Ysne's Ideas from Idea Thread
Where would we want to put the main library? I think putting it in Blackreach would be an interesting idea. The labyrinth might be another place. Or would we want a separate nonvanilla location? What do you think of the name Order of the Scroll for the mod? If we were going to put it on that mountain, I'd recommend an entrance partway up the mountain, instead of on top of it. I suspect too much happens quest wise to put it at the top of the mountain. Another possibility would be to have an entrance to it from the monastery.
There is no question. I think these ideas fit hand in glove with each other. Portals is a good idea, I'd think each one would need to be activated by a quest. It might not be a bad idea to make this modular ie. Vanilla books and artifacts = main expansion (yes this will be an expansion if everything gets included). Then do a separate mod for the Compendium, a separate one for the Dwemer museum, a separate one for the mythic dawn. Perhaps some sort of interlibrary agreement with Winterhold College? Regardless of who we get to help with this, this is a lot of work. Wonderful ideas! So, tentatively, entrance to main library will be a cave partway up the Throat of the World. Another possibility for the Dwemer collection and the Mythic Dawn collection might be to set them up as branches of the Library. If we want to be as compatible as possible, for people who would want to do this before doing certain quests, it might be better to leave them intact, maybe add on rooms to add stuff, such as daedric artifacts to the Mythic Dawn museum.
