamingsrc
Version: 1.2



Description

First some lore information about Sinderion from uesp.net page:

Sinderion was a famous Altmer master alchemist known for his research into the Nirnroot plant.
For most of his life, he lived in the basement of the West Weald Inn in the Cyrodilic city of Skingrad. He was an honorary member of the College of Winterhold. He collaborated with Arch-Mage Taris Rendil to develop the Frostcrag Apparatus Table, an alchemy lab in Frostcrag Spire. Avrusa Sarethi, an alchemist from Vivec City, came to Skingrad to train under Sinderion. He was also a connoisseur of wines, and was known to provide alchemy training in return for the local vintage wine from 3E 399. Sinderion's interest in the Nirnroot began when he purchased a dusty alchemical tome from an adventurer. Most of the recipes within were worthless, but one detailed a potion called the "Elixir of Exploration". This potion brought out the huge magical potential of the rare Nirnroot. He presented his findings at the Alchemical Symposium in the hopes of funding, but was turned down. In 3E 433, he hired the Champion of Cyrodiil to collect samples of Nirnroot for him. The Champion provided enough samples to complete Sinderion's research and create the strongest version of the elixir. Sinderion again presented his speech to the Alchemical Symposium in Rain's Hand of 4E 2.

This mod try to bring Sinderion to the level of true Master of Alchemy in Cyrodiil that should have been in Oblivion game from the start. A lot of care have been taken concerning the choice of changes made in his Berthesda-neglected cell at the ground of West Weald Inn in Skingrad. I tried as much I can to not break lore and immersion of the game by adding too much items that are out of place. I also made sure that my changes are compatible with J. Roush Advanced Alchemy mod.
