Let me give you a little tour of my Silent Springs Demesne. This is a centerpiece I created right outside the front entrance from a variety of objects. There's a sacrificial heart in that brazier... it is far too large to be a playable race's heart. Odd item.

If you want to see larger views to see the details on some of the rarer items included in the pictures just right-click the image and open in another tab.



Here's a visitor's first glimps of the ramp to the top floor, with a Molag Bal banner just peeking out at the top, and a ceiling mounted brazier to light the area.



This is the ramp up to the top floor.



This is what the top floor looks like once you're across from the ramp.



Here's a view from the tower overlooking Arenthia in Reaper's March. This house is as outside of the normal zones as one can get, right by the (inoperative) gate to the zone to the north.



A view of the front of Strident Springs.



The entrance centerpiece I created with a couple of links of the chains broken off a dolmen.



This is an argonian stone nest with several eggs.



This is the front entrance.



This is the stairs up to the house and the various items you see right when you port in.



Strident springs waterfall.



I stocked the pond with fishies, swamp plants, kelp and some surprises.



This is the fishing deck of the pond.



A distant view from the other side of the pond.



Here's a view of a lovely Hist tree.



Here's my Shriven mount drawing the Wagon of Death through the back yard.



Here's the view from the battlements where I placed a ballista for defense. The item says "interactive" but it is not so far as I can tell. You can only fit in the front half of the battlements area as the invisible wall is nonsensically right down its middle line.



Strident's front entrance.



Here's what's for dinner.



This is a view looking from the top floor down to the entrance.



Here's a giant crafted tapestry.



This is my work area and laboratory.



One of three bedrooms.



Another bedroom.



The kitchen.



Seating for visitors and a Map of Tamriel.

Welcome to my house!

A bit of preamble, before I show you around; my favourite of the options available was the Hunding’s Palatial Hall, however, it didn’t really suit my main character, and since I wanted to buy my first house with her, I went for my second favourite: the Gorinir Estate in Grahtwood. It is essentially a tiered tree-house surrounded by sprawling mossy grounds, and though the round architecture made it a little challenging to decorate, I had a lot of fun coming up with ideas and solutions. Nevertheless, if some things seem insensible and/or defying the laws of nature, my excuse is that my main is an Altmer magicka sorcerer, so everything is held together by magic!

Moving onwards from the entrance, there is a path that leads to a shrine of sorts (the light of Meridia – a tribute to my character's escape from the clutches of Molag Bal):

From all the things I made, this winding stairwell is my favourite, and funnily enough, it was a happy accident (to echo Bob Ross ); I had originally bought the stone slabs for a creating a cobblestone path, but they turned out to be too big, so I used them instead as steps. There is a landing at the top that is perfect for sitting to read a book, but also picturesque, and secluded enough, for other sorts of activities. Ehem.

The first of the tree pods is the hearth area, the middle is the library/drawing room, and the third one is the bedchamber:

I’ve included a little table in the garden since the climate in Grahtwood is great for outdoor shenanigans:

Here is my Khajiit again, lighting one of the torches positioned throughout the grounds:

Fun with pets:

One last view from the top at dawn break:

Thank you for visiting!

nice


and I want to ask, what is the name of the stone blocks, that you used to build the stairs?
