Let us away....

While on the road to Leyawiin, you feel nature's call and seek to answer it promptly. Under a small rock overhang north west of the Wayshrine of Stendarr you discover partially buried remains. From there it's up to you.

Description
========================
A long forgotten temple in the wilds of Cyrodiil. A place of interest with a small backstory. Can be used as a player home.

This started out as a replacer to convert part of Ebrocca into a player home. Eventually became a seperate cell, then was expanded to include a temple, then more rooms added to flesh it out, then more ruins added on the surface, then a few more additions for interest. Mostly an experiment to see what I could do with the CS. I highly recommend the Extended CS. It's more user friendly and stable and is what encouraged me to finish this after it sat on my HD for three years. I built it keeping in mind that it would be possible to build this in real life, more or less. Nearly drove me insane. I would love to build a quest with dialogue and all but I don't have the knowledge nor the desire to climb anymore learning curves.

It's a lost temple. Very few have seen it over the centuries. Some bits are visible across Cyrodill but won't get you in. If you're the kind who likes to travel off the beaten path you might stumble onto it. In a sense I've created the equivalent of a rumor that you might hear in a tavern. "I've heard of an old temple somewhere but no ones found it yet." This is a mod about exploration. It was meant to be installed and forgotten about then "discovered" during play. Unfortunately Oblivion is past its time. Not many doing play throughs anymore, I know I'm not.


My apologies for any injuries/deaths caused by my previous attempts. Remember, if any parachute I sell you fails to open you get a full refund.



Requirements
========================
DLC Shivering Isles

Optional - SG Slave Leia by neovinci. Has a temple character wear the outfit. Using the plugin with that mod is optional but you will need it if you want the outfit. Resources are NOT included in this mod. Go here to get them.


Instructions
========================
Select With Rats OR Without Rats esp plugin, do not use both.
Load the optional Kvatch delay after Minae Namga.esp
Load the optional lights with or without fog addon after Minae Namga.esp
Load the optional brighter addon after the lights addon.
Load the optional priestess addon after Minae Namga.esp , install neovinci's mod for the assets.
Drop the meshes, textures and sound folders into your DATA folder, if asked to merge folders say yes.
Check the esps with a mod manager. Explore.

Patch not needed for v1.08 and v1.08a or later.




Notes
========================
Borders will need to be disabled. Go here: C:\uses\your user name\My documents\my games\Oblivion\Oblivion.ini , find bEnableBorderRegion=1 and change the 1 to a 0.

With the exception of the resources the temple itself is built of vanilla assests on a vanilla landscape. It will probably conflict with Better Cities, Unique Landscapes and any mod that modifies Cyrodiil in general. Feel free to make compatibility plugins or make it part of those mods.

My mod will allow you to visit Kvatch before you start its quest possibly causing issues. Activate the Kvatch delay plugin if you haven't visited Kvatch yet. This fix disables the Kvatch portal and puts a place holder there instead. Once you have gone through the Kvatch gates you can delete it.

If there are any issues I can address them on the weekends. My job gives me little free time weekdays.



Bugs
========================
Unknown as I keep finding mistakes.


Warranty
========================
There isn't any. Use at your own risk. It worked for me but depending on how your game is configured it may not work for you.



Rights
========================
This mod is for nexusmods.com only. It is not to be uploaded anywhere else and not for profit.

The ESP plugin and only the ESP plugin is a modder resource. You can make it part of your quest or dungeon mod, just give me the credit for its layout. Uses phitts and stroti modders resources as eye candy. They aren't needed for the ESP to function as a modder resource.
