I'm happy to bring you my first mod ever, Elian - a new marriage candidate designed for Stardew Valley Expanded, a mod created by FlashShifter. Elian is a demon who no longer trusts people and would prefer to live in solitude spending his days reading books about flowers and travel. Or so he says. It's up to you to help him open up his heart and realize the world isn't as black and white as he always thought.

You must have Stardew Valley Expanded and all its dependencies installed for Elian to work.

Elian's home is in the Crimson Badlands, an area added by SVE. It is a cave in the eastern wall a little ways south of the badlands entrance. You'll see his introduction event the first time you enter his cave, and he will begin appearing as normal the following day. Schedules and dialogue vary based on events seen. He will begin attending festivals and you can invite him to movies after seeing his 6 heart event. He starts as non-dateable but becomes dateable after seeing both parts of his 8 heart event.

~ Planned Updates ~
- Add a marriage event (will likely be after SVE 2.0 is out)
- Add island visits
- More dialogue - season specific, day before festival, and interaction with others in town

~ Multiplayer Compatibility ~
Schedule updates happen once any player has seen the relevant event so there might be small inconsistencies with dialogue such as saying he'd like to see somewhere he's already been or watering a spot where there is no plant. Note for his 4 heart event, you should enter his cave with the requested item in your inventory rather than directly giving it to him even if he is married to another player and no longer lives there.

~ Compatibility ~
Ridgeside Village - Elian will attend RSV festivals if installed (will still need to have seen his 6 heart event).
