That looks completely awesome - as long as there's paths for the player to take into the mountains, and content for them to discover up there (rather than just having an impassable barrier of steep terrain), this would be great.

Gnomey's image 5 really reminds me just how much explorable real estate is tied up in this area. It's practically as large again as the entire western bank of the Thirr.

A quick additional note regarding your file, Yeti - in those rumors and advice etc. topics (possibly others too) the top response has been left without a Random filter. So players will only ever receive the first response in the list.

I personally like the idea of something a little less on-the-nose. E.g. 'the Low Marches', 'the Drowned Flats', and then let the player find out for themselves through NPCs and visiting the place itself that it is an ashmire.

Referring to the Master Plan, and the need for clear 'regional divisions', I think there's a case to be made for a more evocative name, vanilla-style (e.g. Bitter Coast, West Gash, Red Mountain) rather than another indistinct "Dunmerisyllables Region". "Built into a promontory rising ...

They're used because some of the bridge/wall meshes which Nemon used to create the big ramps and platforms in Almalexia have door-shaped holes in them which need filling.

To confirm, I just tried it out in the CS and 2 Lava_Blacksquare placed vertically does indeed transform these doors into a very nice grate. So that would save some work on the modelling front.

Making these doors see-through would require making all the structures that they are pressed up against also be entirely solid, rather than having regular 'caspering' opposite sides. Probably more trouble than its worth. All 'grates' in vanilla are just straight black solid objects (see: Vivec).

The ruin is great; this whole claim shows a great eye for exterior work, really very well done.

It would be nice if the bridge was flat - it's weird running over it in-game. Perhaps a 'floor tile' could be made with the texture of the bridge, to fill in the gaps?
