Cyrodillian Sinistry, for villainous players.

I will try this baby out!

Edit 1...For awhile, I could not figure out how to open the musty door. But then I finally did. It is quite the ingenious way!

Edit 2...City Gate to Hangman's Hollow is out too far from the building wall...you can see a space behind it.

Edit 3...Once inside Hangman's Hollow, the waves of fog/rain looked kind of fake...could you redesign them better?

Edit 4...This is just my thought, but I get kind of disturbed when I see a whole bunch of dead people with ALL THE SAME ITEMS as loot. I am talking about the crusaders...maybe you could change some of the loot, so it is more unique. For instnace, give them different amount of objects, or slightly different equipment, or maybe different amount of gold.


The only option to the fog would be another one, it adds thickness, but the blood goes nuts, plus, that one is more friendly to less powerful computers.

The door is due to the beta, once done, there will be a fancy portal and such adding it, I am just addingt a random door for easy access right now.

The crusaders etc. totally know what you're talking about, I will add some random loot to each and every one of them, and pherhaps some fancy crusader oath or something aswell. Needless to say, I will add those things later, for now I am working out the interiour, which is easy, as I said: Modder's reasource.

Anyways, I got a roleplaying community to run aswell, along with my GFX, needless to say, juggling things at the moment.

It requires SE, but I'll make a non-SE version of it.

That's always so confusing since "left-handed" can be pointed at anything.

...So you mean it's for gay-communist-industrialists?

Industrialists would typically be on the right...

But sinister is Latin for left-handed. Sinistry isn't actually a word, which is fine since English is pretty flexible about making up new words like that, but since the word was made up by applying a common English suffix to a Latin root, I think of it in terms of the Latin meaning.

Of course, in Latin the word also meant what sinister does in English today, but that's because the Romans (and plenty of other early cultures besides) considered the left to be evil and the right to be good. As in, literally, your right-hand man was your best lieutenant, but a "left-hand man" would imply someone traitorous and backstabbing. People who were naturally left-handed either used their right hand anyway, or were assumed to be deceitful and disloyal. Omens that appeared to your left were bad; omens that appeared to your right were good. Et cetera.

I guess that makes sense, I mean, I'm left-handed, and there is a reason why I'm not making a "Woohoo! Let's all have shiny cupcake love!"-mod.

Still, thanks for the pointer, I always like to learn something new, but I still like how this title sounds so pseudo-intellectual.

...dang it, here I was hoping it was an animation mod to let me play left-handed.

Edit: Of course DragoonWraith beat me to the Latin lesson by several months. :lol:
