Ancient Races and Ruins

[Aedaghna]

I'm working on creating a new ruin/castle/dungeon tileset and I'd really like to make it fit into Tamrielic lore. The architecture would be 100% unique with no particular ties to the architecture currently in the game (No akaviri.) I really liked the "Forerunner" architecture from the Halo trilogy and thought it would be interesting to try and apply some of the same shapes to an anciet ruin. NOT like Delta Halo, that was lame and stupid. Think helm's deep colors/textures combined with haloesque geometry. (Note: I'm not trying to recruit people to help with this. This is a personal mod, I'm just trying to give an idea of what I'm thinking.)

 

Were there any other ancient races like the Ayleids that once inhabited Cyrodiil that could have ruins scattered about? If not, I'll come up with something, just thought I'd ask first.

Aedaghna,

 

 

I would suggest Starting your reasearch here

 

The Imperial Library

Many modders consider this the definitive TES historical reference,

for good reasons.

 

It seems to be used as the final word in many historical discussions

 

:biggrin:

Okay, thanks for the link, I'll be sure to check it out.

Good call Stormraven, I think I've figured out where the ruins originated already! (I have an idea anyway.)

 

:thanks:

 

 

Now for another lore question: Does anyone know if there is another mod that delves into the history of Aldmeris? I'd just like to know if I'm heading into an already conquered territory.
