This is the English translation of the mod Orden des Drachen, which was written and released in German by Rung, Diener RE, Ryan, Lazarus, and Katan. It encompasses 72+ hours of gameplay, over 100 quests, hundreds of NPCs with full voice-acting, and an entirely new desert realm. It is voiced in German; there are no plans to make an English version of the voice-acting.
Have you already left Cyrodiil behind?
Then you do not know what happened after the death
of the Emperor's son, do you?
The Oblivion gates are closed, the Amulet of Kings
shattered, but the Empire is not saved. Rebels
spread fear and terror in the counties of Cyrodiil.
Meanwhile, talk about the old sword prophecy is
getting ever louder.
Will the hero of Kvatch again prove worthy and
be able to save the Empire from chaos?
REQUIREMENTS: You need a playable install of Oblivion and the official 1.2 patch: http://www.elderscrolls.com/downloads/updates_patches.htm. This mod does not require OBSE or any DLCs.
It is available from the following sites: http://www.theassimilationlab.com/forums/files/file/955-order-of-the-dragon-ev/, http://www.darkcreations.org/forums/files/file/910-order-of-the-dragon-ev/, http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/45258
As soon as they straighten things out over at TES Alliance, I'll upload it there too.
The English version has only the esp and video files - you must download the BSA from one of the German sites:

THE 2014 VERSION (AND THE ENGLISH VERSION) ARE NOT COMPATIBLE WITH ANY PREVIOUS VERSION OF ORDER OF THE DRAGON!
GAME START
Once you have received the Imperial Dragon Armor after finishing the original game's main quest, head to a town outside of the Imperial City.
CONFLICTS/COMPATIBILITY
This mod mostly takes place in Mephala's Realm, which is its own worldspace, so there shouldn't be any major conflicts.
* There is a very minor conflict with Better Cities; ODD places a manor in the IC Green Emperor Way, and some of the bushes along one of the streets clip into the walls. It has been judged not worth a patch.
If you find other conflicts, let me know and I can make a patch. If you want to make one yourself, feel free - just give me a link so I can post it for others to find.
KNOWN ISSUES
Since this is the first English version, there are probably still some typos, grammatical errors, etc. I tried my best to find and fix them after I was done, but I'm sure a few slipped through nonetheless. Additionally, Google Translate saw fit to add invisible characters that show up as ?? in plaintext. If you find any, please let me know so I can fix them.
Be sure to the visit the ODD Wiki, hosted by Dark Creations: http://www.darkcreations.org/orden-des-drachen/wiki/Main_Page It is still a work in progress, so be patient.

Big thanks to Ryan for letting me translate this, and for helping me out with questions and translating German slang.
