A Frozen Hunt - Skyrim Mod/Creation
Project Overview
Story/Themes
Freyda's son has gone missing on a hunting trip, she put out a contract for trackers to find him which the Dragonborn and tracker name Hulfnir will take up together. During tracking down her son they will uncover a plot from the ex-court mage of Dawnstar to take over the city with the help of the Winter's Bite Tribe who are looking to summon long lost beasts called Gehenoths to aid them in this endeavour. This Questline (3 quests) is taking inspiration from the early 2000s mobile game "The Elder Scrolls Travels: Dawnstar" where the ice tribe is looking to take over Dawnstar with the help of the Gehenoths. This story takes place after the events, of that game, around 250 years. In the questline you will have flashbacks/timeline crossings with some of the characters from the original game, allowing us to connect the two stories.
