You've beaten the world eater. You've stopped a plot to blot out the sun. You've resolved a civil war. You've liberated a settlement from a mind-controlling tyrant. However, your story continues...
The path is set for you to experience full exploration of Skyrim, where nothing is without value, every choice is a worthwhile direction to follow. Fulfill the destiny you choose for yourself. Overcome the battles you seek. Become the Champion of The Daedra!
~Prologue
Hircine, the daedric lord of the hunt, has crossed paths with another daedric lord, but one who vies for domination. Submission is the unending pursuit. And where that involves targeted individuals who wish to resist such ends, the hunt is an eventuality.
Molag Bal, the cause of the earliest vampires in Elder Scrolls history, is the unstoppable force, meeting the immovable object of Hircine's will. You have a choice to make, will you follow the path of domination, or will you revel in the thrill of the hunt? Travel to the northern edge of Skyrim, and seek out the mysteries that are now in place.
The opportunity is yours to grow, in whatever direction you see fit, and reach as high as your imagination takes you.
~Primer
This mod adds the locations Froda Dias Island and Darklight Island.
It aims to expand replayablility of Skyrim, and reduce reliance on the main questline.
The Hircine Faction is intended for Werewolves, and the Molag Bal Faction is intended for Vampires.
~About Fragments
You can make Blood Fragments or Skull Fragments. You can also collect these from dead bodies of certain enemies around Skyrim.
Having enough fragments can allow you to manufacture a Token of Molag Bal or Hircine, respectively.
Tokens can only be crafted at the correct forge or smelter.
~
Take 5 Skull Fragments to the Blood Moon Forge, to make a Token of Hircine.
Take 2 Tokens of Hircine to any Cooking Pot, to make a potion called 'Hircine's Favour'.
Consuming this potion while in Werewolf Beast Form, will accrue progress towards a Werewolf Perk, just like victim gorging.

Take 5 Blood Fragments to the Blood Chalice Smelter, to make a Token of Molag Bal.

~Collecting Fragments as Loot
Here is a list of enemies which will allow you to collect the items required for fragment crafting.
-Daedra Hearts
There are Dremora Soldiers at various points of interest in Skyrim, such as religious altars. They have been marked on your map as 'Dremora Challenges'.
-Human Hearts
Hagravens remove human hearts from the Forsworn, and replace them with Briarhearts, to create Briarheart Warriors.
You will find Hagravens in various Forsworn occupied locations.
-Bonemeal
Draugr and Skeleton lairs tend to be a hotspot for locating Bonemeal. You can craft Bonemeal from either a Human Skull (= 2 Bonemeal), Troll Skull/Horker Tusk (= 5 Bonemeal) or Dragon Skull (= 20 Bonemeal) at any Smelter.
-Mammoth Tusks
Giant Camps are a recommended place to find Mammoths.
When you visit a Giant Camp, consider taking some of their Mammoth Cheese.
~Mammoth Cheese - for making 'Giantisma'
To make this type of food at any cooking pot, you will require the following ingredients:
1 x Mammoth Cheese Bowl
1 x Elsweyr Fondue
1 x Lavender

Magicka and Stamina will regenerate 75% faster, and it also fortifies both Magicka and Stamina by 100 points for 8 hours.
~The Dicethrower
You have been given a ship, called 'The Dicethrower'. You will find this ahead of the Stone of Choosing. There is a Security Guard who will protect you as a visitor to Froda Dias Island. You can find safe storage inside the ship's hull.
Near the ship is a Dwarven Teleporter. It can take you to each of the Stewards of each hold, in order to allow you to obtain radiant quests conveniently. If they have none available, visit the inns of Skyrim's major holds, and look for a potion of 'Arcane Tonic'. Pouring some of this will activate a spell which takes you to each of the inns of the major holds, to allow you to obtain radiant quests from Innkeepers.
~Other Rewards
Taking 10,000 Skull Fragments to the Blood Moon Forge (or Blood Fragments to the Blood Chalice Forge), will allow you to craft a special artifact, which will activate one of the following combat class benefits:
