Warchief Stronghold

Description
My first upload! Feel free to leave a comment!

----------------------
Introduction
----------------------
Adds a medium-sized defensible stronghold to the tundra of whiterun for the dragonborn to claim as his/her own.

----------------------
What you get
----------------------
A brutal good looking home in the tundra complete with a drawbridge, three watchtowers, many sharpened sticks, a house, a smithy and a dirtcellar for storage. Also contains all crafting stations.
The stronghold contains lots of weapon displays, bookshelves and non-respawning containers all placed in an immersive manner. No perfect rows of identical chests here (I hate those). The stronghold is fully navmeshed and companion-friendly, just dont tell your companion to wait outside the walls, raise the drawbridge and call on him/her. He/she might die if you do so. Because under the drawbridge is a hole with sharp pointy sticks. Beware.

PS: You have to kill a paranoid bandit chief who lives in the stronghold...

amazing. I walled up the place and spawned loads of imperials then had a bow fight...I'm not sure if the bandit guy was supposed to be friendly or not but he was so he lives for now...damn shame about that paranoia though lol

The sounds outside are a great mix with the journal

This is a permanent fixture in my load order for one of my orc's homes. Damn amazing job laying out a homey fort with a frontier feel to it. Thanks. :D
