------------------------------------------------------
1: Requirements

Oblivion and Shivering Isles and their latests patches.
------------------------------------------------------I have create a Mushroom Tower Settlement on the boarder with Morrowind, in the Valus Mountains. You will need to disable the borders in the ini. or use a mod to do so. The layout is inspired by all the Telvanni towers from TES3 Morrowind.

This mod has undergone testing at ORE. And is now presented as is. Feel free to do as you wish with it. Interior layout and decor is very subjective. Some areas may experience problems with fps depending on your computer. I had to balance the layout for those who don't have levitation and those who do. So the design was implemented to accomidate, levitation (mod or spell), teleportaion, and walking. One can reach all levels of the tower, without another mod. You can use the teleportaion device, or ramps, or buy a spell from the Mouth. The red matrix crystals have havok and that is an intended element. If they come loose, they are ment to be placed on the devices and activated by you. For some areas, you may feel it's too dark. Wizards who can cast light don't need torches or lights. All containers are non-respawing unless otherwise labeled as such. I don't feel capable of doing dialoge or quests, so if you feel the desire, you are welcome to do so.

General Features:
There are 5 exterior buildings, one is on the tower top:
*Settlement tavern (hostel-free beds)
*Settlement general services (forge and general store)
*Guard house
*Herdsman's hut/ stable
* Tower's Turret (mage lab)

The tower is spilt up into 4 sections. From bottom to top:
-Dungeon, Basement, Lower Tower, and Upper Tower

*The Dungeon is deep in the earth below the tower. It is where the force labor lives, and where the jail is located.

*The Basement is located just below the surface. It is where the root foundations of the tower is located. It sits on the areas aquafer. It containes a garden and storage area

*Lower tower: This is where visiting Dunmer stay. It is also where the Tower's Mouth lives. He provides mage services

Upper Tower: This section consists of 6 areas. A lounge, a private study, a master bed, master bath, library, and dinning hall. Access to roof and turret is located in dinning hall

Lastly there are many custom items, books and designs to look at.
I also highly recomend going into the CS yourself and adding any and all things Morrowind to the tower. I was restriced on what I could add for general release, but I intend to add Bonemold armor and Dwarven stuff to my personal version.


------------------------------------------------------

3: Installation
There are 4 files to download. --3 .zips that have textures folders in them.
--1 .zip that has the meshes folder. --And one .zip that has the esp in it.
Drag the .esp, meshes folder and textures folder --onto your data folder in your Oblivion directory and check the box or use OBMM.

4: Version History
ALPHA
BETA
1.0 c
------------------------------------------------------

5: Incompatibilities
This is loacated in the exterior cells 51,-1 52,-1 52,-253,-153,-2
North East of the abandoned mine and it's oblivion gate, on the border of Morrowind.
The height map is not altered and minimal land alteration was done other than plant deletion.
If it should ever come up, feel free to make a combatable version with whatever mod.
This mod does not conflict with the Ancient Towers mod, nor does it conflict with the other Telvanni mods. It uses unique ids and tileset.

*The initial textures 02 folder had a weapons icon from "Madcat221" "Ayleid Meteoric Iron Weaponry". I ended up not using it in the esp.

*Textures 02 --file was re-uploaded without the "Madcat221" "Ayleid Meteoric Iron Weaponry" icon. So, if you use his mods you'll want to re-apply the textures from his latest weapon mod to overwrite the old weapon icon texture, if desired."

Deep Appoligies -- If you don't use that weapons mod, the new textures archive will have no impact or bearing on your previous Tel Valus Download.
As I said before this is not my mod please respect the content. Speckled guar gave permission for any one to use this but.
