Dragonheart Priory: Custom Antiquarian's Build
Malvagor
✭✭
Hello! This is my entirely custom build in the lovely Antiquarian's Alpine Gallery, Dragonheart Priory. I had the idea to do a monastery/cloister inspired build and the new solitude structures (especially the arches) worked out perfect for it! The little backstory I've concocted for this build is that the priory was formerly owned by a dragon-worshipping cult and has since been turned into a private home for my character (lorebook below). Feel free to visit the house @Malvagor on PC NA, comments and mails are very much appreciated! Hope you enjoy!
Glamour shot - my main character in an appropriately culty outfit, standing in the main sanctum.
The doorway to the existing house is boarded up - this is the view you get when you circle round the right side of the house.
Statue and shrine to an ancient dragon priest on a platform near the entrance, outside the priory.
After looking at the statue, you turn around and are greeted with a mysterious view of the custom structure - the high walls and the sight of the chapel in the background are meant to feel a little private and pique your interest, much like a real cloister.
View of the structure up close - cloister entrance on the left and the imposing form of the main chapel hall on the right.
Perspective as you enter the building. This arched colonnade/cloister walkway forms a square around the courtyard of the building. This array of arches to create a walkway was actually my starting point for the build - I had the idea in my head so I crafted 10 arches, laid them out in a line and the effect was beautiful.
View of interior courtyard from the walkway.
Garden and cosy firepit in the center of the courtyard. I can't overstate how serene and calming this space is to hang out in, if you have the chance do visit as it's best appreciated in person.
Alternate view of courtyard - all 7 crafting stations for my home base with some appropriate clutter around. The space really turned out far better than expected and now I do all my crafting/idling back here.
Reading corner with a small sofa.
Outfit station framed by the arched colonnade with a view of the waterfall and little resting seat.
Exiting the courtyard area on the way to the chapel, there's a small shrine with a damaged statue and dragon tablet.
Central nave of the chapel building, after going through the courtyard cloisters.
Murals set into the wall from the "Dragons of the Merethic Era" furnishing pack.
Pipe organ at the back of the church, this took ~60 item slots using scavenged columns as pipes, books for keys and a bunch of other furnishing items like the new craglorn frame and display cases.
Close-up shot of the pipe organ.
To the right of the organ, there's a small private bedroom at the back of the chapel building hidden behind a curtain.
Last but not least, on one of the chapel pews I have a custom EHT text with my backstory lore for this build.
Vantage point of the whole build from a viewing platform on the waterfall.
Thanks for reading!

Teridax941✭✭✭Now I really want those Solitude Archways, they look epic!
That must have cost a fortune to buy/craft all that stuff but well done, well done indeed! I love dragon priest stuff (shocker I know) and you've done a marvelous job with how that place looks!

Malvagor✭✭Thanks all for the great comments, glad you enjoyed it! Feel free to steal ideas or pop by and visit, the crafting area is really relaxing
As for cost, I estimate it took about 1500 mundane runes given how my stash depleted, didn't keep track of the other materials or gold costs but it was all worth it.2 -
