Beyond Skyrim

Day 12: Morrowind isn't just a land of mushrooms and ash. Closer to Skyrim's border, you'll find lush, mountainous regions such as these, though the fauna hidden within the trees might not be as familiar-seeming as the landscape itself.

Day 5 and we head to the harsh deserts of Hammerfell where Kairou is likely to be the first real settlement you see after the dangerous trek across the Alik’r. It’s for good reason that most prefer to follow the coastline, or better still, go by boat and avoid the hazards of the desert entirely.

On day three, we visit the farthest end of Elsweyr's northern canyons... These arid lands are the border to the rust-red Badlands of Central Anequina; a harsh and wicked region. Rare caravansary travel through these rocky lowlands, bringing goods to Orcrest, Corinthe and Dune. Believe the rumors of bandits and beasts, my friend, for the Clanmothers' gaze does not reach these cruel sands

Day 2 and we head north to the isle of Roscrea for a look at a piece of their fearsome weaponry. 'The Roscreans are a proud warrior race with the ferocious Bear Cult at the forefront of many of their popular legends. Armed with iron, steel, or the mysterious metal known as ‘mithril’ the common Roscrean combatant will charge into the heat of war with a fiery passion and a weapon such as this. Simple yet elegant, a Roscrean sword is a testament to the skill of the culture to which it was born, and a menacing last sight to many an unlucky soul.'

On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me... Today is the start of advent and to that effect I'd like to introduce to you the first Beyond Skyrim Advent Calendar! Be prepared for updates from our projects EVERYDAY between now and Christmas Eve, where we have some extra special to show you. To start the calendar off here is just a peek at some of the wonderful landscaping Beyond Skyrim: Cyrodiil has done this year.

The Beyond Skyrim: Elsweyr 3D team is hard at work on the city state of Rimmen. GenoWerter has created a beautiful 3D render of Rimmen's main gatehouse.

Beyond Skyrim: Elsweyr continues to work on the first landscaping pass of Anequina (northern Elsweyr). Today we would like to showcase some stunning screenshots of the Dry Grasslands (landscaping by Tim (Boato))

You guys think you’re spooky, but the Iliac Bay team might have you beat this October.
