Description:
=================
Wellspring Vale is a homey little village on the plains North of Kvatch. In it you'll find a Galleria House
presiding over the village with placeable paintings for sale and the deed to a sumptuous yet small home, an outdoor
market and inviting Inn.
=================
Details:
=================
Wellspring Vale was founded by Erissa and her husband Heceri. Both Altmer painters of some note, they settled above
Kvatch in their golden years after a life spent exploring Cyrodiil for inspiration. They tempted merchants from
nearby Kvatch and soon had a bustling, yet peaceful little village to keep their Galleria House company. The
outdoor market draws travelers along the Gold Road. Erissa had a modest and cozy home built beside her Galleria
House, called Autumn Cottage, and hopes to find someone of like mind to live there.
In her Galleria House, Erissa sells her paintings for those with the Septims to appreciate them. The traveler only
wishing to visit will find comfy lodgings at the Wellspring Inn. The proprietor, Rani, offers some goods the
adventurer may find useful. In the open air market, vendors wait with goods ranging from garden grown fruits and
vegetables to books, armor and weapons. Garond the Smith carries some unusual weapons he brought from his homeland.
Those wishing to assume ownership of Autumn Cottage should see Erissa in the Galleria House.
=================
Notes of Interest:
=================
At the moment, there is only one NPC with original dialogue in Wellspring Vale. Erissa, in the Galleria House. I
may come back to this and update with voices for the other villagers but for now, one was enough.
The creatures in Baune Morasel may provide a tough challenge to those in single digit levels. Come prepared or
level a bit and come back later. For those determined to cheat but worried, yes, you can console kill the creatures
without breaking the quest.
Those with Erviin's Ayleid Steps Mod active will find three Ayleid Steps on the Ayleid well in the center of the
village. Have fun!
If you don't like weapons and armor a bit on the powered side, Tough noogies. 
My mod. My choice and I like them
that way. You may feel free to adjust them for your own game in the CS yourself.

=================
*Users of the West Roads mod, will find some small
land tears near the village. Arthmoor has kindly made a patch to fix this. It can be found here:

=================
Known Issues:
=================
*The placeable paintings may not sit as they should in the IC Waterfront Shack. This is a fault of that interior
and nothing I can fix. Best you can do is keep them away from the walls or they likely will fall out.

Special Thanks:
=================
Many MANY thanks to Greenwarden for her expert and perfect voicing of Erissa.
I can not call Wellspring JUST my mod when so many helped me make this a reality. Without DarkRider and
InsanitySorrow in particular, I would not have been able to accomplish this. InsanitySorrow made my buyable-
placeable paintings a reality and he and DarkRider both worked to get my dialogue in the mod as well as the small
quest.They helped me exceed my own skills to make something more. Thank you both so much!
many thanks as well to Ysne and EruditeDragon for their thorough testing of Wellspring Vale.
Thanks to Khettienna whos wonderful tutorial on how to COBLize a mod told me everything I needed.

- Wellspringv2.0_to_v2.0.1_FIX_forhungryNPCs:
- =================
- This is a small update to fix the starving NPCs of Wellspring. At some point the food I'd given has gone missing, resulting in some tavern brawls over stolen food. There are two esps, one for the vanilla version of the mod and one of the COBL version. Simply copy over your existing Wellspring esp with the proper esp for your version.
- =================
- Update v2.0.2:
- =================
- Some NPC AI has been fixed and the outdoor market has received a bit of a makeover to make stealing the merchants blind a bit more of a challenge.
