The Heritage of Light - The City of Snow Elves Fan Expansion for Skyrim

City of the Snow Elves is a DLC-sized fan expansion for Skyrim


Skyrim fans, here is something for you today. Modder ‘Buresjakub2003’ has released a new DLC-sized fan expansion for Skyrim, called The City of Snow Elves. This mod adds a new city to the game, complete with new quests, NPCs, and multiple endings.

The City of Snow Elves is the first story in “The Heritage of Light” trilogy, focussing on the life of this small forgotten community. The city has several secret places, dozens of rooms, a few interesting worlds, and many unique characters.

To begin the story, players need to find Vyrthur´s journal, which is located in a chest in one balcony window in the Forgotten Vale. And when the player arrives at the City of Light, he will get to choose who the Dragonborn will join.

The mod has four endings. For the Best ending, the player must find and do several things. For the worst ending, the player must choose a sequence of certain sentences during the decision-making process.

All in all, this is a cool DLC-sized mod that you can download from this link. Sadly, the modder hasn’t shared any video for it. That’s a bummer as a video would have been ideal for showcasing what players can expect from it.

Do note that this fan expansion requires a number of mods. If you don’t have them, you won’t be able to play it. So, you’ll need FSMP – Faster HDT-SMP, Judgement – A Light Based Spell Pack, KS Hairdos SSE, True Snow Elf Race and True Snow Elf Race Improved Textures. This is one of the few fan expansions that come with such mod requirements. So, they might put off some players.
