Kvite's Simple Start
This is a super light altenrate start mod. You start in a small starting area.
Your inventory is filled with basic gear.

Next you may choose to pick a standing stone, and maybe some boons and curses if you please.

Then, when you are ready, you choose a crystal to enter. Each crystal will teleport you too a unique location. The most "near vanilla" location is the "Helgen" crystal.

Compatible with SE / AE / VR

Starting the main quest
To start the main quest, talk to the Jarl in Whiterun. Though, i recommend to first going to Riverwood, completing the Golden Claw quest for The Riverwood Trader, then going to visit the Jarl of Whiterun.

STANDING STONES
All the standing stones can be found within the Realm, same as throughout Skyrim. They will pick up any mods to Standing Stone buffs. They can be found mostly on the ring surrounding the Realm, though some are on the central island. Keep an eye out, and wander around, and you will soon find the one you want most.

Boons and curses

Boons and curses are customized permanent modifications you can make to your character. You can add them at any time, even after character creation, by returning to the Realm of Lorkhan.They can all be found beside an ethereal pool in the Realm, behind the player's starting location.

You can have as many as you feel is right, and you can overlap the classes. Some of them you can even stack, if you want to make a very overpowered character. I'd recommend saving your game before picking any, in case you want to change your mind. They affect 'player.set av' values, and perk entry points, and can be reversed using console commands affecting those.

The curses also allow you to balance your game to make it more challenging. Check out the full list:

Boons (Positive Blessings):
- Boon of the Cat (1/2 fall damage)
- Boon of the Locksmith (Lock 'sweet spot' is 30% larger)
- Boon of the Poisoner (+10 strikes per poison applied)
- Boon of the Pugilist (+20 unarmed damage)
- Boon of the Soul Reaver (Enemies killed will restore 10% of their soul value on enchanted weapons)
- Voice of the Sky (animals do not attack or flee from you [unless attacked])
- Bardic Knowledge (summon a spectral drum to give extra stamina regeneration)

Curses (Negative Blessings):
- Curse of Antimagicka (-3 magicka regeneration)
- Curse of Generosity (you sell items for half of their regular amount)
- Curse of the Slow Learner (-33% skill experience gain)
