Description:

At long last, one of the oldest Beyond Cyrodiil projects will finally be released. This mod will open up passage to the tropical southern province of Valenwood, home of the Bosmer. Travelling by ship from Anvil, players will find themselves shipwrecked on a group of poorly-charted islands off the southern coast of Tamriel. Cut off from the mainland, the survivors are at the mercy of a hostile local tribe. Yet some of their fellow castaways may not be what they seem either... Players will have to decide whom they can trust, and quickly, if they want to survive long enough to return to the mainland in one piece. The beta release will include:

- A unique new worldspace to explore, dramatically differing from Cyrodiil in flora, landscape and creatures
- Many new meshes, including new architecture and items exclusive to this mod
- A new and richly detailed culture to encounter: the tribal Bosmer, as described in Elder Scrolls lore
- New ingredients, items and quests available for enterprising adventurers
- A complex storyline to follow which will introduce the culture of the islands and their interactions with the outside world
- Over 15 minutes of brand new original music, specially composed for the project by SolarRainUK

Current Active Team:

Deeza - Storyline Author and forum admin
morcroft - Modeller, Texturer and Landscaper
The Old Ye Bard - Quest Modder, Modeller and lore expert
