What does Ashenguard require?

Ashenguard requires the latest version of Skyrim. (As of July 12th, 1.9.32.0.8) It also requires that you own and have ALL DLC in the load order. No additional mods are required.

Installing Ashenguard


To install Ashenguard extract all items into your Skyrim/Data folder. The Folder should contain these files. A Meshes folder, a scripts folder, and a Textures folder, Also the
.ESP file & Ashenguard.lod file with Finally a short Readme txt. I'm not currently sure if you need the scripts, nor the Character folders for Meshes/Textures regarding
FaceGen Etc..? I added these anyway. Place Ashenguard.esp into your load order, As close to the DLC as possible. (close to top) Exact order may not matter, as Ashenguard
shouldn't conflict with alot of things, but it should be close to the top as other mods may later edit Ashenguard.

How to Begin Ashenguard, & does Leveling matter?


To start Ashenguard, go to the Raven Rock Dock in Solstheim. There, look out to sea, and see the new ship docked there? well you can't miss it really! its at the end of the main
wharf in the opposite direction of the other boats already there in Solstheim.
Get on the boat and then you can either enter the trapdoor to go into the ship for a new interior* or you can skip this if you really want to though i advise that you give it
a look :) then enter the main door on the ship.
this will instantly Load you into Ashenguard [ it's the best way i could make this work for now until i learn the more savvy Bethesda ways*. ] Also Note that to return to
Solstheim you just re-use the same door. Ive left "Clues" as to why you cant go from the exterior door
[ into the ship directly ]... for now that's what the trapdoor in the middle of the exterior of the ship is for. :)

You can be at any level that you wish. However note that a Lvl #1 character is bound to die in the Crypt and various other areas too, you will want a decent leveled
player i'd suggest a Minimum of Lvl #15 but you can always ~TGM if you want to explore it at lower levels, and of course if your a Lvl #80+ expect the enemies to be a cakewalk.
