"Eol's Refuge"
"You are of the house of Eöl, Maeglin, my son, and not of the Golodhrim. All this land is the land of the Teleri, and I will not deal nor have my son deal with the slayers of our kin, the invaders and usurpers of our homes. In this you shall obey me, or I will set you in bonds." ― Quenta Silmarillion, "Of Maeglin"
High in the mountains, in ice and snow storms, a hut that can become your home is hidden in solitude.
If you like peace and seclusion then this place will provide you with both.
From the height there is a beautiful view of the valley and the Dwarven ruins.
The hut is located between the SilverDrift Lair and the Ironbind Barrow.
You will see a staircase to the top nearby at the entrance of the Ironbind Barrow.
Background:
I was inspired to create this house by the story of the elf Eol from Tolkien's Silmarillion.
Eol, nicknamed the Dark Elf — in J. R. R. Tolkien's legendarium, the elf of Beleriand, one of the Teleri, a high-class blacksmith and metallurgist.
Eöl, known as the Dark Elf, was a Sinda of the First Age.
Akin to Thingol, he left Doriath to found his own realm in the forest of Nan Elmoth.
He built up a friendship with the Dwarves of the Blue Mountains.
That friendship gave him an insight into their craft, and he came to forge the swords Anguirel and Anglachel, the latter of which became Turin's sword Gurthang.
More details:
- the house consists of a small hall, a large room and a basement (entrance from outside);
- many named containers (storage, food, drinks, books, weapons, ingredients, potions, etc.);
- fire, pot, grill;
- one bed;
- alchemical workbench, enchanting workbench and forge in the basement;
- 2 pots for growing plants;
- 2 cauldrons with crystals from which you can get black soul gems (the recovery rate depends on your respawn settings);
- dynamic atmospheric lighting in the house;
- navmesh for your followers;
- all objects are static.
The dwelling is locked.
To get the key, you need to explore the area around the entrance to the Ironbind Barrow.
Someone from the wanderers has already tried to get into this dwelling and he has compiled a recipe for the key.
Where this traveler disappeared is unknown.
You will find a satchel with a recipe not far from his sleeping bag.
To create a key in the forge, you will need: a silver ingot, malachite ingot and a Dwarven cog (it is in the satchel).
The recipe for the key will be in the miscellaneous and will appear only when the note is in your inventory.
