Yesh!

This is a magnificent claim. Some of you might already know that there is going to be an entirely new region in the Velothis release. And what would that be?

The Ash Swamp! Yes! It's a quite magnificent region, actually. People have already stated that on the Bethesda Softworks Forums, and I can only agree! It has new parasols, puffshrooms and fungus hanging from stuff! What a shame we can't release it anytime soon.
Regarding the fact the claim consists of 16 cells (which is a lot), I finished it in quite a short time. That might be because of the fact that the Ash Swamp is soo much fun to make; The set is really cool and you can add a lot of variety by placing fungus and little shrooms. The contrast between his region and the Bittercoast could hardly be greater; A must for vanilla players!
Just a little note: I'll finish another exterior claim consisting at least partially of the Ash Swamp this week. Stay tuned!

Hey,

long time no see. I finished another interior claim now.
This, apparently, is a manor. The owner is the son of a successful Redoran warrior, probably even a councilor. His father built this manor long ago, and the family used to be quite rich.
Then, everything changed. The father died away, and the son took over the whole place including the rank. He's incompetent though, so soon, CHAOS. He married a rich wife to get out of his situation. Unfortunately, his wife's family lost everything right after the marriage. He was left with a dilemma.
Now he owes other people a lot of money, and they want him to pay. So the last resort is the player... Who might even have the choice to kick him out and take over the manor. Lots of possiblities. Great!

Oh my! It's an interior claim!

This one's in Old Ebonheart, the central imperial city in Morrowind. Additional information: This is the house of an armorer. He makes nice stuff! Selling weapons, armor, repair items and all that kind of stuff, he's not a poor person. Quite the contrary, he is actually one of the richer persons in this city. The armorer is also married and lives together with his wife in the second and third floor of the 3-storey house. It's quite cosy, really. A nice fireplace and fitting chairs can be found in the third floor, as well as a lot of books, a collection of some weapons he seems to like and of course the double-bed, which is awesome and has red pillows.
Unfortunately, I did not decide what race this armorer is supposed to be, however it does not matter much at this stage. Hope I detailed it well enough, 335 objects is not what I call bare though. (However, I deleted some objects later so it might be less, like 330)

Hello,

Today, it's time for yet another snowy exterior claim! My last one for a (probably rather short) while, I'm getting tired of placing the same meshes over and over again so I might want to try out some Ash Swamp claim, that is the brandnew region!
YAY
However, I digress. It's my duty to tell you about this claim. It includes two rather cool places: A small Redoran hamlet along the road (on a spiffy hill) and a literally cool (GET IT) border pass fort in Dunmer-Stronghold-Style! People are saying is looks pretty good, so I shall trust their estimations. It has a pretty bridge leading to a gate and then I added two firepits with exterior stools and guarcarts! Also, it will have seperate shops and stuff for travellers to pass by, and a main entrance, and a storage, probably. The rest of the pass leading to Skyrim, is,  as always, not accessible (yet).
The village is nothing special.
Other than that, I threw some custom skeletons in and stuck glass arrows into one of them. Lots of snow in this claim, very much fun.

Now, screenshots.->>>

Heyyyy


New claim! A mountainous claim, of course. What a surprise...
This is in central map5 and a really magnificent claim, as many people think. It includes a large crevice/canyon with a hidden Nordic Barrow in it, totally! And it's not hidden at all... damn it.
However, it makes sense that this claim is nice because it has large parts of the road leading to a pass leading to Skyrim. Also, it has nice waterfalls.
Uhm... that was it already? NO! It also has an ice cave, just like 5-15. The higher parts of the claim follow Nemon's concept with the sinkholes and flat, snowy areas. Great! Map5 is truly the best map evar...

Oh hey, a Necrom claim!

Hai!
After such a long time, I finally managed to finish another interior claim. This is, like most Necrom claims, a quite important claim. It is the Hall of Pallbearers and Sweeps, located in the Old City.
Now, you will probably ask yourself who those people are. Well, let's begin with the sweeps. Those are cleaners. (WHAT) I mean, that was pretty clear, but the point is that they clean the Necrom catacombs every day. That said, I put a lot of brooms, cloth pieces and brushes in this interior so that it looks appropriate.
The Pallbearers are those transporting the bodies of dead people. They have some stuff in here as well.
Apart from these particular areas there also is a basement that kinda includes two rooms for the general use. A little storage with even more brooms and a spiffy spiderweb, and of course the room where they all eat food and sleep in bunks.
Okay, now there is not much left to say that might be worth listening to (or reading, wtf), so I shall show you some screenshots as always to keep this post all nice and spiffy.
