Description

Heal his pain,
Deny his reign,
End my Shame,
Free Verona House.

The gates of Oblivion have been closed, but across a wounded land their smoke still casts a long shadow. A Champion has emerged to protect the people, but victory has been bought at a terrible price. A great city is ruins and the last of the Septim line has gone. In the corridors of the Imperial Palace, the High Council must face up to the task of ruling Cyrodiil alone. As uncertainty sweeps across a ravaged land they must seek to bring order, peace and the rule of law back to a desperate people. And in the deep dark places of the land, an evil force, one that has remained hidden for centuries, now sense that their time has come. Their charismatic leader will urge them to abandon the shadows and emerge to seize power.

Verona House: Bloodlines is a new plug-in expansion pack which adds a brand new fully populated town called Verona Bay to the northwest corner of Lake Rumare. At the heart of the town is the critically acclaimed Verona House. The house and its surroundings have been updated, extended and improved for this expansion pack.

However, when the adventure begins you will now find the house firmly locked. Only when you have solved the riddle of a mysterious prophecy and saved Cyrodiil once again will you be able to call Verona House your home.

Some of the features of this expansion pack include:

Bloodlines Quests

A massive eleven part quest line which sees the Champion pitted against an evil cult and its powerful master as you try to unlock Verona House. Featuring a detailed plotline, with voiced dialogue you can expect fighting, stealing, gambling, horse chases, battles, fist fights, mysteries, puzzles, disguises, and companions.

The mod includes seven brand new multi level dungeons and a huge cast of characters, buildings and villains. There are also unique armor, clothes and weapons. BLOODLINES is a rich, complex story which sets genuine puzzles which you are expected to solve and offers few easy answers. This is a role-players adventure, which as well as dynamic action also seeks to stretch your character and to challenge you.

Three optional extra spin off adventures. As well as the eleven essential quests you can also take part in extra bonus adventures.

Verona bay is now a fully functional town which boast upwards of 40 NPCs who live and work and chat as you would expect in a busy settlement. The town has been redesigned and extended as part of this expansion pack. It includes a chapel, graveyard, Merchants, Hotel and bar, Guards, citizens, thieves, fences, assassins and a new town square. Ive also added a waterfall to pretty the place up.
