Permissions:
- No redistribution. This mod must remain exclusive to TES Alliance.
- You are allowed to make changes to this mod to your convenience as long as you do not redistribute it after modification.

With this mod you will be able to start the game:
- from Cyrodiil,
- from Hammerfell,
- from High Rock,
- from Morrowind (South and North).
According to your choice, your player will be teleported near the border from where they are coming.
Helgen:
Hadvar and Ralof:
-----oOo-----
Notes:
- Helgen has been destroyed and looks exactly like it should after Alduin's attack if you had played the vanilla beginning,
- Nobody will mention the presence of the player in Helgen (unless I've overlooked something, of course),
- Hadvar has been moved to Castle Dour, near General Tullius; he will be disabled at some point during the civil war campaign,
- Ralof has been moved to the Palace of the Kings in Windhelm, near Ulfric Stormcloak; he will be disabled at some point during the civil war campaign.
Starting the main and civil war quest lines:
- Your player will not witness the attack on Helgen but starting the main quest line and the civil war will always be possible.
- If you haven't visited Helgen yet, you'll have to bribe the guard so that he allows you to enter Whiterun and Jarl Balgruuf will not have proper lines for you. To start the main quest, you'll have to discover Helgen first. Once this done, go visit Jarl Balgruuf in Whiterun. The usual scene will not start, approach the Jarl and tell him that you want to help him dealing with the dragon problem.
- to start the Civil War quest line, simply go to Solitude or Windhelm and enlist there, as usual.
- if you start the Civil War quest line before the main quest line, you'll have to discover Helgen. A quest will launch to that effect when you bring the "Message to Whiterun" to Jarl Balgruuf.
