Long ago, during the second era in the time of the Planemeld, adventurers sought out whatever power they could gain to aid in their battle against Molag Bal. Among these items of power were Skyshards, presumably made available by the gods for those who were dedicated to exploring both the hidden and mundane corners of Tamriel. Not much is truly known about them, but in these trying times of dragons and civil war, the Skyshards have once again appeared for the Last Dragonborn to discover and augment his power. ESO Skyshards places several shards throughout the province of Skyrim, including Dawnguard areas and Solstheim. Much like the ones from ESO itself, once you collect 3, you will earn 1 perk point to spend as you see fit. There are 6 in each section, for a total of 66 shards amounting to 22 extra perk points. That may seem like a lot, but by the time you've found them all you'll likely be pretty high level anyway so it balances out in the end. Sorry, beyond the 3 screenshots displayed for the mod, I will not reveal the locations of all of the shards. They do not have map markers either, and there are no plans to provide any. They are located in a mix of easy areas and hard areas so they should prove to be quite a challenge to locate. This mod will go especially well with mods that expand the number of perks you can use as well as perk overhauls that expand the number of points required to obtain perks. This mod requires external assets and is therefore not possible to port to PS4. Sorry.

Let me guess... ...you saw this coming. Well, yes. It was just about time. Not only will a general thread keep things organized here, for whoever is interested, but I can also make a collection of helpful articles/links/places that you can go to in case you need info. Without further ado, let's get this started. (also, I fail at formatting - shocking, I know) 'Tis the year 582 of the Second Era and Nirn needs YOU! Stand together and help drive the evil back! OFFICIAL SITE We have also formed an AFK Mods in-game guild. If you wish to join, please contact me via PM here, on AFK forums, or in-game via email at @Lore_lai.

In 2E 582, Molag Bal launched an all out invasion against Nirn. His aim was to merge Nirn with Coldharbor in a cataclysmic event that came to be known as the Planemeld. This was accomplished through the use of numerous Dark Anchors, or Dolmens, scattered around Tamriel (and presumably elsewhere too) that were to physically drag Nirn into Coldharbor. It was only through the heroic actions of one known as The Vestige that Molag Bal's plans were thwarted and all of Nirn saved from a gruesome end as soulless slaves. Though history does not record these events, the ruins themselves have survived. Adventurers have to this day reported many are guarded by daedra, others by the undead, and some by unnatural abominations of the wilds. This mod aims to bring a bit of ESO lore to Skyrim by adding 12 inactive Dolmens around Skyrim, all in relatively remote areas. This is primarily just for show but several have enemies to fight as well so you can use them to acquire some of the harder to find Daedric ingredients. Explore Skyrim, and you should run into them soon enough. Don't be lazy, go out and look!

An expansion for the village of Shor's Stone. Shor's Stone always seemed like a place that had more potential than what was in the game, and as it turns out, that's because it does. NPCs talk about Odfel's wrecked house and the need to build a new one, but the wreckage doesn't exist. Grelka has some scenes with the other NPCs that can never play because she never comes to the town, and may well have originally been planned for there. Plus the place always seemed a bit empty, in need of somewhere for the folks to gather at night other than just the fireplace in front of Sylgja's house. Now, all of these things have been taken care of. Shor's Stone is no longer a backwater half-village. * Grelka now has a home at the south end of town. She will travel between there and Riften by horse at the appropriate times. * The Tapped Vein, the inn, where folks gather for the town's evening meal. A subtle tribute to Elder Scrolls Online and the village's past association with Ebony mining. * Inn has a properly working innkeeper, server, and bard. * Odfel's wrecked house now exists on the north side of town. So sad. * LOD has been generated for the area, including trees that account for the changes.

Skyrim AI for traveling is wonky at best, and I've done as much as I can to smooth things over. She has been marked as protected to prevent being accidentally killed by the various hostiles along her travel route. Credits Hana - Blank inn sign resource used to create The Tapped Vein's sign.
