natula123 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 (edited) I am beginning a new project to create the land Eternia - Which is a land I have devised. Still under construction of topic Eternia - Land Divided Background Story:The land of Eternia was once a peaceful place where the people could roam freely and were free to worship all the gods; Netress of Nature, Firentis of Fire, Warthone of Water, Airese of Air, Galthane of Darkness and Aichkos of Light. The gods in heaven had rule all over all of Eternia, until Galthane betrayed the gods and murdered Aichkos. With the light powers gone, the other gods fled the heavens to Eternia and hid among the people. Galthane harnessed the power of the ancient Dragonlings, an ancient race that had the ability of dragon form, and became Galthane Deathwing, through the use of an ancient scroll. Galthane then descend upon the world with an army of his dark servants and began to pillage the world. With the new threat, the remaining gods allied with the forces of Humans, Mountain Elves, Dwarfs and Wood Elves. Thousands of men were called upon to fight and at the battle of Reinstien Fields, the Alliance of Light defeated the forces of Galthane. In punishment the gods enclosed his armies into the barren lands, surrounded my mountains and the river of blood at the entrance. That was over 1000 years ago.... Character StoryYou will be able to pick from any of those races, maybe some of Skyrim races, and then pick a starting character background. Each background will provide a different starting story and hopefully provide(Aiming at) an hour of gameplay before the start of the main quest. Peasant BackgroundWith the age of peaceful kings gone, life has returned to hardships and peril for the lonely peasant. In this story you will begin in the town of Astor in the southern areas of the Kest province(There will be several provinces fighting for control of the "Light Lands"). After bandits attack and loot your town, many people were killed. Your home is destroyed and your wife has been murdered. Filled with rage you begin your quest for revenge. As a peasant you will not recieve help from any guards and will not be able to buy and sell items to town merchants(This is hopefully only for the starting part. There will be travelling traders) Rich Family BackgroundYou are the father of a weathly family in the mountain town of Lief. Lief is a peaceful merchant town that has regular trade with the Mountain Elves' main city of Istianor. However, it has come to your attention that a neighbouring family is buying to your business and starting to make their mark. Fortunately, the head of their family is murdered. Or so you thought..... GameplaySo far, new weapons, armors and spell will be added. I havent begun construction of custom textures(Not really good at NifSkope, but I will attempt to create some sort of custom weapon as a test and see from there). I hope fto incorporate more horses and maybe some sort of different mounts ie large cats, wolves, maybe dragos(Skyrim Game Jam probs do this). With the entrance of the gods in this game, each god will have it's own magic skills(Like conjuration and those) Having it like this allows for different spells under those catergories aswell as new perks and abilities.NatureFireWaterAirDarkLight Aid?If anyone would like to join the journey of this mod, just ask. All are welcome and anywork(Within minuscule boundries) submitted is going to be appreciated and added to the mod.

lecricdecoeurs Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Sounds intriguing, I'll be sure to follow this one. I have a quick question if you don't mind me asking. How are you going about creating terrain in your worldspaces? Are you importing heightmaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natula123 Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 The terrain so far I have just been landscaping with the brush and paint tool thing. Done about the size of Whiterun will fun textures, trees and some NPCs. I still am getting my head around the Heightmap tool. Do you have any experience using it?

terzho Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 So this won't be playable alongside Skyrim? Like with a save game and back and forth from this place to Skyrim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natula123 Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 So this won't be playable alongside Skyrim? Like with a save game and back and forth from this place to Skyrim. I would like to add some portals maybe. Even a ship so you will be able to go back and forth and save in Eternia. Since having portals/ships in Skyrim. I would like to add some elements of Eternia to Skyrim, but in a different download in case people do not want some of those elements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pekkape Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 This sounds like a cool idea. I installed it so I can keep a look at each update from NMM. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GomuGomu64 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Just so you know, the Heightmap tool is broken. It'll crash all the time. And if you ever manage to fix the purple LOD issue, do tell how. I've tried for several hours and failed. It's caused by diffuse maps methinks, and how they don't get generated properly. Working on a worldspace meself, actually :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
