Raven Rock, the resilient Dark Elf settlement on Solstheim in Skyrim, is a location rich in history and intrigue. For players seeking to further immerse themselves in this unique town, a new mod offers an exciting expansion to Raven Rock, enhancing its vibrancy and depth. This modification introduces a significant addition to the northern part of Raven Rock, seamlessly integrating new content that enriches the town’s atmosphere and offerings.
This Raven Rock expansion mod focuses on broadening the town’s services and population, making it feel even more alive and bustling. Players will discover seven new merchants, providing a wider array of goods and trading opportunities within Raven Rock. To accommodate travelers and adventurers, two new inns have been added, offering warm beds and respite after exploring Solstheim’s harsh landscapes. Furthermore, for those seeking companionship or assistance, the mod introduces four new followers, each with their own unique skills and backgrounds, ready to join you on your Skyrim adventures. Beyond these key additions, the expansion populates Raven Rock with a host of new NPCs, each following daily schedules, contributing to the town’s dynamic and realistic feel.
For players familiar with the Creation Club content “Ashfall’s Tear,” this Raven Rock mod cleverly incorporates its entrance into one of the new inns, “The Old Three Tavern.” This integration adds a layer of intrigue and subtle storytelling, suggesting a hidden depth within the seemingly ordinary tavern. The mod author envisioned the tavern serving as a front for a clandestine hideout, a place where comings and goings would blend seamlessly into the everyday life of a busy inn, effectively concealing any secretive activities.

This expansion mod also incorporates assets from various talented creators within the modding community. Contributions from Stroti and Tamira’s “Castle Walls,” Kalilies’ “KS Hairdo,” and eyebrow assets from a NexusMods resource enhance the visual appeal of the new area. Phitt and Tamira’s “Sheogorad Assets,” Willybach’s “Signs and shop stalls,” Mihail’s “Scuttlers” and “Zombies,” DonQcg’s “Long Sword,” VectorPlexus’ high poly head meshes, Domainwolf’s “Weathered Nordic Bodypaint,” Collygon’s “Niohoggr Warpaint,” furexarot’s “Bone Cultist armor,” and TateTaylorOH’s “East Empire Company Banner” all contribute to the rich tapestry of this Raven Rock enhancement.
