I instantly downloaded this! Its so perfect. Coming from germany it immidiatly reminded me of the castles, the history and story of my country. And the craftsmanship here. It might not be 100% middleage, but I don't care. It just gives the game this feel of realism and home! <3 Thanks for sharing!
One of the best textures I´ve ever seen. Won´t use them in game however, because of that silly lore-friendly thing. Anyway you´ve got my respects and my endorsement.
I can’t wait to install these beautiful textures later tonight! They look wonderful!!! I replied to another user here asking if this was lore-friendly, and I decided to write a background story (grounded in canon lore) using my imagination to make it lore-friendly. So I’m going to add it to my own comment here too :D
Check it out: When Uriel Septim V launched his campaign to make the Cyrodiilic Empire a two-continent empire, by conquering the mysterious land of Akavir, many unknown materials and alien art styles were discovered. However, the Imperial Expeditionary Forces and the Tenth and Fourteenth Legions were able to confirm that some of these materials, had actually made their way to the island nation of Esroniet, located between Tamriel and Akavir. The independent nation-state of Esroniet, ruled by his excellence, Prince Bashomon, was invaded by the Imperial Navy and Legions of Uriel Septim V, who finally captured the beautiful port city of Black Harbor in 3E 282. After two more years of defending the only major settlement on the island from the native forces, Prince Bashomon surrendered control of the island to Uriel Septim V in 3E 284. *Here’s where we make it lore friendly by using our imaginations. Prince Bashomon, in order to maintain some form of influence over the now Imperial nation-state, and to avoid execution, made a peace offering to the Imperials. Bashomon offered to share the knowledge his people had discovered, using backward engineering of how to make the Akaviri substance he called “porcelain”. In exchange for sharing the knowledge the Esronietians had of the beautiful craftsmanship of ancient Akaviri “porcelain”, and swapping cultural art styles and cuisine with the Imperials, Bashomon was able to secure his own safety, and become a influential advisor to Uriel Septim V, eventually returning with one of the supply ships to the land of Tamriel, where he helped the Imperial provinces learn this knowledge as well.
All we have to do to make these lore friendly, is belieeeeeve lol. Just suspend your disbelief by saying this: When Uriel Septim V launched his campaign to make the Cyrodiilic Empire a two-continent empire, by conquering the mysterious land of Akavir, many unknown materials and alien art styles were discovered.

See? Lore-friendly is always merely a state of mind :D
