Withered Hollow - A Vampires Sanctum

It has been a long time coming, yet with the arrival of the Winter Hearth package (Which opened up a whopping 18 additional furnishing slots for me!) I've finally brought my dream homestead to life.

Welcome to Nighrens' Withered Hollow, a little secluded cavern hidden away deep within the desolate realm of coldharbour.


While I had finished most of it shortly after the introduction of the Coldharbour Surreal Estate, I was never truly happy with it. This september I overhauled the Inner Sanctum completely, and now with the Winter Hearth Fireplace, I could at long last replace the awful fireplace that I made out of 12 orcish thrones and an assortment of fiery fireplaces.

And yes, all crafting stations work, despite their placement.

I hope you'll enjoy this 5 minute preview of my passion project! =)

    Not sure what amazed me more. This awesomely built and decorated place, or that statement. ;-)
    Nah, definitely the house.

    Job well done.

    Thank you all for the kind words! I cannot stress enough how happy I am with the final result.

    Now heres to hoping that the furnishing cap will at some point be increased, so that I can get a bit more clutter in the kitchen bar and the workshop.

    Fabulous! I especially liked the quick pullback at the end, like a bat leaving its home.

    Spectacular! The mood and design is perfect, and the paneling in the Silencer's Reliquary is brilliant.

    Definitely remember seeing the design on Nexus for SKyrim. Was a great mod back then.

    It is 10 [Redguard Pillow Roll, Desert Flame] tilted and turned to carefully hide the golden puffs at the ends inside the stone framework of the coffin itself. It took hell of a time to get just right, though I do love the finish!

    I do wish that we had coffins with some nice cushion though, so that I could spare those 10 slots. But alas! even a vampire like you and I deserve to rest comfortably!

    Indeed! I did get inspired by the home layout in "Rayeks End - Hideout" six years ago, since I simply love the "seven rooms" design of a small straight forward, yet personalized cave home. I've wanted something in that very style for my ghastly vampire ever since the release of ESO, and now I finally got to bring that concept to life! =D

    Right? LOL It looks GREAT even if it is an item slot hog! I have piled a bunch of pillows in the Alinor open sarcophagus for one of my vampires as her napping spot. LOL

    The builds I tend to like the best are those that make each (or many) of the rooms a starkly different scene rather than a consistent style throughout, while still maintaining an overall theme. When viewing these types of builds, every time I approach a transition, I am excited to see what's next.

    This is a great example of that. While the whole build is riddled with examples, the view from the library back to the soul gem room is a great example of the contrast between two 'scenes.'

    The inventory and total cost at the end should be standard in videos. 10x awesome for that alone.
