Description

The Black Marsh beta version includes playable content for a complete half of the BlackMarsh worldspace. This includes the Western half of the map that borders with Cyrodiil. A border will be placed over the incomplete section of the East but the nearby regions will be generated.

The beta version will also include:

• completed settlements, often with unique architecture, within the Western half of the map complete with interiors and NPCs,
  
• completely landscaped regions for the beta areas,
  
• a full set of dungeons for this part of the map with unique tilesets,
  
• a wide and diverse range of new flora, clutter, books and countless other items,
  
• several different varieties of Argonian and six new races (Naga, Marsh Cat, Lilmothiit, Sload, Paatru and Sarpa),
  
• a complete set of new creatures specially selected for the province,
  
• a new fast travel system involving rootworms,
  
• some full and some abbreviated questlines
  
• ....and much more.

Licensing/Legal

You may not use any part of this project without express permission. For any models that you seek to use for other creative projects, please identify the modeller concerned and contact them. Do NOT claim any of it to be your own work.

Please do NOT re-host this file without our explicit permission.

Please do NOT waste our valuable time by becoming a team member just to get access to the files. It is the opinion of the leader that anyone found doing so should be pursued across icy wastelands by needle-toothed Jackals wearing only a tie...for many moons! X(

Hmm... Is this released or is it only some internal release? I don't see link for downloading.

[Ibsen's Ghost]

No, it's in anticipation of a release as Sandor requested a RELz thread.
