Ever had the feeling that the Arch mage doesn't get the appreciation they deserve? Well not Anymore!
When one becomes the Arch Mage of the mages guild, they are the head of Cyrodill's lead authority on magic, and yet, all you get in return for your hard work, is a bed, some enchanting and spell making workbenches , and are forever forgotten. With the "loyal edition" of the Arch mage's quarters, you get something a little bit more fitting to one of the rank of arch mage.
What this mod does
-Changes the arch mage quarters into 2 rooms: The arch mage's office (located somewhere bellow the tower, reachable with the usual teleporation pad in the council rooms) and the arch mage's bed and display case room (located at the top of the tower, reachable by one of the teleportation pads in the office)
-the office includes unique dark wood shelves, unique enchanting/spellmaking workbenches, your own desk, chair, and a rug leading up to it. It also includes 2 private battlemage guards, these battlemages act both as members and guardsmen, they will protect the CURRENT arch mage with their lives, address them properly as "arch mage", and act as any other guardsmen. (IF you are the Arch mage, the 2 battlemages will always forgive you if they catch you commit a crime, but won't hesitate to arrest or attack you if they catch you stealing, killing or so on, when you are NOT the arch mage).
-The tower has been altered to have windows on the top floor, in order to fit along with the new interior.
Q/A
Q: Will this mod break the Thieves guild/mages guild questline?
A: No, i always do my best to make these as solid and bug free as possible, it would break the point of it being an overhaul, if it broke the one thing it's related to. Traven's Daily schedule has been altered to fit the new interior, instead of spending his time in the council room as before, he will now spent that time sitting behind his desk. Quest items (hromir's staff, note about hromir's staff) have been moved unto the desk, while the "arch mage's cupboard" and the enchanted chest used for duplicating ingredients have been moved to the bedroom, next to the bed (the bedroom might be in another room immersion-wise, but it's located in the same cell to avoid breaking anything).
Q: Is the storage safe, will i lose any items i place inside the containers?
A: Yes, it's quite safe, the only container (other than the cupboard and the enchanted chest) is the desk, and it's all a custom model, meaning it won't respawn, and is owned by whoever is the current arch mage.
Q: How do the guards function, really?
A: they stand guard, making sure nothing is stolen, nobody is trespassing, and that the arch mage isn't harmed. They will protect the current Arch mage incase a hostile makes it inside the office, they will also arrest/attack anyone breaking laws (unless you are the arch mage).
Q: which version to use?
A: use the vanilla one if you don't use the Imperial Battlemage Cuirass mod by Eggyslav (Highly suggested), use the IBC version if you do use it, no meshes or textures of his mod are included, so you will obviously need his mod for that version to function at all.
