Dragon Lord Castle
This is a large open concept castle for those looking for a castle worthy of Dovakiin!
This is my a castle fit for a Dragon Lord!
I am constantly adding new content! Check out the change log 🙂
** Recommend use of the “Unlimited Bookshelves” for best experience **
Current Features:
– Massive Main Hall with 5 merchants and Alchemy / forge / cooking / enchantment tables
– Massive Library with a live Dragon + spell merchant
– Massive Pool Room with Live Dragon and one of the most intricate wall structures ever created
– Massive Private quarters with lots of places for decorations
– Treasure room with many mannequins and weapon cases
– And it keeps going!
**All storage containers are static meaning I will not remove anything and can be used now to store items.**
I will be doing a lot of decorating and adding NPC’s over the next week.
To Install:
Use Nexus MOD manager *or* :
Simply unzip file into your Skyrim\Data Directory, launch game, select Data files and ensure Dragon Lord Castle is selected. You only need to download the latest version. I keep the old one’s posted in the archive in case anyone needs to back-level.
To access:

House is now located due south of Whiterun on the hill and shows as a
marker on your map! Read release notes for details
Additionally you can use ‘coc massive2’ to directly access the mod.
