NIGHTSHADE HAVEN K747



NIGHTSHADE HAVEN was created by Sokkvabekk on Classic, and he also ported it to SSE.  There were a few things that needed fixed, so I updated his port with some extra tweaks, and decided to share it for anyone else who prefers to live on the dark side. 

Nightshade Haven is a dark, atmospheric player home in the Ratway, suitable for thieves, assassins, and morally questionable Dovakiins,  there is no sun-washed garden, no extravagant dining area, and absolutely no accommodation for children.

This home was made to be practical. It has everything that a well-off rogue might need (most of which was "borrowed" during the Dovakiin's travels). Things have also been left a bit gritty, you might find a discarded skeleton or a bloody mess left on the kitchen floor. You are the Dovakiin after all, who has time to maintain a pristine house? Besides, you're in the Ratway, you probably are not seeking many visitors.

This house was designed with consideration to the nature of a thief/assassin. Such a character might be trying to remain unseen and may be a bit paranoid (thus the eight thousand locks and chains on the front door). This home is meant to be secluded and away from prying eyes. There is a small bit of background story about this home that comes in the form of two notes (one right outside house, one inside) and one journal (by the statue outside)
.

ACQUISITION
To obtain this home via the traditional method, you must enter the Ratway. Keep walking until you reach the circular room with the disappointing battleaxe on display. Once you reach this area look around, there is something for you to loot. It will give you a bit of backstory on the previous residents of Nightshade Haven. Go through the gate to your right and check the mail bin (this part is kind of important). Then go forth and explore! Try not to track blood all over the carpets. This version has an additional entrance in the Riften Canal.  It is hidden behind some red climbing moss.
