About this mod
Adds two wells to Riften roughly corresponding with the locations of the Ragged Flagon and the Cistern.
- Permissions and credits
In the Riften underground, there are three places with a well letting sunlight in from the surface: the Ratway, the Ragged Flagon, and the Cistern. But on the surface, there is only one well at the center of the Riften market. Where are the other two rooms getting sunlight from?
The marketplace well most closely fits the location of the Ratway. I added two new wells to the surface at locations matching as close as reasonably possible to where the Ragged Flagon and the Cistern should be located. This is not an exact scale placement as there are too many existing objects on the surface in Riften to avoid conflicts with, so I just placed them by eye at the nearest available spot.
The Cistern well is located outside the city wall to avoid blocking the somewhat narrow path behind the Temple of Mara. A copy of this well exists in both the Riften and Tamriel worldspaces, even though it's not likely to be visible from within Riften without turning on the fly cam.
The ground inside the well is covered up by a black plane which creates an illusion of depth. The existing terrain has not been modified to allow for actual depth within the well. The boards covering the well are part of the default well object and have not be specifically crafted to match the boards as seen from the inside looking up.
Skyrim's insides and outsides will never perfectly match, but this sells it a bit better than before.
