Gwendragon - Skyrim SE mods

Hello, I'm Gwendragon, the mod author of Lion Thane Stronghold, a Player Home modification for The Elder Scroll V, Skyrim Special Edition. 

About my mod: discover the secret of Lion Stronghold and banish the evil from Lion Castle to gain the ownership of the old property of Lady Arabelle Devoux, one ancestor of your grandmother, and with it the title of Lion Thane. A lore-friendly connection with the late Second Era of Tamriel lies under the history of Lion Stronghold: the history of the vile alchemist Arkasis, the old Jarl of Whiterun, and Lady Arabelle Devoux and her fiction alter ego, Investigator Vale, all reported in the novel The Hounds of Black Moor.


Description of Lion Thane Strongold mod for Skyrim SE

In the year 2E 577, the city of Whiterun experienced a period of intense fear. It was besieged by deranged outsiders and howling wolves during the night, leading to a series of mysterious disappearances. The situation escalated when a member of the Battle-Born clan was discovered naked, drenched in blood, amidst dead livestock on the grounds of the Gray-Mane estate. This triggered a conflict, almost resulting in accusations of lycanthropy and a potential execution, until Lady Arabelle Devoux who at the time was in Skyrim, intervened and resolved the crisis. Shortly thereafter, the Jarl of Whiterun and the court alchemist disappeared, fueling suspicions of a conspiracy against the prominent families. The newly appointed Jarl, Morryn, designated the court alchemist, Arkasis, as a formidable enemy. According to the "Chronicler-at-Large," Adandora, there is a theory suggesting that the enigmatic figure who resolved the case was Lady Arabelle Devoux, the real person behind the fictional Investigator Vale and that the narrative was later adapted into an adventure novel titled "The Hounds of Black Moor." Jarl Morryn appointed Lady Arabelle as Lion Thane, giving her land and castle, which she named Lion Stronghold, in honor of the Lion Guard of High Rock, among which she had militated. Eventually, Lady Arabelle had to hurry back to High Rock for an unknown reason, and the Lion Castle was cursed by the vile alchemist Arkasis. Will you rescue Lion Stronghold from that evil?
