== Gray Fox Retreat v1.0 by WhoGuru ==   The Gray Fox was a title passed from generation to generation in the Thieve's Guild of Cyrodiil. Those who managed to survive their tenure, retired to the shores of Lake Honrich in Skyrim and a small, unassuming house on her shores not so far from the lost stronghold of the Nightingales; a handy location for forays into Riften, escape across the lake, and a few treasures left behind by former Foxes. Be sure you take a close look at the model of a Dwemer ruin's entrance. It is said the model was 'borrowed' from an Aldmeri museum and holds a secret entrance to another location. ------------------
The Gray Fox Retreat is located due West of Riften on the south shore of lake Honrich and just East of Heartwood Mill. The front door is locked but any self-respecting thief won't have a problem with that. There is also a horse should you need a mount. Savior is a cheerful boy, happy to thump mobs alongside you.   == Requirements ==

Red's S E R E N I T Y Retex v1.0 by WhoGuru

S E R E N I T Y is an armor created by Hentai. This began as an experiment in recreating KOS-MOS for Oblivion.
All I have done is retexture it and remove a few pieces. All credit for the hard work in creating this wonderful armor goes to Hentai. You can find the original armor here:

http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=21980

This armor can be found in a chest outside Chestnut Handy Stables, at the entrance to the Imperial City. I have also included the sword, also retexed to match the armor.

Note: The hair is not part of this mod. It is from another mod that does not have permission for free use and so is not included here.

Installation:
Extract the archive into your Oblivion Data folder and enable in the launcher.

Un-Installation:
Removed these folders and files -
Meshes/Red/SerenityRetex
Textures/Red/SerenityRetex
SerenityRetex.esp

Credits:
Hentai - for his wonderful Serenity armor without which this would not have been possible.
TESA and DarkRider for teaching me the skills I needed to retexture and mod in the first place.

Permissions:
This mod may be used as a resource, as Hentai makes all his work available for use freely. Be sure you give the proper credit to WhoGuru for the retexture work and to Hentai for the original armor.

COBL Version:
Oblivion 1.2.416
Common Oblivion COBL

=================
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.

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.

Description:
=================

This is a unique exterior home built of hedges to blend in with the surrounding countryside. It is an oasis for magic users and adventurers alike, far out of the way and built in an enchanted glade.

----------

Many years ago, a powerful Hedge Wizard wandered the hills and valleys of Cyrodiil looking for a place to make his home. Following the Panther River, he felt the pull of some deep earth magicks calling to him. His search led him to a range of mountains at the eastern edge of the country. He passed silently by a cavern redolent with the smell of rotting leaves and darker things and up into the hills beyond it.

Higher and higher he climbed, the magicks pulling him with whispers of power and peace until finally he stumbled, exhausted, into a glade. Wisps of magic danced through the air almost as if greeting him. Knowing he had found his place to rest, he followed the half heard sounds in his head, weaving his arms in intricate spells, words he did not know, asking the earth Magicks to come to his aid.

Time passed unseen by the Hedge Wizard as the magicks wove around him. He opened his eyes finally, feeling the magic settle once more and breathed an amused laugh. Great hedges had pulled themselves from the earth to form a home for him. As he entered the filigreed iron gate the sprite he had seen earlier swirled about him before flitting off to investigate. Here was a peaceful place to rest in his travels, one with nature and the magicks of the earth.

=================
Details:
=================

Hedge Home can be found Far east of Bravil up the Panther River, Due east of Leafrot Cave. The curious may find a special hedge within the home that leads to a hidden Grotto.
Also in the grotto, there are two spots on the hedge in front of the waterfalls where you can sit but you must find them.

This home was inspired by my good friend JacktheHedge.

I created this for the Oblivion Realms Project, for use in my own realm and decided to release these as a resource as well. These ruins are meant and designed for an Oblivion Realm. A realm where it is never dark, never sees sunlight and is constantly lit by a red glow. In Oblivion, they look very different. These are not your average, drop in the forest and enjoy ruins. They require some thought and creativity to use effectively.

Note: There is NO esp. You will have to add them in the CS yourself. This is a resource, NOT a playable mod.

BurntTileSetUpdateOnly: This is to replace a couple faulty textures and fix the file paths for the Cameron's Paradise pieces. If you have already downloaded and don't want to fix those file paths yourself, simply grab the update and allow it to overwrite the originals. You can download it below this description.

TileSetUpdate02: Fixes a couple additional goofs and textures. You can download it below this description.

== Hau'oli Paena v1.0 by WhoGuru ==

In the heart of the Shivering Isles, below the towering watch of the Hill of Suicides, a small, unassuming home stands above the waters.

------------------
Once, a Blackwood artisan woman lost her way in Cyrodiil, falling to sleep beneath the worn visage of an ancient Daedra statue. She woke to find herself in the Shivering Isles, the Mad God's laughter following her as she woke and ran, thanking her for using his statue as a bed post.

For many months she wandered lost, some say mad as well as the Isles demands of all who live within them. Finally, she settled below the Hill of Suicides to watch the hapless souls above throwing themselves to their deaths. Laughing each day at each new body added to her little lake, she built a home.

A home to remind her of her beloved Leyawiin amidst the manic world she now called home. As she painstakingly hung the last woven tapestry, her hands raw from the years of work, she gave to her house an ancient southern Mer name; Hau'oli Paena. Laughing at her own whimsy, naming the house "Happy Landing", she climbed the peak of the Hill of Suicides. Standing at the top, staring down at the beautiful home she had wrought, she threw her arms wide.

Giving a laughing scream to the Mad God, she dove from the height to her Happy Landing and added her bones to those gathered along the shore and in the waters. To ever be a part of the house she had so painstakingly crafted.

This home, then, is now yours, weary and mad traveler, for you are surely as lost as she was. Be wary when you walk the waters below the deck that you may stumble on the bones of its creator and always remember to look up as you pass. You wouldn't want to join the bones for being the last landing of a fallen soul...or perhaps you would.

------------------
Hau'oli Paena is located in the Shivering Isles on the North side of the Hill of Suicides, at the base of the cliffs in an inlet of water, just South of Knife Point Hollow and East of Puddlejump Camp.

== Snow Line Lodge v1.0 ==
Located above Bruma on the snowline of the mighty Jerrals, you will find a small hunting lodge tucked atop a rise overlooking the city. Bjorn Bear-Hugger left Solstheim years ago in search of a new place to grow the fine Ice Wines of his homeland. Once only a Huntsman of some repute, he one day found himself beside the deathbed of his father, Hulfgard.

Bjorn had walked the pristine snows of Solstheim for many years, the bears he hunted his only company; the Rieklings the only unwelcome visitors to his camps. One evening as night fell and the snows shimmered red and purple across the frozen tundra, a messenger from his village found him with dire news. His father lay dying. The spectre of death had finally laid claim to him in his old age and his final wish was to see his son one last time.

Father and son had not parted on happy terms for the father had eschewed the Huntsman life of the Skaal, turning instead to the growing of grapes and making of Ice Wines. Ostracized from their own people, Bjorn fled his father's home and lost himself in the arctic wilds of Solstheim. While the son strove to be the consumate Nord Huntsman, the father became widely known for the distinctive Ice Wines he created, at odds with the traditional view of spirits of the North.

After much debate with himself, Bjorn relented and returned to the village, taking his place by his father's bed. Hulfgard spoke for many hours into the early morning, the heavy fall of snow outside making the world silent as his weak voice whispered to his son who bent close to hear each word. With the rise of the winter sun, Hulfgar was gone. His words spent and a son returned, he'd left with a sigh of happiness to join his fathers in the great Meade Hall of Sovngarde.

Bjorn strode from the warm house into the dawn snow fall and walked among the lovingly tended vines behind the house. In his hand he held a bottle of his father's work and took his first taste with his father's voice still in his mind. Hulfgard had given to his son all his knowledge of wine making, of the growing and tending of the vines and his forgiveness for leaving him all those years ago. As the sweet taste of the Ice Wine slid down his throat, a tear slid from Bjorn's eye as with that taste, he suddenly understood the passion his father had felt.

Bjorn spent several weeks planning, taking careful cuttings of the unique vines and hiring of a ship to take him from Solstheim. His father's dream had been to introduce the wine to Cyrodiil. Bjorn was nothing if not the picture of a loyal Nord and a father's dying wish was not something to be ignored. Several months of travel saw him into Cyrodiil's heartland. Standing beside the great gates of the Imperial City he spied the rise of the majestic Jerral mountains in the distance and they called to him.

It was there, on a small rise above the city of Bruma that he found a new home for the vines of his father. He built upon the spot a Lodge House beside his own cabin for he was yet a Huntsman and would not give that up. The Lodge he offers to any traveller as a respite and when he is not hunting or exchanging tales of home in Bruma with Olav, in it's cellar he perfects the recipe his father passed on to him.

Be welcome to Snow Line Lodge Traveller. Warm your thin skins by it's fires and pass the cold winter nights with a bottle of Solstheim's Finest Ice Wine.

== Valus Cottage v1.0 ==

For many tens of years, there has been a secret route between Morrowind and Cyrodiil. A route known only to the Thieves and smugglers called simply, the Thieves Highway. A tunnel cut upward through the Valus mountains themselves allowing the less savory to escape notice from border patrols, filter their stolen goods from one principality to the other and hide when their faces become too well known.

Some years ago, a particularly successful Lady Thief who had used the Thieves Highway to amass her fortune, noted the Imperial Patrols spending far too much time near the Daedra Shrine that sat so near the upper exit of the tunnel. They had obviously become suspicious and it would only be a matter of time before it was found.

Part of her success was in her anonymity. There were few her knew her real name nor to what trade she plied herself. In fact, she was considered a respectable member of society in Cyrodiil. With this in mind, she plotted a way to protect the highway. She commissioned many builders and craftsmen from across the Empire to build her a house, her mountain cottage she called it and for the nobles she oft dined with, convinced them she wanted nothing more than a retreat where she could pursue an affair untroubled by fear of discovery.

Those wealthy and gossip hungry folk were more than happy to accept her reasoning and she began construction. Keeping the entrance cleverly hid from the workers, a house was constructed into the very cliff wall of the Valus Mountains. It's only access, so far as any were concerned, a mountain path that wound up to and through the Shrine of the Daedra Lord Boethia.

It took many months to finish the cottage. Several workers fell to their deaths assembling the retaining walls that would support the house. Several more met mysterious ends in the night when they came too near a spot the Lady Thief would rather they stayed clear of.

Her time amongst the builders was not spent in idleness. She learned from them their trade, the tricks of craftsmanship. Once the cottage was complete and the last of the workers paid and on their way, she descended to the well appointed cellar. There, she used the skills she had learned to build a secret room hidden by an ingenious moving shelf designed by two fellow scoundrels, the Scourge of Borne and an enigmatic thief known only as J.D.

Though the Lady Thief has moved on to richer climbs, her cottage still stands on the side of the Valus mountains, sentinel over the high entrance to the Thieves Highway. Should you ever need a respite from authorities watchful eye, look you to the far south of Cheydinhal in the Valus Mountains. Find the ancient ruin of Hame and from there a path that will lead you on a winding trek ever higher until at last you reach Boethia's Shrine. From there, you will find your haven within arms reach.

**Location = Valus Cottage can be found very near the Shrine of Boethia in the Valus Mountains. The Cottage is South East of Cheydinhal and far East of Bravil. Nearly to the Morrowind Border. To find the Shrine and so the Cottage, start where the Corbolo River becomes the Reed and travel East to find a pass up into the mountains. Acrobatics will come in handy on this climb, it's not an easy trek. Of course, those who explore the valley below the Shrine may find another way up to the top. A hidden way. Good luck.

== Halcyon House v1.1 ==

Halcyon house is an out of the way home at the far, South-Eastern corner of Cyrodiil. She sits just off the shore on Topal Bay. To find the home, start from Leyawiin and travel East along the coast line toward Black Marsh.

A small Stable stands just on shore to shelter your mount from the elements. Inside, you'll find a cozily decorated home including dining area, living room, Master bedroom and Study. In the cellar, cleverly protected from the ocean by reef rock, is a sumptuous display area for all your shiney bits and stolen goods as well as a small guest area for any companions who may share your home with you.

Please note that Borders will need to be disabled to reach the house. In the Default ini, find this line:
bBorderRegionsEnabled

Change the 1 to a 0 and save. Your borders will now be disabled.
