About This File

This revision adds Part V to this creature-themed quest and follower mod for male and female PCs, voiced with xVASynth. Version 0.5 continues the adventures of Tirwin and the PC, taking them on wilderness adventures, to the College of Winterhold, into dark dungeons, and far beyond Skyrim. Includes five new books and creatures, several new locations, new spells, new NPCs, more repeatable events, and a study for Tirwin. Version 0.55 includes revisions for voice file generation.    

 

IMPORTANT!!!: Includes a new animation - Run GenerateFNISforUsers or the equivalent! 

 

A novice scholar from Alinor in the Summerset Isles seeks your assistance in recovering a series of books with forbidden knowledge about the creatures of Tamriel. Although ordered destroyed by a former Arch Mage, the former College librarian could not bring herself to destroy any book, and instead scattered them in hiding places across Skyrim and beyond. The young High Elf scholar seeks the knowledge in the books to improve her chances of admission to the Altmer College of the Sapiarchs. She also seeks protection from wild creatures as well as protection from the Thalmor that seek any means to discredit her family.

 

To Start the Quest:

 

Enter the main area of the Bannered Mare in Whiterun and listen to the conversation between two elves. Your PC will be approached by the High Elf after the conversation. (If the scene doesn't start for any reason, talk to the High Elf.)

 

To Continue the Quest:

 

If you already completed Parts I, II, III or IV of the quest, you can continue with Tirwin's quests by asking her about the next book. If you are starting a new profile and wish to skip over quests previously played, you can do so via dialogue with Tirwin after you are initially recruited by her in the Bannered Mare.

 

Important Note on Castle Volkihar Stages of Mod:

 

The stages of the mod that take you to Castle Volkihar (the stages directly after the "Chase" quest), can be run before or after Dawnguard, but not during Dawnguard. To be precise, it's OK if Dawnguard has started, but once you have visited the Castle Volkihar island, don't run the Castle Volkihar stages of this mod until after you have finished the Kindred Judgement quest (i.e., killed Harkon). 

 

Tirwin's Outfit System:

 

After the dog quest, you can give Tirwin a new outfit. Currently, her outfit system works correctly only if she has the one new outfit in her inventory. When using the dialogue to give her a new outfit, you should remove any other outfit pieces in her inventory other than the new outfit you wish her to wear.

Known Conflicts:

 

  • True Directional Movement - will interfere with a quest in this mod that changes player controls
  • Aroused Creatures - while not strictly incompatible, mods like Aroused Creatures that can generate random sex encounters should be disabled while on Tirwin's quests because they can interfere with scripted animal encounters
