v2.1 The Artifacts of Akavir

This fantastic mod adds several quests to retrieve five unique Akaviri treasures locked within an ancient Dwemer vault.

Also included are: A Dwemer house, a haunted shipwreck, epic battles with bandits and dragons, and a touch of irony.

Unique Items:

Recovering these treasures requires traversing Skyrim to obtain each of the five keys to the vault.

The first of the artifacts is the Akaviri Lightning Blade, a sword crafted so finely the wielder can strike nearly twice as fast. The key is guarded in the Pelagius Wing of the Blue Palace.

The second treasure is the Twenty Four Lives, a quiver of the deadliest arrows ever to be found in Skyrim. The key is guarded by the dragon at Dragontooth Crater.

The third artifact is the Akaviri Doom Hammer. As could be expected, it is a warhammer that indeed will bring doom to your enemies. While swinging slower than any other weapon, it does five times the damage of a Daedric Warhammer, more than making up for it. The key is guarded by the dragon at Lost Tongue Overlook.

The fourth reward is a trifecta of The Scroll of Disapparition, an Elder Scroll that allows the user to become invisible for up to 365 days, the Incredibly Deadly Poison, which I shouldn't need to explain, and three doses of the Draught of Rejuvenation, which cures all diseases and heals all wounds, physical and spiritual. The key is guarded by the spirits aboard the Akaviri ship in the far north of Winterhold.

The fifth treasure is the massive stash of loot brought from Akavir. Aside from gold, the treasure includes armor, weapons, ingots, and jewelry, and did I mention gold? Good for legitimately funding your Hearthfire houses or whatever else it is you do with copious amounts of treasure. The key is all the way at the top of Dead Crone Rock.

If you're worried that you can't possibly remember all of this, have no fear. Five different guides to the artifacts and keys can be found within the vault.



==== Locations ====

The main location of both the Dwemer house and Artifact Vault is Daarsten, which can be found just Southeast of Skyhaven Temple along the river running through the Reach. They are built directly into the cliffs above the river and have arguably the most scenic location in Skyrim.

You get a literal front porch view of not one, but three waterfalls, and a wide open wilderness as well. Location is everything, or so they say.

The house is available for the player's use and has all the necessities and a custom map marker for fast travel. Have fun finding the Easter eggs scattered around too ;)

Right next door is the large vault, with an entryway, main hall, and five different rooms holding the treasures within. And a troop of bandits currently seeking the relics for themselves. Expect resistance, and enjoy crushing it.

Aside from the other locations guarding the keys, there is also an added Akaviri shipwreck in the north, haunted by a crew just dying to get their ghostly hands on any intruders, if you'll excuse my puns.


==== Glory ====

Do you sometimes feel like going around killing respawning enemies in Skyrim gets a little old? The search for the keys will give you a much better incentive to do it, making the game more fun.

All told, you could get anywhere from twenty minutes to an hour gameplay just going through, not to mention the long-reaching value of having a new house, all sorts of really cool and dangerous artifacts to keep, and the cherished memories that will last a lifetime.
