Note: This is a beta release. Do not treat this as a finished product. It's just for fun and to play around with, not as a permanent stable game world you can play in. Any sort of feedback, suggestions, idea, or anything you can think of is welcome. Except cat related stuff. Entrance to the mod is a new mountain pass near Dushnikh Yal.

WHAT DOES THIS MOD DO?

It adds an entire new province to the game. Namely, the homeland of the Orcs.

Access to Orsinium is provided by a mountain pass in southwestern Skyrim.

When in Orsinium, you will have an entirely new map to explore. New enemies to fight. New NPCs to meet. And new music playing in the background.

Eventually there will be new quests as well.

LONGER DESCRIPTION

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.

[Main Quest - Not Yet Implemented] - The strictly religious and devout Wardens are amassing in the old fortress of Greywall, under the leadership of Archmaster Gonriv. Meanwhile, Orcs are starting to report having disturbing dreams. The Orcish King Gortwog calls for a champion to investigate these disturbing developments.

Congratulations on the release man, even if it's still a beta. New land is always good fun. I'll check it out in my next playthrough.

It has been released, praise Talos! Can't wait to check this out, keep up the great work!
