Argonia

This project is aimed to create the lands south of the Morrowind Mainland, known by mer as Argonia, by men as Black Marsh. The first release, and the focus of this particular thread is that of the Geenway Coast.

Argonia is being designed with a few things in mind. If Morrowind is the land of the Weird, then Argonia should be the land of Disgust. The plants hunt you just as the creatures do, the land can swallow you up or freeze your motion. It is hoped that Argonia will be able to be constructed to make the player feel that everything in the marshes are the predators and the player is the prey.

This mod will not at anytime break lore. It will however, construct its own lore for things not defined by Bethesda.

What the project on a whole will include-

-All of the land that occupies Argonia.

-Brand new cities, from Archon to Gideon, from Soulrest to Stormheld.

-Brand new creatures

-Brand new terrain, not seen in vanilla Morrowind

-Billboarded trees

-High Res textures

-Custom created models for near all things including brand new Architecture

-Optional grass and ferns

-Deadly flora

-New means of travel, such as "Riding the Roots"

-Many, many more highly imaginative

What the first release will include-

-A green coastal region.

-Jagged black boulders and cliffs of various height

-Tall, skinny trees that provide nothing from the constant rain

-A failed attempt at a colony by Imperials

-Two villages ofthe native Argonians

-The dark port city of Soulrest

-New architecture for all the cities

-Several new plants

Just to note-Ive heard several times this is too much work and is impossible, since you now know that I know that, please refrain from posting those types of things here unless you are going to share secrests with how to speed this up.

I don't play Morrowind, but I think this looks very nice

I do hope you continue this, the land really does look like swamps

Really intriguing work, ZackG. I look forward to seeing more. I've been deep into Morrowind lately, and welcome more content like this- it really keeps the game alive. Keep it up.

Thank you to everybody above for showing interest! =-).

Yes the Dark Brotherhood will be made in the project, in a more prominent way then other TES games. Im not sure the specifics as I type this, but I do know that all Argonians born in a certain month (probably the month under the thief constellation) are automatically in the Dark Brotherhood. They are taken very young and sent somewhere to train. Ill have to get those detail ironned out before I implement the Darkbrotherhood in my game though.

Any Argonian born under the sign of the Shadow are taken at birth and presented to the Dark Brotherhood, they are then sent to training for their childhood years, when they come of age they join the Dark Brotherhood as Shadowscales. :crybaby:

Also, Glaedr, our Argonian genius, will be back in a month or so, he knows all about the Argonians [they're tribes, traditions, ect.], so when he comes back he can help you with plenty of helpful information. :no:
