LE Kaer Valden - Lost Realm of the Dwemer

[Flowerguy360]

So, I have this idea for what is simply too big of a project for me (with incredibly limited time and yet-to-be-developed modding abilities), but would still be really cool to see developed.

 

On the Skyrim Map: A wrecked Dwemer skyship, at the far north of the map. Northwestern corner, perhaps? Within the wreckage a bottle can be found, containing a map. The bottle can be equipped.

 

Once equipped, the bottle transports you to the location of a beacon. When you unequip the bottle, the game forces you to drop the beacon (if it is in your inventory). The next time you equip the bottle, it takes you to the location of the beacon (so, you can pick the beacon up and drop it where you want the bottle to take you to the next time it is equipped).

 

This should be started out from a player-home in Kaer Valden. The player-home should have a theme of basically being inside of the bottle with the map/bottle as the walls, but with a portal opening up to the rest of Kaer Valden (which is, you guessed it, the map).

 

Kaer Valden should be an open world add-on, of somewhat similar scale to Falskaar, but where the Dwemer are still alive. I envision the modern Dwemer would be somewhat steampunk-cybernetic with thick beards and thick armor, having embraced their technology to such a degree that many will have (for example) prosthetic/robotic limbs and other odd combinations of flesh and magic machine.

 

They are, of course, trapped by their own magic in Kaer Valden. It is your quest to free them.

 

Among the other various aspects of such a mission, I think it would be great to include a couple of Dwemer companions. This would also be a great opportunity to include new animals with the Dwemer that aren't necessarily native to Skyrim OR originating from beneath the surface of Tamriel. And it would be great to see an interpretation of the Falmer before they were Falmer thrown in there.

 

This is about as far as I've thought the idea through, but I think it has enormous potential. I just lack the skills and time to bring it to fruition, so I'm throwing it out there to the community. I hope someone picks it up. :)
