Overview


Beyond the Firmament is a quest mod that mixes adventure with cosmic horror. It adds a large amount of content to Edwinna's Mages Guild questline in Ald-ruhn. After completing her task in Bethamez and reaching the rank of Wizard, return to her to begin building a crew for the newly constructed starship, the Galerion.


Considerations

This mod is quite challenging, and isn't recommended for any character below level 15.

Starting from version 1.2, you will need to merge your levelled lists.

Starting from version 1.3, players have access to two different ending scenarios. Choosing a certain path provides the player with scripted abilities (which one should be obvious). You'll find a spoiler-heavy rundown of those abilities on the forum tab.

I don't recommend updating to a new version on an ongoing save. If you encounter a problematic bug on an earlier version, let us know and we'll try to help you resolve it.

Using the "scripted music uninterruptible" option from Morrowind Code Patch will give you a more immersive music experience.


Known Issues

A strange collision issue has been reported in the final battle specifically on OpenMW version 0.48. Using 0.49 should resolve the problem.

Nordic Dagon Fel - Fenrir will be floating outside the interior space.

Caldera Governer's Mansion - Elwe will be hidden in the turrets geometry.
