This mod has no requirements besides the base game. It also doesn’t utilize any references from the Anniversary Edition so those playing earlier (special edition) versions shouldn’t have any issues.

To start, MQ105 “The Way of the Voice” must be completed. Afterwards, the cultists for the Dragonborn DLC will greet the player. Upon killing them, visit any vanilla city for the first quest to begin.

The mod is currently balanced for levels 5-50. A difficulty adjustment is recommended for any characters outside of this margin.

In theory, the mod shouldn't require a clean save. However, I still recommend doing so.

Bringing your own followers along is not recommended.

The zip contains 5 files and a music folder. Add these files to your data folder to install. Remove them to uninstall.
