History VideoGame / BeyondSkyrim

* ''[[https://beyondskyrim.org/projects/cyrodiil/ Cyrodiil: The Seat of Sundered Kings]]'' -- This portion of the mod will take the player back to the setting of ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIVOblivion'', allowing them to explore the heartland of the old and ailing Septim Empire almost 200 years after the Oblivion Crisis. While the Civil War rages in Skyrim, the province struggles with several problems as the wounds and resentments of the Great War are still festering and as the high and mighty nobles of the DecadentCourt of the Imperial City are all busy scheming to seize the Ruby Throne, seeing recent developments as a ripe opportunity to make a play for it. But meanwhile, an ancient evil awakens deep underground. Amidst the power struggle, who will rise to confront this threat -- and at what cost?\\\

* VestigialEmpire: A common theme through most the projects is going to how the weakening of the Cyrodiil Empire is sowing division and discontent both across the provinces it controls as well as its neighboring countries.

* GrimUpNorth: The Roscrea mod seems to downplay it, aiming for something that appears to visually be a mix of the Scottish Hebrides Archipelago and Iceland. The Atmora mod, however, seems to be embracing the trope completely.

''Beyond Skyrim'' is a massive multi-team GameMod project for ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim''. Developed by several affiliated teams of volunteers who are working towards a truly breathtaking and ambitious goal, namely recreating most of the continent of Tamriel and integrating it more or less seamlessly with the base game, allowing the player to literally go beyond the border of Skyrim and experience both new takes on settings of ''Elder Scrolls'' games past as well as hereto little explored areas of the setting. All the developement teams have stated that they aim to make the mods feel [[OriginalFlavour as close to official DLC as possible, to ensure that nothing will feel or seem out of place]]. The project is planned to consist of seven different parts, and in addition three of the development teams are planning put out so-called pre-releases; essentially playable teasers meant to give prospective players an idea of how their mods will look and feel in action. As of this writing, one of the pre-releases, ''Beyond Skyrim: Bruma'', is out, while the other two are still in development.

* IdenticalGrandson: In Bruma, it is possible to meet Harald Burdsson, a descendant of Captain Burd from ''Oblivion'', and he rather resembles his famous ancestor.

* AfterTheEnd: What has been seen from the Morrowind project so far, suggests that the region will by all means lean heavily into this trope, especially when it comes to Vvardenfell itself. But seeing how the Red Mountain's eruption was pretty much a regional apocalyptic event, it is rather justified.

* ExactWords: In Bruma, two Thalmor agents are giving the local priest, Harthir, who runs the Cathedral of Saint Martin a hard time over the fact that he is worshipping and proselytizing about a descendant of Talos, believing that his behavior violates the ban the White-Gold Concordat has put on such activities. Harthir, in best RulesLawyer style, spits back that the letter of the Concordat only forbids the worship of ''Tiber Septim'', [[LoopholeAbuse but Martin Septim is never mentioned at any point in said treaty]]. The two Thalmor agents find themselves utterly unable to formulate a counter argument, and leave embarrassed, swearing to Harthir that he hasn't seen the last of them.

* CuttingOffTheBranches: The Cyrodiil writing team has revealed that "The Seat of Sundered Kings" quest line, the main story arc they have planned for the Cyrodiil area, is going to rely on [[spoiler:the Dark Brotherhood of Skyrim successfully pulling off their assassination of Emperor Titus Mede II]]. Normally this is a deed that is supposed to be performed by the player a part of an entirely optional question line, but if the player has not completed [[spoiler:the Dark Brotherhood]] quest line, they can now potentially have it blocked off it if they advance too far in the Cyrodiil quest line. The developers have however promised that the player will be warned before this cut-off point happens.

* OrderReborn: Multiple villainous inversions actually. The Cyrodiil team have announced that both a Dark Brotherhood and a Thieves' Guild questline are planned to be included with their full release, but since ''Skyrim'' established that, with the sole exception of the local chapter, the Brotherhood had been wiped out across Tamriel, and that the Thieves' Guild had no real presence in Cyrodiil any more, they will focus on re-establishing and rebuilding the local chapters of each.
* StoryArc: The teams have stated that there, due to engine limitations, there is ultimately not going to be much interconnectivity in quests across the different regions of Tamriel. Instead of some big, overarching quest, each region will instead feature a main quest line of their own, but the different main quest lines might occasionally acknowledge the others with a reference here and there.

The mods are still heavily in development, and have no set release dates yet. But the developers are always looking for volunteers and are very open about the process and frequently share updates on their progress, mostly through their official website, which can be found [[https://beyondskyrim.org/ here]], and their Website/YouTube channel, which can be found [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWqQ5maGI-JzbbubDJ8Gg2Q here]].
