The Fall of Granite Hill

Granite Hill - Three Farms and an Inn, just North of the Falkreath. A Market is Held here Weekly. -- Survey of the Holdings of Jarl Gjalund

Granite Hill is mentioned in a few places in lore and existed prior to the 4th Era. However nothing remained of it in Skyrim by 4E 201 except the dragon mound where Vuljotnaak was buried in ancient times. All well and good, but with no explanation for what may have happened to the place it felt like a good enough opportunity to tell my own version of events here. With this mod, the 3 farms and the inn are back, but instead of the weekly market, the town has a blacksmith. Of course, that would not be much of a fate, would it? Granite Hill's fate is sealed from the moment Alduin burned down Helgen. Surely the beast and his newly resurrected allies didn't stop there...

Features:

* A fully working town prior to Alduin's return. 3 farms, an inn, and a blacksmith. Plus town guard patrols from Falkreath Hold.

* Upon Vuljotnaak's resurrection by Alduin, the village will be in flames. This will last as long as the dragon is alive.

* Following the dragon's death, the fires will go out but the town now lies in ruins, swallowed by the World Eater.

Compatibility

Will not be compatible with any other mods editing the area around the Granite Hill dragon mound.

Known Issues

Events in the town rely on the status of the dragon mound at its center. These mounds are not always well behaved and it's possible that the town may never trigger the actively burning phase. Also keep in mind that if you install this at a point beyond which Vuljotnaak is already dead, all you'll see are the ruins.

It may be possible to encounter leftover predators in the area that spawned before they were replaced with tame animals. Nothing can be done except to kill them.
