Say Amen

It's been almost two months since I've released an update, but don't worry, the project isn't dead! Admittedly, development did momentarily slow down, but everything seems to be back on track, and up to speed. It's still way too early to give a release date, but I'm really aiming to release the Zebsirious NPC Expansion within six to nine months. I'm also going to make these updates fortnightly. The weekly updates were too small, plus people don't really check up on the blogspot that often anyway. Anyway, onto the development report.

There has been a lot of progress since the last update. The quest Friends in Deep Places has been completed, and the Thalmor Shipwreck and Thalmor Transport Ship both near completion. Dialogue for several NPCs has been written, and will be implemented as soon as I finish Valion's questline, and creation of the first Snow Elf stronghold has begun.

The strongholds will be where the bulk of Snow Elves will be found. As of right now, I only have four of them planned, but I may choose to add more in the future. They'll each have an inn, a couple merchants, a temple to a specific deity of the Falmeri pantheon, a ruling body (complete with a steward and a court wizard), an equivalent to thaneship, a potential player home, and a wayshrine, which can be used as a method of transportation between strongholds. I may add a prison system, although I'm not quite sure yet.

As for other projects, I think I've decided to scrap my aforementioned idea of making tiered magic. It'd potentially cause issues with the College of Winterhold's entry test, as well as with other things.On the bright side, I'm still going to do Cepheus, and have found a resource to use for the Heaven Stones. I've also compiled a few ideas for a werewolf overhaul. Of course the Zebsirious NPC Expansion is my priority, but it never hurts to have ideas written up for the future.
