You'll be able to join the 'Direnni Faction' in the sense that you can become a Retainer of Clan Direnni, however you won't be able to ascend rank, or become 'the leader', as the Clan is a family (a quite large and extended one at that) and because of this there usually isn't a set 'Leader' (unless there is war, which hasn't happened for thousands of years, since High Rock was unified under the Clan, lead by http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Aiden_Direnni#Aiden_Direnni (though this was 'lead into battle', Ryan/Ryian Direnni and Raven Direnni were also working behind the scenes, they worked as a Family rather than a strict Leadership) into war allied with the http://www.imperial-library.info/mwbooks/wulfharthsongs.shtml and http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:The_Last_King_of_the_Ayleids, against the Alessian Empire at http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:First_Era#1E_482), (though there would usually be a Patriarch and Matriarch of the Clan) -someone outside of the Clan remains only a Retainer (which can be in the form of Sorcerors, Knights, Messangers, House Servants, etc), an Advisor at best (the most well known Retainer of Clan Direnni being http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Battlespire:Harvest%27s_End,_3E_172) unless they marry into the Clan (or by similar means, like adoption, etc)).
So the player will be able to do a couple of quests for the Direnni, in a round-about faction-like way, and the Direnni will have an intimate involvement in the politics of High Rock, however the Clan won't operate like The Mages Guild, or a Great House like in Morrowind




Sweet as Mr Siika, they look great

The province is improving second by second...

Made ahttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4aMM3XlRt8 to show the village tileset. Enjoy

damn it siika, youre too awesome. those models look like they were in the game all along.

Much kudos to you, mr_siika :goodjob: Great looking architectures design as always :clap:

They look great, I've been trying them out in mock-up versions of Shornhelm, and they are perfect Awesome work!

Glad you like them. Hope you also like the first screenshot of two meshes for http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z133/mr_siika/Highrock/daggerfall01.jpg.
There are actually two seperate houses in that picture.
My goal is to create a city tileset that does not rely on free-standing houses like vanilla cities. Instead, houses should be organized in blocks, flanking the streets.
Not sure if is possible though, but I'll try

They look amazing!

amazing indeed. Very medieval.

Yes that's perfect! Also by doing that it allows for us to pack in more housing, and still keeping in line with the scale Oblivion set for city size! I can't wait for this architecture to be finished, you're definetly a huge help to the mod!

Might I ask when the resource pack will be up? Sorry If Its been answered.

I sure hope it is possible! In the mean time...BRING ME AN AMBER LAMPS...

Love the the design of the new houses, very medieval feel to it. :thumbsup:
Thank you again mr_siika :foodndrink:

Trying to get it up asap, the problem with the resource pack is that Deeza oringinally made it and forgot to set the paths properly when he organised the file structure, so I've had to go back and change everything, which is rather annoying as you might imagine.

Oh yes... That does sound rather tedious.

The video of the High Rock tileset is very impressive. Hats off to mr_siika.

Thanks to all of you! I won't have much time this week, but afterwards I'll continue with full speed.


That's good to hear
I'm also very excited myself about this "experiment". If it succeeds, "realistic" medieval cities will finally be possible in Oblivion.

Well, technically it should be possible, what your doing is very similar to how the city architecture in F3 works, and even then it's not that far off how Skingrad's architecture works (however, your 'experiment' should prove to be of much higher quality than Skingrad).

:shocking: Wow...

Mr Siika, you never cease to amaze!

Indeed, without you a very large number of mods I konw of would either cease to exsist or be sub par as apposed to brilliant.

Thanks mr siika!

Just remember that if it succeeds, you will also be forced by the community to update all vanilla cities to this new standard... :twirl:

I saw this project while ago and the progress since then is looking very good! The mod is looking amazing now that Mr. Siika is involved. I will be keeping a close eye on this one.

That tileset video gave me a completely Dagon Fel vibe. In all those wonderful ways.


Keep up the most excellent work!

I've done this, and now LOD remains, but no land data/limited land data :shrug:


And the resource file has reached a state where it can be used for modding, so if for any modders on the mod, please post saying that you still plan to finish your claim, and I'll send you out a link to the resource file (which is uploaded privately -a modder's only download atm).
