About this mod

Come along on a fantastic journey to the reaches of man's psychological limits in this dream-inspired mod location! Mimes, non-lore gods and goddesses, mermaids, oh my!

Should the dream mime’s summons you accept
Through the mystical window you must step
A mountain village to your left will give you a surprise
A coliseum to your right may lead to your demise

This primarily atmospheric mod adds a stilt house between the Western Watchtower and Whiterun’s stables. Inside you will find a portal to a whimsical world of the author’s fantasies and texts scattered throughout to give some insight to the meaning of the set pieces. Includes over a dozen unique NPCs, customized races, a village (with one vendor, two cooking pots, and an enchanting table), and six fully navmeshed new cells.
Is this just a dream the Dragonborn is having? What strange denizens and creatures inhabit this world.. even foreign rituals of unfamiliar Aedra and Daedra! It appears that perhaps the coliseum was built specifically for the purpose of a fight between the Dragonborn and Bertha, who will only attack when you approach her. To get there you must ascend the gondolier’s tunnel, and pass under the watchful gaze of traitors and stone ancients. Should you avoid your contest and veer off course, other dangers await you such as a race of New Natives who stalk the highways in the clouds, or ghosts who stalk the crypts, or a crazed horse looking to trample you! You may even stumble into the afterlife only to be sent back to fated battle with Bertha…
***Specifics/Disclaimers/Non-Roleplaying Details***
I had to remove this mod from the Vanilla Skyrim page because I couldn't figure it out, sorry! Also I'm not sure how it works with torrented copies of Skyrim. On Steam it's really as simple as extracting the zip folder to your data folder, so advice is much appreciated.
This mod is based on dreams I’ve had and images I created using Bing’s AI image generator of those dreams/creative visions, also heavily inspired by Peter Pan and the Pirates of the Caribbean theme park ride. I am not an expert!!! The focus is on views and atmosphere but I am quite ignorant about dialogue and AI Packages, so feel free to suggest resources to inform me about these things. The texts in this mod are bare bones and as stated, it is far from lore friendly. Full disclosure too, one cell (on which very little emphasis is placed) is basically a copy-paste of the Solitude Sawmill but believe me, it doesn’t affect the playability if you know this.
I hope someone out there enjoys my creation! I sure had fun making it.
