The Isle Of Valefrost
by: venjhammet
"At the outer reaches of the Sea of Ghosts rests the enigmatic Isle of Valefrost, a realm steeped in mystery and allure. Beneath the tranquil façade lies a realm ruled by the ancient House of Malvak, where Nord and Dark Elf coexist in rare harmony. Yet, as whispers of tranquility echo through the land, shadows stir in the depths. Unseen by many, malevolent forces begin their subtle invasion of the island, shrouding its secrets in darkness once more. Among them, the clandestine order known as the Greyfang, harboring knowledge of the island's darkest truths, plots to reclaim dominion over Valefrost. As the veil of tranquility wanes, the land's secrets beckon to be unraveled. Will you uncover the mysteries that lie dormant within Valefrost, or succumb to the encroaching darkness that threatens to engulf it once more?"
How to get to Valefrost:
How to get to Valefrost:
In Skyrim, start your adventure by visiting the Wreck of the Brinehammer. Close by, you'll discover a small camp with two bandits seated around a campfire. Dispatch them, and loot the body of Ardor, one of the bandits. He carries a book titled "Isle of Valefrost", which holds the key to your next adventure.
If for some reason Ardor is missing, blown away, or mysteriously disintegrated, fear not! Another copy of the book can be found resting on top of a nearby crate in the camp. Reading the book triggers the quest "A Frosty Intrigue". Find Coldfare dock, east of Solitude near the Lighthouse. Good luck, Dragonborn/Non-dragonborn—your adventure to Valefrost awaits!

How the Miscellaneous quest works:
Starting from the quest "The Keeper of Knowledge," you no longer need to track prerequisite quests manually. At the end of each prerequisite quest, you will encounter a named enemy NPC. Defeat it to obtain a note, which will provide guidance on your next objective and trigger a quest marker.
Ensure you read the note, as ignoring it will require you to refer to the quest guide to proceed. This feature is only available to first-time players. Those updating an existing playthrough will still need to rely on the quest guide.
Other introduced features:
-Valefrost guard will try to take over Fort Malvak
Final Note:
This is the final version of the mod. No further add-ons will be introduced, except for bug fixes if any issues are
reported or discovered and possible voicelines.
