Mod overview: Glenmoril - Omni-guides/Tuxborn GitHub Wiki

"How do I launch Glenmoril?"

Glenmoril will auto-launch once you reach level 30, and you go to the main gate of Falkreath. You'll see a little girl you'll have to help, and you'll get an objective to talk to an NPC named Brandt.

"Why do voices in Glenmoril sound weird? Are they generated by AI?"

Glenmoril was originally written in Japanese, and it's not actually completed yet. So what English voicing is available is AI-generated, yes, using the xVASynth tool.

The same team that's done English voicing acting for Vigilant and Unslaad has said they'll also do Glenmoril once it's finished.

"Hang on, Glenmoril isn't finished?"

Correct. Act 4 is not done yet. If you don't like the idea of playing an unfinished mod (or a mod that uses AI for its voices), you may want to sit this one out.

"How can I get back to Skyrim when I'm done playing Glenmoril?"

Look for a music box where you get off the boat ride. This music box should allow you to return to Tamriel.

Methods covered in Means of teleportation in Tuxborn should also work, as long as where you end up in Glenmoril satisfies the conditions for those various methods.

Last but not least, if you have trouble finding the music box or if you have no other means of self-teleportation, you can punt to using the coc command in the console. You'll need to know a location code for an appropriate location to return to. We recommend coc DBMDGHallofHeroes to put yourself back into the Hall of Heroes office in the LOTD museum, which will conveniently put you in a good spot to clear any displayable items out of your inventory.

Any other location code should work with coc, though. Refer to the UESP for appropriate other location codes for base game locations.

"Why do children in Glenmoril, like Lalanoah, look so different from other Skyrim children?"

This is by design, it's part of the original mod and how Vicn envisioned them.

We are running Foamimi's mod to overhaul NPC appearances in Glenmoril, but her additional patch to cover the children doesn't apply for our load order, as we aren't running RS Children.

"Does Glenmoril have any custom followers?"

Two: Brandt and Ozwald. However, they are temporary followers, and are only present during certain scenes. Their dialogue is not as extensive as fully custom followers such as Gore or Auri, but they do have reactions to locations specific to the mod.

"What armor sets are available in Glenmoril?"

There are several custom armor sets available with this mod. None of them have any special abilities or enchantments, but they do have very unique looks. So if you're looking for something unusual for your Dragonborn to wear, you might have a look at these.

Light armor

Details on light armor in Glenmoril...

 

Armor type Material to improve Material on deconstruct Notes
Assassin Leather Leather Strips Close-fitting set in dark gray and ivory. Includes armor, mask, gauntlets, and boots. Main armor piece comes with a cape, so you may or may not want to wear a cloak with this. Possibly suitable for members of the Thieves Guild or Dark Brotherhood.
Apostate Leather Leather Strips Only seems to include a mask/hat, but it does count for light armor.
Aradia's Ebony Yes Also only seems to include a mask/hat, but again, light armor. Witch hat style with a skull mask.
Ashlander Chitin Plate Chitin Plate Close-fitting hood and mask similar to chitin helmets on Solstheim. Comes in two variants, one with a three-part left eyepiece rather than a standard one.
Beast Hunter Leather Leather Strips Includes coat, boots, gloves, hat, and mask. The coat and boots come in black and brown varieties, the hat is a wide-brimmed hat that sits atop the head, and the mask covers the lower half of the face.
Black Owl Leather, Ebony Leather Strips, Firewood Mostly light armor in black and gold. Head piece comes in two variants, a hat and a mask. Back piece is a coffin but appears to function only as armor, rather than a literal coffin. Coffin piece requires ebony to improve, but all other pieces take leather. The leather items can all be deconstructed at a tanning rack. The coffin item can be deconstructed at a smelter, but it gives back firewood, rather than ebony.
Black Worm Corundum, Quicksilver Refined Moonstone Necromancer-like light armor set that comes in two variants, regular and silver. The regular version requires corundum to improve, and the silver version requires quicksilver.
Brethren Hunter Leather Leather Strips Shades of blue, brown, and ivory. Comes with a wide-brimmed hat of a jauntier design than the Beast Hunter one, coat, gloves, and boots.
Chaplain Leather, Iron Leather Strips Modest light armor set in grays and browns that would befit a religious Dragonborn. Mask is separate from the hood, and comes in two variants, a regular one that works with the hood and an iron one that does not. All pieces can be deconstructed for leather strips at a tanning rack, even the iron mask, even though the iron mask requires iron to improve.
Chick Trader Leather Leather Strips Looks identical in style to the Witch Hunter set, only in different colors. Includes a cloak, although the cloak clips oddly with the armor.4
Chief Assassin Leather Leather Strips Very similar to the Assassin armor in style, just in different colors, brown, cream, and ivory.
Copper Ardeo Corundum Refined Moonstone Looks like a giant traffic cone when placed on your head.
Enlarged Head Human Flesh Ebony Looks like a giant, goopy brain with a lot of eyeballs poking out of it.
Falkreath Guard Vice-Captain Steel Steel Variant on Falkreath-style guard armor, with chain mail. Has two variants of the helmet.
Gulakhan Chitin Plate None Reminiscent of bonemold armor on Solstheim, but in darker colors.
Gold Ardeo Gold Refined Moonstone Gold version of the Copper Ardeo.
Hamah's Iron Mask Iron Iron Head piece that conceals the entire head.
Hircine's Helmet Briar Heart None Your Health Regeneration is increased by 30%. Your Stamina Regeneration is increased by 30%. Your Carry Weight is increased by 50.6 7
Huntress Leather Leather Strips As with above armor sets, includes hat, coat, gloves, and boots. This one is in shades of black and red with accents of brass, and the hat is a tricorne style.
Institute Agent Leather Leather Strips Looks like modified Thalmor mage robes. Head piece is a gas mask.
Institute Officer Leather Leather Strips Looks like slightly more ornate modified Thalmor mage robes. Head piece is a jagged skull mask.
Knight of Radiance Steel Steel No special abilities or enchantments.
Marionette Steel Steel Eight total pieces. Armor comes in dark and white variants. Boots have heels if worn by females. The head piece has four varieties.
Mask of Hircine Briar Heart None Your Magicka Regeneration is increased by 30%. Your Stamina Regeneration is increased by 30%. Your Carry Weight is increased by 50. 6 8
Mayor Leather Leather Strips Only two pieces in this set, Mayor Garb and Mayor Hat, but the Garb covers the entire body. Very ornate, and not sure why this is classed as light armor instead of clothing, but sure roll with it.
Overgrown Crimson Nirnroot Crimson Nirnroot Ebony Your Magic Resistance is increased by 25%. Your Magicka Regeneration is increased by 50%. Your Magicka is increased by 150.5
Overgrown Nirnroot Nirnroot Ebony Your Magic Resistance is increased by 25%. Your Health Regeneration is increased by 50%. Your Health is increased by 150.5
Pailune Musketeer Leather Leather Strips Very ornate style. Includes hat/mask, coat, gloves, and boots. The hat and mask are a single piece, so you can't wear one without the other. The mask is a stylized bird face in ivory.
Plague Doctor Leather Leather Strips Close-fitting armor set in grays and browns. Hood keeps the face visible, while the mask is beak-shaped and fully hides the face.
Silver Ardeo Silver Refined Moonstone Silver version of the Copper Ardeo.
Theologian Leather Leather Strips Very loose-fitting religious-looking armor set in gray and white. Has a regular hood but also hood variants, with different colored masks.
Undead Hunter Bone Meal Refined Moonstone Very spiky, mostly steel and bone. Helmet is a skull on your head.
Witch Hunter Leather Leather Strips Understated in style compared to the other sets, close to Beast Hunter in look, with a long coat, two variants of hat, mask, gloves, and boots. Overall colors are dark gray and tan, with brown leather trim. The mask is another one that covers the lower half of the face. The hat variants are a tricorne and a top hat.
Yelem School Dwarven Metal Dwarven Metal Dwemer-ish light armor set, with metal parts mostly around the head and chest.
Yellow Leather Leather Strips Looks to be mostly made of bandages, in shades of bright yellow and purple. Does some very strange distortion of your head.

General notes:

  1. Unless an item on this list takes material other than leather to improve, you should be able to deconstruct it at a tanning rack. Otherwise, you will need to use a smelter.
  2. Depending on what hairstyle you're using, you may see clipping issues with some of the hats. Experimentation is advised to choose the one that looks best with your character.
  3. Female Dragonborns may find that your chest is noticeably larger when trying these armor sets. Root cause of this appears to be the Glenmoril CBBE patch in our load order.
  4. Also, given what the chick traders actually are in Glenmoril (i.e., slavers), you may or may not want to wear an armor set named after them. Your call!
  5. Cannot be disenchanted or enchanted.
  6. Item cannot be deconstructed at a smelter.
  7. Item teaches the Hircine's Blessing enchantment when disenchanted. Which is recommended, as this is a very tasty enchantment.
  8. Item teaches the Blessing of Hircine enchantment when disenchanted. Which is recommended, as this is a very tasty enchantment.

Heavy armor

Armor type Material to improve Material on deconstruct Notes
Anequina Refined Moonstone Steel Mostly looks like the Wolf armor set for the Companions, but with a Khajiit-style helmet.
Arcane Cage Iron Steel Only includes a "helmet", for values of "helmet" meaning "for some reason you have a literal cage on your head". (May make more actual sense if you run Glenmoril.)
Ashkan Chitin Plate Bone Meal Looks like a variant of Orcish armor, but with decoration to fit the Ashlander tribes of Morrowind.
Champion of Anequina Refined Moonstone Refined Moonstone Looks like an ebony armor variant, but required Refined Moonstone to improve, and yields Refined Moonstone if you smelt it down.
Ghost Knight Steel Steel Looks appropriate for religious characters/paladins to use. Armor comes with a regular and a red variant; other pieces are in shades of gray and brown.
Nord Warrior Orichalcum Steel In shades of green and brown. May be intended for forest-based camouflage? Helmet has a full face mask.
Orcish Archer Helmet Orichalcum Orichalcum No special abilities or enchantments.
Orcish Chief Helmet Orichalcum Orichalcum No special abilities or enchantments.
Void Keeper Ebony Ebony Skeletal-themed armor set in shades of black, gray, and very dark reddish-brown. Head piece is a skull mask. Chest piece looks like a rib cage.
Wraith Steel Steel Not a full armor set, just includes four variants on steel head pieces, all of which look like bloodied or rusted steel to varying degrees.1

General notes:

  1. The mask piece is classed as a circlet in inventory, but still counts as Heavy Armor, so listing it on this table.

"What weapons are available in Glenmoril?"

There are a wide variety of weapons available in Glenmoril. Most notably, Glenmoril is one of two mods in Tuxborn that offers guns as potential weapons for the player. The guns come in one- and two-handed varieties, although how they are classed in your inventory depends on the specific gun.

In all tables, note that there are several cases where the material needed to improve an item is not the same material you get back if you deconstruct it. Cases where this applies are marked with the format X/Y in the relevant table column.

See below sections for more details.

  3. Cannot be disenchanted.
  4. Teaches standard Chaos Damage enchantment if disenchanted.
  5. Presumably an ingredient only available in Glenmoril.
  6. Japanese spelling for guillotine? Anybody know?
  7. Description is misleading. The power "Trick: Shotshell" activates if you wield the weapon in either hand.
  8. Description is misleading. The power "Trick: Quicksilver Bullet" activates if you wield the weapon in either hand.

Staves and pistols

Glenmoril appears to class its one-handed guns (generally, pistols) as "staves", so we're putting them into a separate table here. Along with any actual staves, as well as one-handed guns classed as other types of weapons.

Unless otherwise specified, pistols classed as staves on this table cannot be improved at a grindstone, since the base game does not allow for tempering of staves. (But see below for more info on improving the pistols.) Most of them also cannot be deconstructed, although there are exceptions (see the Material to improve/deconstruct column for specifics).

Details on staves and pistols in Glenmoril...

General notes:

  1. Name is probably a reference to Jills in Elder Scrolls lore.
  2. Adds the Trick: Shotshell power to your Powers list. Description is misleading, though, as the power becomes active if the weapon is equipped in either hand.
  3. Item cannot be disenchanted.
  4. ESO players know who this is: the leader of the Aldmeri Dominion in the Second Era, as portrayed on ESO.

Improving pistols

Pistols cannot be improved at a grindstone, as most weapons in Skyrim can. However, certain pistols can be improved at a forge, if you have one of them in your inventory as well as any other required materials. So far, this is confirmed to work for Witch Hunter Pistols, which can be improved a total of four times at a forge to increase how much damage they do.

We'll update this note appropriately as this is confirmed for other pistol types.

Details of crossbows and rifles in Glenmoril...

General notes:

  1. Description on this is misleading. It's a two-handed weapon so by definition, it will be wielded in both hands. Adds a Lesser Power to your powers list that fires an explosive with it, but this only works if the weapon is actively wielded. Does not appear to consume ammo.|
  2. Probable reference to Jills in Elder Scrolls lore.
  3. Cannot be disenchanted.

Improving rifles

Unlike the one-handed pistols, rifles from Glenmoril can be improved at a grindstone as long as you have appropriate materials.

Ammo

Several types of ammunition are craftable at any forge, and Glenmoril's guns are what that ammunition is for. The various ammunition types take different materials to make, and will be impacted by what perks you've unlocked in Smithing. So be sure to review which ammo types you might be interested in, and make sure you have relevant perks and materials to make those types.

If you do not care to make ammo yourself, Nostos the vendor carries a lot of ammo you can purchase from him.

"What are the Glenmoril items related to Ahzidal?"

Players familiar with Dragonborn will recognize Ahzidal as the name of the dragon priest in Kolbjorn Barrow on Solstheim. Glenmoril has a large number of items related to him, so they get their own section on this page.

"Where can I find the Glenmoril vendor?"

Items in Glenmoril are sold by a vendor, Nostos, who spawns at the Roadside Ruins as soon as you hit level 30. If you're not familiar with the location, it is a short distance roughly northwest of Falkreath, and north-ish of the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary. It's along the same road that runs past the Sanctuary. Keep following that road a short ways north and you should find it to the west of the road.

Nostos sits in the center of the ruins, along with his dog. He sells a wide variety of items (possibly everything in the mod). All items listed further up the page are ones confirmed to be in Nostos' sale inventory. In addition to those things, he also sells the following:

  • An assortment of books, including:
    • Black Book: Debug (contains some quest ID information)
    • Black Book: KRMT, a Speech skill book
    • Black Book: Manners of Communion (contains information on how to replay a completed Glenmoril quest)
    • Four skill books for Alteration

"If I skip running the mod, can I still get items from it?"

Yes. Nostos will be available even if you haven't formally launched the mod, so you can swing by the Roadside Ruins at your convenience to see what he's selling.

"What other recommendations are there for running Glenmoril?"

Due to Act 4 not being done yet, we recommend not starting Glenmoril until you have a guaranteed in-game means to teleport yourself back to the location of your choosing. This is in case you have trouble finding the music box mentioned above.

We also recommend not running Glenmoril until after you've run Vigilant, if you want to go by the recommended narrative order.
