This Creation nearly doubles the size of the Forgotten Vale by adding new dungeons and landscapes that are lore-friendly and visually similar to the base game. Most importantly, it elevates the Forgotten Vale from a linear, quest-based experience into a larger world all its own. A new player home, Initiate’s Rest, serves as a base camp from which you can discover the wonders of this lost world. By liberating the Forgotten Vale from the Dawnguard questline, this Creation aims to make it a place that the player can enter, and return to, when and how they choose. In order to maximize compatibility and immersion, this Creation does not alter existing quests, character, and locations of the Forgotten Vale.
