Shadow of Aetherius by Billyfighter
Meet an adventurer on a pilgrimage in the Fields of Kummu, and begin a quest that travels through Vvardenfell, Solstheim and Aetherius. The quest is designed to pan out through a full play though experience. Starting from an early, low level character, then the next steps pacing through exploration, in Vvardenfell, then eventually finding your way to Solstheim and the higher level dangers it entails. The mod can be started and finished at any time, assuming you have the skills to finish high level content at around level 20.
This mod brings lots of brand new content to steal enjoy. New floating ice islands, crystals, and sitting animations! Any of these assets are free to use in other mods. I took some of these as well as some lore/ideas from my game coming out on Steam, Dreamspring. Please give it a wishlist!
If you want to see more, let me know in the comments. I had more planned, and I do want to make this companion much more useful.
This mod is part of the 2025 Winter Modjam and made within 48 hours. The themes were: Pre-existing characters (I had big plans for this at the end, but scrapped due to time. I suppose using the Imperial Legion as a quest stage will have to do) Solstheim (Middle of the questline. Has new floating islands, avoiding lots of compatibility issues.) Tribunal Temple Pilgrimages (First half of the quest) Will of the Aedra (Last half of the quest)
