@mALX - nice to see Maxical relaxing. Glass armor suits her very good.

I see that she gave Jalbert what he deserved.

Good reference to Persephone with the skeleton.

Beautiful shots of the Cloud Top, sun shines falling on Maxical and ancient ruins are just...well, beautiful, like I said.

So she washed her dirt away and is now sleeping soundly in the tent. I enjoyed this adventure.

@SubRosa - the sky over Persephone's lair is stunning.

I really like the observation post, probably my favorite part of her lair. She has quite a collection of books too, I see.

Seems like Persephone is expecting some guests after all.

Living on the edge and another beautiful vista of Cyrodiil.

End of the terror of Hackdirt!

--

Vion ascended up to the Howling Halls, one of the highest points in the Shivering Isles. From there he could see the neverending Enjaen Sea on on side, neverending swamps of Dementia on the other side, and New Sheoth on the third side, though the capital looked much more impressive from up close.

Inside the Howling Halls there were some Zealots that were obviously avid shoes collectors. Most of the Halls were inaccessible (quest-specific), so Vion moved on, heading south of New Sheoth.

Why walk over the water when you can walk over the roots?

As cautious as he was, he almost never spotted Spore Pod traps.

Unless they attacked him first or unless he had to get past them, Vion left residents of Dementia alone.

Weather of Dementia was prone to quick changes just like Sheogorath, so storms were sudden and heavy, though they usually didn't last long. Still, Vion preferred nice weather when he didn't need to wear his hood.

Lopov – More great shots from the Isles! Those neverending views are magnificent. Well, those zealots can’t be all bad if they collect shoes. Ugh, spore pod traps. What a fabulous close up of Vion at the end there. Thanks for sharing!

Vion’s visit to the SI reminds me of Buffy’s many fond memories there. Here’s an old screenshot there I call Golden Girls. And another of the jungles of Dementia.

[SubRosa]

It seems the Shivering Isles are neverending!

I wonder if one of those zealots became the vampire in Shreikwind Bastion with the shoe collection...

I had forgotten all about walking over those giant roots! That was always lots of fun.

I second the ugh on spore pod traps. I always hated those too. Looks like a good place to play an Argonian!


I remember the Golden Girls. Though they look much younger than in the tv show... That pic of Buffy and Superian looks like it almost could have been from Blackwood.

@ SubRosa - Wow, you did a whole heck of a lot of work on that Tower! I was wondering about the top shelves last screens you posted, and how you would reach them - you answered it, lol.


I was getting height sick seeing Persephone dancing so high above the ground in those two screens, and Aerosmith's song was a fitting title for that, lol. That was scary, especially since you took the camera off her and freed it to take the screen, GAAAAH!


Hackdirt - that place gives me the creeps! Those moonlings going around saying "Where?" - and I never realized it till I saw your close up screen of him, but that Moslin guy is a real anomaly, lol.

I really appreciate the second bed; Maxical might come visit soon, lol.






@ Acadian - Golden girls, Is that Vilja towering over Buffy? And the Jungles = how on earth did you manage to get Superian into the isles? Was it the Corsair spell? Holy Cow, My horses all hung around in the Bravil stables, lol. Wasn't it too dangerous for her there? Great shots!






@ Lopov - I go to the roof of Howling Halls every time I am in the area and sit in that chair! Nice view from there.

The Swamps is an excellent example of how well Bethesda can do something when they put their minds to it; what an amazing shot!



I'm really surprised Buffy and Maxical didn't storm the Isles for that shoe collection,


Oh, that little building behind Vion has some containers in it that may contain amber! WOOOOT !!!


My favorite shot - Vion on the roots. That is so cool! (Well, favorite if I don't count the last one close-up of Vion's face, lol).

Awesome shots, Lopov!




****************************



This update is for everyone, but especially for SubRosa - and is why I didn't say much about the updates to the tower you made, lol. Because Maxical did visit Persephone!

I was so inspired by what you said about enjoying Maxical visiting the same sites following Persephone that ... well, had to follow her home, lol.

Maxical has been doing quests for an odd Ayleid Collector in the Imperial City; and in visiting all those Ayleid ruins she has found some rare Ayleid items which she thought Persephone might want; or that they may actually have some important connection in Persephone's life.


When she got to Persephone's Tower, no one was home - but she did find the bed set up for her and appreciated the thoughtfulness. She left the presents there for Persephone to sort through.

The Daedric lava Crystall Ball was the work of JBVW; that is Meo's globe of Tamriel; the ancient Ayleid Plate for Ingredients was the work of Garnet18/FlintOne (as was the Ayleid tapestries and rugs); and I took the textures from it and hand made the ancient Ayleid mortar and pestle for Persephone with them in NifSkope..


(I thought you would be able to see the detailed Ayleid imprints in the screens, but couldn't get close enough - and like a complete idiot didn't think about toggling free cam to get them. I might just capture a good screen of them in the CS to show them better, they are gorgeous and the Ayleid symbols very lorific, lol.

The only reason I hung tapestries was to hide that huge line down the wall of the interior tower, for some reason the pieces in that tower leave a very visible line on the jointures. (so I covered it with a tapestry, lol.


Other than the old winery cask that Maxical thought Persephone might want to use for bathing (bathmod); I tried to stick closely to what you had in your original so that the screens would be similar. (of course, that was before your renovations;


Here is the screens of her visit to Persephone's Tower:



http://imgur.com/a/XswZc



Mistakes - Oh yeah. For some reason (and I know better!) - instead of editing the original mod I made a mod, meaning there is a conflict.

I tried to rectify it in game by deleting the few offending objects via the console and accidently clicked on and deleted a section of the tower, so had to back out of the game and hope that fixes the issue.

Other than that, I got way too much lights in there; in game it was way too well lit. I plan to open it in the CK and redo the lighting with custom low watt lights, lol.

Also, I knew you had added a bed; but didn't know where you put it - so I put it where I thought you might have placed it.

OH! And I had a Middle Class desk in there just like yours, but I added some open Ayleid books (written in Ayleid language) - and wanted one of them laying at the desk, so I swapped your Middle Class desk for an Upper so the open book could be seen laying there.


Also, I couldn't find your great shelves anywhere, what item are they? They look Middle Class, but I looked in every single possibility and couldn't find them, so settled for Middle Class Shelf 03 instead. It is not nearly as good as the shelf you used.


Anyway, I hope you like it.

I love what you do with that ruin, Rosa! Looks so neat and cozy

Persephone came to Hackdirt

That guy looks like the boss I had four months last fall. Looks equally stupid

[Acadian]

MALX – One of those Golden Saints is a follower, the other a long-term summon. Heh, Superian has more mods to support her than Buffy does. The mare can be summoned or unsummoned anytime/anywhere. You’re right that the Isles is dangerous for riding. That’s where the pair of Golden Saint escorts come in handy, augmented with a critter familiar to help if needed.

Maxical’s visit to Persephone’s lair was fun to see! What thoughtful touches to bring some Ayleid decorations. You do know how to work CS magic with water in tubs and the bath looks great! And I expect even a dead girl would appreciate the live and pretty flowers.

[Grits]

SubRosa, Persephone does not look impressed with Lum’s display of male orc-liness, especially when she is covered up completely.

Nice to see the Odiil boys still on their feet. That has to be one of the most frantic quests ever, with those two lads running amok in their shirtsleeves.

Aaand now we know that Persephone wears a thong. The laced up back of her armor looks very hot!

Kitty! Whether you’re alive or dead, cats will treat you like furniture. Lovely to see Persephone relaxing at home. I love her face.

Persephone’s lair looks like great fun to climb around. What a view! That observation post is awesome.

Tucking her beds into an alcove is a nice idea. It feels cozy and open to the sky at the same time.

Living on the edge is a favorite. That’s desktop material! I love her saucy pose.

Persephone looks terrifying in She Saw. Yikes. I expect that she was not frightened by those Hackdirt mortals and their weirdness.


Lopov, those are amazing views from the Howling Halls! I love the neverending swamps picture. Wow.

A shoe collector? What a neat find!

Looks like hopping across rocks and roots was fun.

Yikes, the critters of the SI look very creepy.

What a rainstorm! I like the last picture best, Vion without his hood.


Acadian, how fun to see Buffy with her big blonde friends. That misty forest scene is one of my all-time favorites.


mALX, what a neat visit to Persephone’s tower! I especially love that wine cask tub.

[SubRosa]

Persephone loves her gifts from her Twiceborn friend!

Wow, you really went all out! Putting a few tables and chairs outside has been on Persephone's list of things to do, but Maxical beat her too it!

The globe is really cool, so is the former grape-squisher, now bathing tub. Persephone will no longer have to frighten the dirt off of her! I hope Maxical doesn't accidentally get drunk while taking that bath!

The rugs are very neat. I love the celtic knotwork on the round one under the alchemy table.

I am so glad she liked those things. I really hesitated on the flowers, but you had mentioned Persephone liked flowers in one of your responses to Acadian (and they are also alchemical flora for that Alchemy station, lol).

Also, on that tapestry: I have a much better Ayleid tapestry somewhere, but couldn't find it; so I put that one there as a placeholder until I find the better one. That crack in the wall was so visible, it irked me seeing it - had to cover it up, lol.

It actually felt like I was in Persephone's Tower while Maxical was there, it was very cool being in there and it looking enough like your screenshots that it felt like being in the same place to me. (Well technically, it is the same place; but you know what I mean, lol).

I just wish I could have opened the Middle Class desk and used it instead of putting the Upper Class desk in; it doesn't suit the rest of the place the way an open Middle or lower one would have. I have some open desks from mods, but all of them looked much too fancy in there, so I went with the Upper instead.

And I wanted some screens of the open books with the Ayleid writings in them and couldn't, the lighting I added was too bright and just whited out the pages, darn it! I'll fix that, so Persephone can see the books Maxical brought her, lol.

[Renee]

Yes! What he said!

[Lopov]

Thanks all.

Vion’s visit to the SI reminds me of Buffy’s many fond memories there. Here’s an old screenshot there I call Golden Girls. And another of the jungles of Dementia.

Golden girls are beautiful, Buffy has to really look all the way up to see them. Jungles of Dementia is a superb shot as well, it seems like Buffy is all alone in the woods. Does she plan to visit the Isles soon?

@mALX - a really nice touch that Maxical brought presents for Persephone, I really like the globe. Too bad that her friend wasn't at home but it's good that Maxical felt like at home nonetheless.

[mirocu]

I love the Golden Girls shot!


And the Dementia one is so adventureous looking! You sure Buffy doesn´t long back from Skyrim...?

[mALX]

I wanted to thank everyone for their kind comments, thank you!

Maxical did not follow Persephone to Hackdirt, instead she worked on trying to fix the ramps to the upper floors. How did you do that? GAAAAAAH! I couldn't, and finally gave up and just threw in a stairwell to the left as you enter since I didn't see any furniture there in your screens.

Had another issue trying to get the ladder in for the lookout guardpost - GAAAAAAH! Finally gave up and used the cracks in the upper floor to make a parapet around the upper ring for a guard post.

So I really didn't get any play in, just fixing up Persephone's Tower, lol. Here is the screens of the finished work, I just could not get it looking like yours and it work for walking for me/Maxical.


Here is the screens of the Parapet, the upper floor, the better tapestries, and a close up of the Ayleid Mortar and Pestle and Ingredient plate for Persephone; plus a shot of those Ayleid books/writings for Persephone.

I was too worn out to go to Hackdirt after that, lol.

Will it be available for downloadsings?

That’s really neat, mALX! What a gorgeous feast. Party at Persephone’s Tower!

[Acadian]

Thanks all, for the kind words on those two older screens of Buffy in the SI!

MALX, more great stuff from Persephone's PalaceTower. With Maxical practicing her general contractor skills I'm not sure if that could be a good or bad thing! Anyway, it all looks wonderful. I noticed the globe SubRosa mentioned and it is indeed very neat. I also like how you swapped out the Ayleid tapestries for more subtle ones. In fact all the Ayleid touches are just neat as can be!

[SubRosa]

Wow, I never would have thought to put a whole ring outside the tower wall. That is the Leyawiin dock/platform meshes isn't it? I used a few of the ones without the roof the other day to make some sitting areas outside the tower.

I made the ramps with some wooden plank statics, that I scaled up in size to be really big. There are a few dungeons where they do that, which gave me the idea. The ramp up to the observation post inside the tower is just a ladder laid on an angle next to the wall, with some more wooden boards sticking out at the top to make a landing. I have done some more work of my own as well, now the two towers barely look alike!

The books and the colored map are really neat. And a really cool cross-like symbol on the mortar and pestle and the plate. That is a sumptuous feast laid out. I hope Maxical is hungry!

[SubRosa]

Persephone doesn't like the look of this guy, but she'll work for him in order to keep a closer eye on him

Return to Hackdirt

Night ruin

I put in a statue of Alessia on the tower's east face, and put in a deck with an observation lounge

I added a dragon statue to the Hammerfell side of the tower, and added a small table and chairs as well

I turned the third floor into a dojo

Persephone in bound armor (I replaced the vanilla armor with Ice Morrigan Equipment)

[Acadian]

Something tells me that if Persephone finds all the Ancestors, they will not end up in this Altmer’s collection. . . .

I see she put those Hackdirters to the sword. Did she rescue Blossom and Dar-Ma?

Nice looking Ayleid ruin under one of the moons.

I see the Persephone Palace continues to grow!

The dark armor looks good – and intimidating.

@ Mirocu - - no. It is just so Maxical can RP with SubRosa's character Persephone. It is a lot of fun to go where she goes and snap a screen so it looks like they are going to the same places. Thank you so much, Mirocu!


@ Grits - I gained 10 pounds just looking at that table, lol.


@ Acadian - I like these tapestries much better too. And if you had seen the mess I made trying to rig up those planks like SubRosa did, you would most def be worried about Maxical's construction skills, lol. I was falling off stuff before I even got her in the game, lol.


@ SubRosa - Yes, that is LeyawiinDeck01! It was perfect for making the circle, thought I would have preferred it to just be a scaffold and not covered. I had to use the LeyawiinDeck04 underneath or we would have been looking up the skirts of anyone standing on the parapet,

OMG, why didn't I think of scaling the planks? Oh crap, no wonder I couldn't get it to work! Yours did not look overly largened in the screens, so the thought never occurred to me.

It may be a Celtic cross, I think you are right - but it fit the Ayleid theme so well, that is why I used it for Persephone's gifts.

And yes, Maxical did not know how long she might be up there, or how many other guests Persephone might have, so she loaded up on the food,

@ SubRosa:




WOO Hoo, the Collector Questline! One of my absolute favorite quests in Oblivion!


Urk, those creepy people again! I have to give Bethesda kudos for whoever made that town; that place gives off just as freaky as anyone would wish for that quest! My skin crawls just looking at screens of it, lol.


Ah, now Persephone will be in her own element. I wonder if she is seeking out these Ayleid statues for her own purpose and history; and maybe just using Umbacano to settle an ancient score and get paid for collecting what was actually stolen from her people, possibly by Umbacano's own relatives, lol. For some reason I think there is more to it than just being a pawn in Umbacano's game, lol.



Oh, that statue of Alessia is Awesome there! And your choice of tables and chairs is so much better than mine! LeyawiinDeck04 - that piece is probably the most versatile static in Oblivion, lol. Great deck idea!


Wow, I don't remember seeing that dragon statue before, but it is absolutely perfect for Persephone to use in her tower! Awesome choice!



Oh what a great idea for using that upper ring! That is fantastic! Perfect!



OMG, that is bound armor? AWESOME !!!! That is gorgeous! And that sword is wicked looking!


MOLLY!!!! WOOOOOOOOT !!!!


This update is Awesome!!!
