Mansion of Champions

NEW VERSION October 2011
Cleaned with TESEdit
New Dialogue!
New Factions! Become the leader of the League of Champions
New Spells!
NO MORE PENTAGRAMS!
Over 100 scripts!
Almost 200 lines of intriguing dialogue!
Major New Quest: Apotheosis, the Path to Godhood
New NPC's, including an NPC the likes of which you have never before seen in Oblivion or anywhere else!!!!!!!!
All meshes and textures included and working
Pathgrids, placements, lights, scripts, and stats have all been examined and, when needed, improved.
There are no godlike items here. You can gain some pretty good temporary bonuses once a day and you can also risk getting "cursed" for even better bonuses by

experimenting with the alchemy vat and Ayleid spell book.
There are so many major and minor changes to make things more entertaining, interesting, and most importantly, functional, that I can't even remember them

all, but the readme below will reflect much of it.
There's probably MUCH MORE than the description below states. There is so much, I can't keep up with it all!!!


WARNING: This mod is for high level characters. Yes there is a lot of loot and items that could give you the upper hand if used correctly, but if you are

already level 25+, then you probably already have access to such items and riches anyway, so it is not a cheat mod. You will NOT be able to win the mansion

with a low-level character and if you are about level 20 or so, you will need help from companions. Have fun and good luck, you'll probably need it.
PLUS, most of the magic-related goodies are completely random. This means that when you use certain items, whether it's talking to the preserved head of a

sorcerer or reading a forgotten tome of Ayleid spells, you have a chance of either gaining something a powerful spell or ability or being hurt in some awful

and horrendous way.


MANSION OF CHAMPIONS

BACKSTORY
You have heard in your travels that there is a person who is desparately waiting to seeking a hero in Skingrad. He's waiting at the West Weald Inn around

lunchtime every day and then wanders the city other times. When you arrive there, you meet a mage named Jun Septim who tells you that he needs your help and

he offers you something far beyond your wildest dreams in return. It seems that he is of the Septim line and also the current owner of the magical Mansion of

Champions, a magical place that was created in a forgotten age by a powerful emperor and a great wizard. It is a portable mansion that is as luxurious and

spacious as the Imperial Palace, but it can only be entered and exited through magical means.
Jun inherited the mansion from Cyrodiil's greatest architect, SIETSE, and has spent a lot of time, energy, magic and money renovating it to his tastes. He is

no emperor, but he is a powerful wizard in his own right. Furthermore, he was head of a great group of heroes called the League of Champions. With them, he

was responsible for destroying more evil in Cyrodiil than anyone in the last fifty years. Trouble reared its ugly head, however, when necromancy was banned

by the Mages' Guild. Jun's apprentice, Agrippa, was a necromancer, and so was his friend, the newest member of the team, Aleister. The league was torn on

whether to continue allowing necromancy to be practiced in its ranks. As months passed, the members began deciding that it was a useful skill for their

purposes, but Jun absolutely forbade it. Although the League was always a democracy, Jun was the leader and he threatened to expel the instigators from the

mansion. Agrippa left the mansion in anger and the other members started to settle down, though they did not appreciate Jun's sudden overturning in their

democratic ideals.
No one realized, however that Agrippa was far more powerful than he let on, for had obtained the secret to lichhood. Exactly thirteen days from the time he

left, Agrippa returned, furious and undead. He charmed and rallied the other members, and together, they fought and defeated Jun, expelling him from the

mansion.
Now, Jun wants you to take back the mansion from his traitorous friends. He wants you to kill them all. As a reward, the mansion shall be yours. The shock

and dismay of the betrayal still weighs heavily on his heart and he has no desire to return to it. He wishes only to see justice (or revenge) and to pass it

on to a worthy adventurer who will perform this deed.
NEW: Jun will recognize everytime you defeat one of his former companions and may even give you a little help along the way if you go back to him each time.

for messing with such power.

Thoth, which talks about the emerald. See below in the section marked APOTHEOSIS.

per day, they need time to grow back.
-Another of DIANNE'S fine thrones and this one is imbued with great crystal power. These restore your magic when you touch them.

REMEMBER: As you experiment with the items in the Wizard's Tower, you may be given a nice little enhancement of some kind, or you may suffer some sort of

malady when it goes wrong. The Spoilers text has information on what could happen to you if you do not like surprises.

WARRIOR'S TRAINING CHAMBER
-A large raised dais in the center of the room with many floor buttons. Each of these buttons summons up a random monster, but they are divided into monster

types. There is one for undead, one for daedra, one for mythical, etc. These work off of the Levelled Lists, so that means you can even fight creatures from

WAC, MMM, OOO, or any other mod that alters the Levelled Lists.
-An Altar of Healing that you can use as much as you want and there is an Altar of Protection that will give you 100% Resist Normal Weapons and 100% Resist

Magic so you can train without having to worry about dying, such a pesky irritation for heroes.
-If you just want to watch your companions fight, or may pit one set of creatures against another, there is an altar that bestows 100% chameleon and

invisibility so you can quietly sit on your throne and watch the action.
-A ladder that leads you to a safe spot up on a high dais where you can also summon creatures to fight each other for you.
-There are some respawning weapon racks here, as well.

THIEVES' DEN
-Secret Room
-Stolen treasure including the Imperial Crown Jewels. Crafted many years ago for the Imperial line by KHUGAN, these exquisite pieces of work are some of the

most valuable things in Cyrodiil. There is a crystal crown, a sceptre, and some gold chalices. They went missing years ago, thanks to Cheney, and no one

knows he did it, not even Jun! They are so valuable and so well known, however, that you may be hard pressed to sell them.
-One chest is packed full with disguises. Wear one and people will associate you with that particular faction. Disguise yourself as one of the Imperial

Legion, a town guard, a bandit, a conjurer or any other useful faction.
-There are also some special locked chests in here that relock after you pick them so you may practice your burglary skills.

ASSASSIN'S LAIR
This is the resting spot for Chaostica, the half-argonian assassin of the League. It includes a leather couch and chair, fireplace, and table. Chaostica

likes the Gothic look, so he purchased some Gothic supplies crafted by GIZMODIAN, including dragon candle-holders, tall candle holders, and other cool stuff.

His favorite item, however, will meet you as you enter the room. It is a statue of a Manticore, a creature that has a lion's body, a human-beast head, bat

wings and a scorpion tail. It was specially crafted by VFB so that when you press a secret button, the statue opens up before you revealing a button. Push

the button and you will be taken to Chaostica's secret room!

ASSASSIN'S SECRET ROOM
This is the assassin's real room, built without Jun's knowledge after he joined the League. Here, he has is a cabinet that spawns poisoned food for you, but

not just apples, there are meats, vegetables, cheeses, and others, as well. He has some comfortable furniture and his own statue of the Lucky Old Lady. You

can make poisons with his special equipment and keep them in the poison shelves he put up.

DISPLAY ROOMS
There are two large display room s for your treasures. These include several vanilla display cases, plus some carried over from WILLYSEA'S Ancient Towers,

made specially for bows, swords and other pieces. There are pedestals for your mannequins and many other places to show of your loot.

GARDENS
You step out of the Mansion to a beautiful garden island. Immediately before you lies a path that circles the isle and ahead you see a veranda where you can

sit and look at the scenic veiw. This ramada is furnished with specially constructed furniture created by the Elven crafter CSS 0101. There is also a

telescope crafted by STOTIS that overlooks the sea. When you activate it, you will get your horoscope from the stars. This will tell you what kind of day

you are about to have, maybe it will be lucky (Luck bonus), good for buying or selling (Mercantile bonus), unlucky, (Luck penalty), low energy, (Fatigue

penalty), or one of many other possible horoscopes that will last throughout your day.
The path takes you to the Warrior's Training Chamber, but along the way you will cross quaint bridges and view abundunt flora and fauna. Watch out, some

creatures might not be so nice. Many have escaped the Training Chamber and now roam the once peaceful island. Note that these spawn from Levelled Lists, so

if you have modded monsters, you can meet them here, as well.

NEW QUEST: APOTHEOSIS
New in this mod is the quest for apotheosis, an act of becoming a god or goddess. It is not a quest with stages, but is instead accomplished through

completing certain vanilla quests and repenting for any evil deeds your character may have committed in an act of purification.
On a table in the Wizard's Chamber, read the Book of Thoth for some background and then activate the Emerald Tablet beside it. You will likely come upon a

message telling you that you do not meet a certain requirement. There are a LOT of requirements to achieve godhood, so you will have to complete each one

before moving on. This is a purification process for your character, for only those possessed of Divine virtues can achieve a Divine status. The Tablet is

not always black and white about what you need to do, but there are hints in the Book of Thoth (and the Spoilers).
Once you complete your purification, someone or something will appear. This Manifestation will be like nothing you ever seen before. Do not adjust your
monitor when it appears...
This being will offer you the Philosopher's Stone, the key to immortality. This item gives you great power for as long as you have it. You will also be able

to choose what kind of god you wish to be, with your choice granting you a specific set of natural abilities.
As a deity, most people will recognize you as such, but some won't. Maybe they don't like any new upstarts in the Nine Divines, or maybe they haven't
heard the word yet. Some may pray to you, and you can bless them according to your sphere of influence, or, should someone anger you, you may
curse them in order to get them to learn a lesson.
Just so I don't disappoint you, I will tell you that you cannot become a god of war or have control of any thing that is already ruled by a divine or
daedra. There are four choices, and each one fills a niche that I think is empty. I tried to cover all the lore to make sure I wasn't doubling up by
making you god of the sky like Kynareth or assassins like Nocturnal.
If you manage to obtain the Philosopher's Stone, hold onto it, for it is the key to your godhood. Should you ever set it down, you will lose your divine

nature forever and reassume a mortal's struggle. Would there be any reason you would ever want to do this? Perhaps, there is...
