> INTRODUCTION --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A strange meeting, rumors of a mystic island shrouded in darkness and an important mission. An epic journey awaits...

The Shroud of Jotunheim is a very ambitious mod which has taken around 500+ hours to complete and it is now served to you
for free. Far away to the north-west of Skyrim lies a long forgotten island with a sinister secret. It is up to you to unveil
its shroud and do what you must in order to save yourself and all of Nirn.

With a questline of around 6-10 hours playtime, The Shroud of Jotunheim offers very much. But there is more: new weapons,
treasures, deep storylines, fully voiced NPCs, challenging puzzles, player housing, a big island and a large underground city...
It is an adventure-themed mod with hints of horror.


> Installation --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Download and extract all files and save them wherever you want (to your desktop, for instance).
2. Move all the files from the "Data"-folder into Skyrim's "Data"-folder which usually can be found in
"...Program (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/skyrim/". When you are done, you will thus find "Jotunheim.esp" and the other folders
in Skyrim's "Data"-folder.
3. Start up Skyrim's launcher and make sure "Jotunheim.esp" is marked in "Data Files".
4. Enjoy!


> COMPATIBILITY AND RECOMMENDATIONS -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This mod can be played without any installed programs but Skyrim itself. I do however recommend some things for a better playing
experience. First, make sure Skyrim is properly patched to the latest version. Furthermore I do recommend to not play with too
much mods on the same time when you are using The Shroud of Jotunheim. It might work but it might also be laggy and buggy.

I also recommend downloading a nice ENB of your own personal choice; it makes things even prettier. Bringing a companion to
Jotunheim can also be a bad idea. Everything is navmeshed but it is not completely companion-friendly. Your own character�s level
should also be level 8+.

There is currently a bug that does not affect gameplay very much but would be neat to fix: grass in the distance (LOD) is brown,
not green, and I have not figured out why that is. If anyone knows, send me a pm!


> VERSION -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The mod is still in beta. It has been tested by two beta-testers who have discovered bugs but there are probably still quite
a few of them left. If you find them, let me know preferably in a pm. With your help, we will soon see a v1.0.
