Xayden's Tale – Skyrim Mod
Xayden's Tale is a modification that I and my cousin are planning for when the construction kit releases. We hope to expand on the game, adding an alternate storyline along with new weapons, characters, places to visit and much more.
- Story Overview -
The mod is an additional storyline for Skyrim. You play the role of Xayden, a traveller from Tamriel. You are travelling looking for work when you are told of the current dragon war happening in Skyrim.
You also hear of the Dragonborn (The player from the original storyline from Skyrim) and his fight against Alduin. There is another Dragon however, Alduins brother, Balkraun. He is working alongside a dark warlord named Averaith, gathering an army to leave Skyrim and take over Tamriel. Averaith holds the power to control dragons and an army of Daedric summoned soldiers.
The quest involves Xayden and his companion Vinesta and their journey to defeat Balkraun and his master, Averaith, to stop the invasion of Tamriel.
- Dragon Soul Spells -
As the player is not Dragonborn and doesn't have access to Dragon Shouts, we are including spells which help out balance the lack of shouts. You will find these spells around Skyrim, like the Shouts. We hope to use the dragon souls from slain dragons to enable the spells.
Tides of retreat. (Causes nearby dragon's to flee)
Harrowing Taunt. (Summons/Brings dragons closer to battle)
Soul Drainer (Damages the Dragon's Magicka)
Grounded (Forces the dragon to land, much like Dragonrend.)
Any ideas on these spells would be helpful!
- New Towns -
Thyrion
This is the main town where Xayden starts off in. It's located on the outskirts of Skyrim. It contains the Rangers guild and will contain a variety of shops and (maybe) a purchasable house.
Fargard
This town is the capital of the Pirates guild. It'll contain a port (which hopefully the ability to travel inbetween towns via rivers), along with shops.
- New Guilds -
Pirates Guild
The pirates guild will be based in Fargard. It will hopefully include a port and a number of side quests which will unlock companions and other helpful things to aid with the storyline. The pirates guild are rivals with the Rangers guild, much like how the Imperial Legion and the Stormcloaks are at war.
Rangers Guild
The rangers guild are based in Thyrion. This is where you will meet Vinesta, the secondary character that will be with you for the main quest. It's a secret guild that you have to earn your way into by trust. You will have to complete a series of tests to be allowed entry. This is where you learn about Alduins brother.
__________________________________________
I'm in the process of writing the storyline for the mod. Any input from you guys would be great! We're planning on releasing it for those who have had enough of being Dragonborn and wish to have another adventure in the lands of Skyrim
