Vargr

V1.1 Update
- Added a gateway leading to The Cloud District
- To fit the aesthetic of Whiterun, the castle has some added rubble, some new scars to show off for an old city
- House of clan Battle-born now has a porch with some trees
- Reduced and modified some of the Skyforge area as I felt I overdid it a bit 

This is a vanilla+ overhaul for the city of Whiterun
This is an extensive lore friendly overhaul of the interior of the city
This mod will require Fortified Whiterun

Two versions available
Vargr which does not include my Lanterns for Fortified Whiterun and Palisades for Fortified Whiterun
Vargr Complete which is a version of this mod including all of these mods in one download
If you already downloaded all of these mods and installed it makes no difference, they are all ESL Flagged
This just provides a simple All-In-One download for anyone who wants it


A lot of careful consideration went into the foundation of this mod

The entrance of the city adds a small fortification and adds some much needed lighting
The guard tower has been improved with some added defense fitting a watchtower

The Skyforge in lore is ancient, yet the base game did not reflect this whatsoever
The area around the Skyforge has some subtle nods to the dark secrets of the faction

The banners around the city are representative of where they lead to
For example, Companion banners are now hanging in the center of the city
If you follow the banners, they lead you right to Jorrvaskr
Same with the interior banners leading to Dragonsreach

Some small additions to the Hall of the Dead area to expand the graveyard
Highly recommend using Skyrim Graveyards alongside this mod

A small shrine of Kynareth has been added to the district square just outside of the temple

A small beggar living space has been added in the corner of the city complete with cooking


I have plans to build off of this mod further in the future
Plans include but are not limited to;
Add some city changes and effects based on the civil war progress and completion
Add some changes based off of progress in the Dragonborn storyline

 
I tried to keep this mod relatively light in regards to FPS
Many city overhauls add additional NPC's, homes, etc and can make the cities feel too cluttered in my opinion
I understand this style of modification isn't for everyone
This was created for myself to fit specific preferences I had for my own playthroughs


This mod was specifically built to work with my other Whiterun mods
Lanterns for Fortified Whiterun
Palisades for Fortified Whiterun
