LE Fellglow Keep, School for Necromancers and Evil Mages.

[AndyTheLegend]

During the College of Winterhold quest line, you're asked to find Orthorn and retrieve stolen books from an old fortress filled with renegade students. Once you get there, you find that many parts of the interior is laid out like a school, with magical shooting ranges, coffins, crypts, and draugrs for experimentation, live prisoner test subjects (including vampires), ritual circles everywhere. You even meet the headmaster, known as The Caller. You start to get a good idea of how exactly this place operated as a possible mages school for... unpopular magic.

From my first time visiting the fort back when the game first launched, I knew it had great potential for a mod that turned it into a fully fledged school that the player could attend. An "evil" alternative to the College of Winterhold. I scoured the Internet and to my surprise, couldn't find anyone mentioning this. Perhaps the scale of such a mod is just too high, it would require voice acting, redoing a lot of interiors, scripting, AI pathing, quest design, etc. But there is no doubt that the audience for such a mod is high, what with the popularity of the few necromancy overhaul mods and the variety of evil mage and spell mods.

What do you guys think? Is there interest for an evil mage school like this? A place where necromancers can practice in peace, where students can practice destruction and illusion magic on live prisoners, where mages can research daedric magic and conduct unethical experiments.

I'd like to hear from experienced modders about the scope and possibility of such a mod and if this is something the community is interested in in general.

I would absolutely love this. Just finished doing the quest myself whilst running Immersive CoW, the possibility to go there and befriend the "evil" mages should absolutely be an option at the very least. Maybe you can go back and lie to the college about it, say they're all dead or something. Great idea though!
