Tamriel Rebuilt
Wizards' Islands
Havish
Annastia
Ald Vendras

Go to PES and search through the "Landmass" section. Pretty easy to do :tongue:
Any dead links there can be found working at MMH.

White wolf of Lokken Mountain is on a new (although not too large) landmass. High quality with good quest.

TR
White Wolf of Lokken
Keening
Deus ex Machina
From what I remember, Havish is pretty close to Lore.


There's not that many excellent Landmass mods, especially Lore friendly ones. Many of the big quest mods that are worth playing take place on Vvardenfell.

While I know TR is kind of a standard on lore friendly modding, I haven't really heard the same for the others you mentioned. Keening City is supposed to be lore friendly yes, but I thought the others didn't really have anything to do with lore? IDK, that's what I thought. I'm also very picky when it comes to lore and mods.

Besides TR though, S:HotN and P:C have playable betas, there's also Silgrad Tower, though I've never tried it myself. Elsweyr isn't playable yet, and my Stros M'Kai isn't much besides an untextured landmass with some placeholder objects.

Regardless, I think we've listed all the playable lore-friendly landmass mods now. Though there is Woli's Solsthiem Overhaul beta, it's not a new landmass per-say, but it'll certainly give you many hours of exploration on Solsthiem. Then there's Sotha Sil expanded, which, isn't a landmass, since it's all interiors, but it's larger than Bloodmoon and is lore-friendly, soooo...

Lore friendly = it fits into the world without creating new things that wouldn't exist in Tamriel.

Since Bethesda itself constantly changes Lore, if a modder creates new Lore for a mod, I still consider it Lore friendly if it makes sense.
White Wolf of Lokken fits with the established Lore perfectly, despite being set on an island that doesn't exist in Lore.

TR is probably the only mod that "follows Lore." (besides the betas of S:HotN and P:C ) So worrying about Lore too much means you miss out on many great mods :smile:

Lokken is good. While it doesn't fit in a preexisting hole the way TR does, it is no worse than Bloodmoon itself (Solstheim never existed before Bloodmoon, and the Skaal certainly are nothing like what previous lore suggested Nords could be) and it integrates well. When you play through it, there will not be anything that clashes or jars badly; nothing that makes you think you're in Tamriel anymore. You can't say the same thing of Wizards Islands, for example (not dissing WI there, it's still a good mod).

Does Siege at Firemoth count as a landmass mod? :tongue:

This. The TG questline, in particular, is nothing short of amazing.

Depending on how crazy you want to get:

- A Call to Issilar

- Attack on Ynys Mon

- Dulsya Isle

- Inn of the Whispering Wood

- Korobal Island

- Island of Tusar

- Five Keys of Azura

- Sea of Destiny

- Sands of Time

- Veldion

- The Black Mill

- Tribute to the Community (includes Booty Island, Haldenshore, Gri-Brash Island)

- (to some degree) Beyond Ysgramor, The Black Mill, Five Toes Guild, Stanegau Island

- and though not a landmass per se, nothing ships you all over the place like The Underground

I use these along with the aforementioned WI, Silgrad Tower, White Wolf, TR Map 1, Havish, and Annastia. Some of these, WI and Dulsya Isle in particular, had to be moved. Each place has its own charm and it's a real thrill to have such variety packed into one map!
