I've been spending the last few weeks tearing down my custom built Ayleid ruin (viewable here:https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/540336/my-ayleid-home-completely-redone#latest) and moving the features into Varlaisvea, and I'm finally ready to show off my work.

Sunnahame - an isolated Ayleid ruin restored by House Aelius to serve as a summer retreat from the tiresome political intrigues of the Heartland.


Player entryway - Guest Bedroom. (In the home's story, the tunnel the player uses is sealed off, making the home only accessible by sea.)

    Looks great!
    I considered buying it but had not enough crowns at the time xD

    Just wish it was less ruined or we had more ayleid furniture to repair it properly.

    @Taris thanks! I had a few issues with the home, mainly wishing it was smaller and more subterranean. But I love the Ayleid theme, so I had to have it in the end. It's been a fun challenge to stretch the few Ayleid furnishings we have in creative ways.

    Nice! :smile: I like how you covered most of the pools to create a more sensible lived-in area!

    Thanks! It definitely felt more sensible, and the Lightwell is the perfect centerpiece! It looks great, and explains the blue light coming from the covered crystal pool.

    Very nicely done! You even added the bookshelf type niches with Welkynd stones on them!
    :)
    What did you use to cover up the way the floor angles downward towards the walls in the upper room? From the photos it looks like the floor is perfectly flat all the way across. Or, am I mistaken?

    I wanted to add bookcases up there but it looked awful.

    @katanagirl1 Thank you! It's just the angle of the photo, though. The bookcases definitely stick out a bit, but there was nothing much else to do with the odd space. You can see the floor slope more in this photo.

    @TheImperfect Thank you!! I tried to keep it lore-appropriate and use as few fire sources as possible. Very pleased with how it came out :)

    Interesting. I didn't even realize the weird angle there :D

    Agreed i wish it was smaller too but more detailed. But to be honest i wisch we had less subterranean ruins in this house xD

    But still a very good job. Hope it will be available next year :)

    I might try to play around with trying to flatten that out, though it will cost slots and be hard to blend in well.

    I really don’t understand why the floors are like that. I can’t recall the delves being that way.

    If you back the bookcases up to the wall there is plenty of bookcase base to cover it for the tall ones, though it looks extremely odd, but the short ones end up floating in air at the back.
