Description
===================
For more than a hundred years, the monument of Balemero has stood strong in the mountains on the east border of Cyrodiil. But it has also held a dark secret; under its holy structure lies an Undercroft where a treasure more valuable than gold lies. Many brave adventurers have attempted to slay the massive monster that guards it, but none have prevailed. Will you rise to the challenge? Will you claim the treasure that so many have failed to?
This mod adds a new village in the mountain ranges, eight new unique NPCs who live in Silvercliff, the town built around Balemero, a new trainer and several vendors, as well as a new Inn in town. The main quest features 3+ hours of solid gameplay, new monsters and new places, and a brand new sword and two sets of armor that are well worth playing for. Just keep this in mind: Choose wisely; for when you make your final choice, it cannot be changed.
Location
===================
The quest will be started on game load, and an initial quest marker will be placed in Silvercliff, the quest's start point.
Details
===================
Quest Markers:
If you truly want to enable quest markers (or are stuck in the quest and need a hint), open the console and type: set SCShowQM to 1
To disable the markers, open the console and type: set SCShowQM to 0
Requirements
===================
Oblivion Patch 1.2.0.214
OBSE version 0018b2 or higher (0020 preferred) from http://obse.silverlock.org/
Elys' Universal Silent Voice: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=16622 (Not *required*, per se, but it will make the dialog MUCH better.)
It will save you some time if you can read Daedric, however it is not required.
Logic and puzzle-solving ability are probably a good idea, but again, not required.
Install
===================
1. Back up your saves -- this is just a golden rule! Better safe than sorry.
2. Copy the *.esp and *.bsa files to your Oblivion Data folder.
3. Enable the mods using Wrye Bash or OBMM (recommended!) or the Oblivion Launcher.
4. Play Oblivion using OBSE.
Uninstall
===================
Make sure you have saved outside of a quest-related area. The Market of the Imperial City is a good place.
Delete the *.esp and *.bsa files associated with this mod.
Upgrade
===================
If upgrading from a previous version, just overwrite the *.bsa and *.esp files with the upgraded versions. A fresh save should not be required, as this would reset quest progress.
Incompatibility
===================
This mod will most likely not conflict with any mod out there. However, if you are extremely paranoid about conflicts, read below... however, it contains spoilers that could ruin the authenticity of the quest for you, so do so at your own risk.
