Description:
A haunted house has kept the citizens of Cyrodiil away from a particular patch of ground for years. And those traveling past it move a lot quicker. It is rumored that the people who lived in the house unearthed some ancient cursed tomb. The spirits escaped their cursed tomb and killed them all. They now inhabit the house and its basements. Who knows what evil they have built in their new underground fortress!

==Location===========
Just South East of the Imperial city, North East of the big bridge, on the Red Ring Road. See the included picture map.

==TECH NOTES=========
* Should work with Vahnilla Oblivion, no add-on mods required.
* Best played in a dark room with the sound turned up.
* Best played without player light sources, night-eye, or life sense. I made the entire house with enough light to navigate without additional sources.
* Compatibility: I do not know of any mod that has used this parcel of land so it should be very compatible.
* The only way to change the weather is to force it. The script releases the weather override when you are a certain distance from the house. If your weather gets stuck to thunderstorm because you teleported, then go to the house and then walk away from it. This should release the weather override.
* This may bog down slower computers to 4 FPS. There is a lot of eye candy that you will not see in the vahnilla Oblivion game.
* The first time through the mod may take 2+ hours. There are 5 new interior cells, from the House interior down to the Basement, Sub-Basement, Lower Tomb, and finally the Catacombs.

==Installation======
Copy the folders in this archive into your \Oblivion\Data\ folder path. Merge the folders, there should be no overwrites.

==Hints=============
* If you plan on defeating the lich in the basement (and one other place) you must read the note on the table in the basement, just before the arcane symbol secret door. It provides the clue you need.
* There are no 'Quests' but there are 'Quest like' things to do.
* Touch the gravestones in the back yard, but don't tread on the graves.
* WARNING: There are many 'Boss' creatures. These are between 20 and 30 levels above your own. Lower level players may find it very difficult!
* You must find the keys on each level to advance to the next section. They are either on the boss, or in a jewelery box chest.
* Playing around with the tomb outside the house just calls more undead out! This heart has nothing to do with the Lich's inside.
* You must do something to be rewarded the key to the secret bedroom and storage facility.
* Before you can sleep in the room, you must defeat the enemies nearby.
* After defeating a tough set of monsters, it may be a good idea to save your game before something nasty happens to you...
* When outside looking at the house, look up. Bats?!!
* Happy Halloween!
