Description
===========
The Stone of Snow-Throat is a large cavern located below the Throat of the World. A place of Nordic legend, the Stone was
once an entryway for Shor to travel between Nirn and Sovngarde.

The cavern doesn't have much in the way of amenities or storage (thus unsuitable for use as a player home, though an optional
hospitable version may come in a future update), but it is special for something more: it contains a portal to Sovngarde.
To prevent game-breaking, the cavern is only accessible after you visit Sovngarde the standard way: on the central hill,
stuck in the word wall, you will find an ancient dragon claw that will open the way for you when you return to the waking
world. You will probably want to finish your business in Sovngarde before entering the portal. Additionally, there is a reward for you for beating the World-Eater: Shor will give you a useful blessing when you read the tablet at the top of the central pillar. Finally, there is a copy of Shor, Son of Shor next to the entrance of the cave for your collection.

The Stone of Snow-Throat was conceived out of a frustration with Bethesda's incapability to implement their own lore
properly. TES V left the Nordic culture we knew from Morrowind in absolute shambles: in particular, the Nordic pantheon. The Stone of Snow-Throat is my attempt to rectify a little bit of this.

Care has been taken to remain as lore-friendly as possible. Every placed object has a story or purpose for being. I aim to deliver a seamless experience with all my mods, so I hope that translates into your gameplay.


Installation
=======
Install via your mod management tool of choice. I recommend ModOrganizer 2.
If you must install manually, simply drop the appropriate files into your Skyrim data folder.


Uninstall
=========
For MO2 users, untick the mod from the left panel, or just remove it altogether.
For manual users, simply delete the .esp file and the DolKhazun folder from \Data\Meshes.


Compatibility
=============
Any mod that alters the same exterior areas as the Stone will be incompatible.


Known Issues or Bugs
====================
Loading into a save made inside the cavern teleports the player to the Sleeping Giant Inn in Riverwood. I have no idea what causes this. If anyone with experience using Worldspaces knows what's up, please message me or drop a comment.
