About this mod
Have you ever walked trough the Labyrinthian while doing the College of Winterhold quest and wondered on how no one re-settled the place after so much time? The place is situated between Solitude and Whiterun, two of the most economically influential place in Skyrim, it would seem only logical that someone would take control of this place!

Welcome, dear Arch-mage, the city of Bromjunaar is yours to command!
This mod is the result of nearly four years of tireless work, starting from a growing frustration towards the lack of mod for the Labyrinthian area. I have finally decided to learn to mod from scratch and to make a city for mages!
Explanation
Explanation
Why a city for mages you ask? Well, since the location is an essential place for the College of Winterhold, and since the reward for completing the College's quest is so meager and underwhelming, I've decided to make the completion of the College's quest much more rewarding (I mean, a city is a pretty big prize right?)
So I've made a second College inside the Labyrinthian and added a whole city outside it under your control to truly make it seem like you have progressed as a mage, after all, Arch-mage Shalidor made Winterhold with a "whispered spell", so why can't you try to acheive the same thing when you achieve mastery of the magical arts?

The mod adds a whole new questline so that when you finish the College of Winterhold storyline you will get to go on one final quest beyond Tamriel to make you a true Arch-mage. Upon the completion of the quest, the city will apparate after a lenghty and arduous ritual and will be yours to "rule" (Important note: you are NOT a Jarl, you are still the Arch-mage of the College, so the ruler of the city and nothing more). By your actions, you will bring forth the specters of the past to defend the city: the past denizens from the First Era, and garner the interest of some other unkown forces...
Of course, the College of Winterhold is in itself no country or political entity, and so not wanting to become enraptured into the civil war or the general power struggle, the College has put out rules pertaining the City of Bromjunaar.
The city, as you may have guested, is designed to be a haven for mages, replicating in some way the Island of Artaeum where the Psijic Order reside or the island of Eyevea.
Features
Of course, mages also often include priests, the city house 3 temples (Mara, Arkay and Akatosh) and 6 shrines (Dibella, Zenithar, Stendar, Julianos, Kynareth, Talos ) so, many faithful flock to the city in hope of attaining holy insight or just to find a place to pray peacefully.
There is 6 houses, 1 alchemist shop, a market with 6 merchants (jewelry, weapons and armor, alchemist, magic items, food and a general good trader), 1 blacksmith, 1 small dungeon, 1 Inn, 1 Palace (yours), 1 jail and 1 mage College (located in the old labyrinthian).
A council of professors was also appointed by the College to assist you with your work, being an adventurer, a headmaster was chosen also to conduct the day-to-day affairs while you are busy exploring.
Classes are now given according to the schedule found in the Archmage Palace bedroom, and the council of professor meet at your Palace every week-end.
There is around 100 npcs, over 190 voicelines done trough XVASynth2. The quest for it's part was made using AI voices trough ElevenLabs.
The quest to acquire the city will bring you to other realm outside of the world of Skyrim, since there is not just one quest but many inside of it, I estimate it should take 1 to 2 hours to complete it.
Installation
Manually: put all of the files into your Skyrim/Data folder.
Or
Install with your mod manager of choice (Nexus, Vortex, Mo2 etc).
How to start the quest
You will have to finish the College to access the new quests but you can download the mod at the start of your game, it won't (shouldn't) conflict with the College's questline.
If you have already finished the quest, simply travel to the Hall of the Elements in the College of Winterhold to trigger the letter. Travel to any hold city to have it delivered to you.
Recommendations
SE Users: since version 2.0.0 onward is compatible with AE and not SE, you need to download Backported Extended ESL Support and install it alongside my mod for it to work.
Quicksave and quickload once you have completed the ritual if the voicelines do not play.
If you have some visual bugs (such as mountains disappearing, etc.) i'd advise running Dyndolod
If you are stuck during the quest "Unison of Insight", try reloading to an earlier quicksave or quicksaving and quickloading.
