SKYRIDGE BLUFF
Once an Orc Stronghold, "Skyridge Bluff" was ruled by Ugmahl Didge,
a powerful Orc Chieftain who was feared by even the most elite warriors in Skyrim.
But a sinister group of Thalmor thugs and mages contrived a plan to rid the valley around Whiterun of all Orkish settlements. So with the help of a small hired mercenary force, they overtook the stronghold, then known as "Jaghmarnol".
The siege left Ugmahl alive, but crippled to the point of helplessness. When the battle had ended, the Thalmor commanded the Chieftain to leave the valley, or he and his three remaining Orc survivors would be killed. But Ugmahl, being a proud Orc, told the other three to head out to Mor Khazgur, where his brother Larak ruled.
"I will stay behind and resist the Thalmore when they return, so that I can die in battle ... the way it should be!"
(he told them).
Before the Thalmor returned, a stranger, known as the Dragonborn, happened upon the ailing Chieftain while exploring the stronghold. Ugmahl pleaded with the Dragonborn to end his pain by plunging his own Orcish dagger into his heart and freeing him of his pain. In return, The Chief promised the Dragonborn full ownership of "Jagmarnol." So upon retaining the deed to the property, the Dragonborn put the brave warrior out of his misery.

MOD FEATURES:
So now the property, renamed "Skyridge Bluff", has become a home to the Dragonborn. A rustic home with a camp like atmosphere, the home was not changed much, preserving its Orcish raw charm, with plenty of room for comrades, The home has full crafting capabilities, with smithing near the home's entry and magical crafting in the basement.
Also in the basement, is a relaxation area with a beverage bar for toasting all of the victories yet to be fulfilled.
There are several areas to relax outdoors, including a covered archery range with weapon racks on the lower of two decks, which also has a lovely waterfall to cool you on those steaming summer days.
There are fresh eggs from the chickens on the upper deck, but no garden, since that didn't seem very authentic to a stronghold environment.
This is not a child oriented mod, since the stronghold is located in a dangerous area near Dustman's Cairn.
The quest has already been played, so you can move right in. There are no keys needed.
Look for the trapdoor in the living room that leads to the basement.
Better kill that bear out back before he kills the chickens!
If you are looking for a mod that will give you tons of treasures and perks, then this isn't the mod for you, although there are a few.
I have tried to keep "Skyridge Bluff" as lore friendly as possible.
I don't plan on adding anything else, unless I forgot something essential. Please let me know if I did.
I developed this mod because I wanted a "camp ground" type of experience, while still having most of the things I needed in a player home. So if you like camping (in luxury), this is the mod for you!
Thanks!
My sincere thanks to all who donate and endorse this mod!
There is a serious controversy in the modding community about Steam offering a "pay option" for modders in
their workshop. I do not support that option but I do support the donation
request option. I am urging my fellow gamers to not purchase mods. KEEP
