Note: I know this is a RELz thread, but I will wait to put up a download link until I get LOD Objects working. Check below in the Help Request section if you can and want to help me out here.
DESCRIPTION
This mod enables you to travel beyond the borders of Skyrim and venture into the harsh mountain kingdom of Orsinium, that the Orcs call their home. Orsinium is nothing like Skyrim. Where the Nords live in snowy
pine forests, the Orcs dwell in a desert-like valley, surrounded by jagged mountains and the occasional tropical oasis. The tall mountains surrounding Orsinium shield it from the cold winds, making it
habitable to many of the dangerous creatures of Hammerfell. So beware the wilderness!
Travelling to Orsinium City itself, situated ontop a central mountain in the valley, is not automatically safer, though. The Orcs are not very hospitable to outsiders. The city is ruled by King Gortwog, who is protected by
his elite Honor Guards. Orsinium City has an arena pit. Much of the city consists of ancient, withering structures; a remnant from the time when Yokudans inhabited the valley.
Other places of note in Orsinium are Dunhoff, a mining colony, and Fang Lair, an ancient Dwarven mine. There is also a small orc stronhold, Snow-Hearth, located far up in the mountains.
Plenty of old Yokudan ruins also dot the valley and are the home of pariah bandits and the feared Dune Wraiths. Rumor has it that Orsinium City is actually built on top of an ancient Yokudan temple complex.
The Orsinium Valley features a few different landscapes. You can find snowy mountains, redwood forests, deserts, rocky badlands, a tropical oasis, savannas and pine forests.
Various creatures not seen in Skyrim live in the valley. Some of these are: lumbering Mountain Lizards, deadly Ungulants and bloodthirsty Harpies.
Good things to know: King Gortwog has banned the worship of Malacath and reinstated Trinimac as the chief Orcish deity. Worshippers of Malacath live as pariahs in the wilderness.
Recently, the Orcish mining operations have unearthed a new, durable metal, dubbed Trinium.
In pursuit of the Trinium metal, the Orcs have also uncovered passages leading deep into the mountain below the city.
[Not Yet Implemented] - The main quest begins as King Gortwog requests an outsider be sent undercover to the mining colony of Dunhoff to learn why workers seem to go missing and why the shipments of Trinium has come to a near-halt. Is it a case of corruption and embezzlement? Whatever the case, things will not turn out as you expect them to.

-Interiors are scarce. A few dungeons and houses have them. More are on their way.
-Quests are not top priority before worldbuilding is done. Occasional voice acting might be a good idea to implement quickly, though.
