We are Alinor: The Eternal Paradise, an ‘Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim’ modding project aiming to create the High Elf province of the Summerset Isles, now known as Alinor. We aim to bring you both the island of Auridon and mainland Alinor in a large worldspace. Varying biomes from coast to coast, with all manner of unique flora and fauna designed to feel unique, yet still feel like the Elder Scrolls world you know and love. We have been going strong for over 2 years, with around 100 active members in varying departments from 2D and 3D to writing and level design. Working with prominent Skyrim modding projects, we have designed our mod to be consistent with both the lore you’re familiar with and the lore you’re yet to be introduced to. We have been working hard to design, create, and implement the vast amount of unique assets that we have planned to do this region justice.

Once again, we'd like to shine the spotlight on another one of our talented 2D artists, Pencilcrap! Pencil is another long-time artist of ours, and he's currently working on the architecture set for the city of Vulkhel Guard!
Here's what Pencilcrap has to say-
"Hello, I'm pencilcrap, though I go by "yuutew" in art related things. I do freelance illustration and aim to go for concept art, mainly for video games. My journey with art started out drawing anime fanart back in the day, and from then on, decided I want to draw stuff when I grow up. College came and surprisingly, I didn't major in Fine Art, but in Architecture instead. Unfortunately, I realized too late it wasn't really my calling, and instead of real life houses, I wanted to design and create fantasy art more. More so after I got fascinated with video game art, and the whole process of making one.
I joined Beyond Skyrim because I wanted to give back to the awesome modding community, and help in a way that I know how, designing things. So far, I'm in one group, Iliac Bay, but later on I was invited to join in Alinor, and although I've only designed a few things(so far), it's fun and challenging to design styles I never thought I'd even delve into. The team is also filled with lots of talented people, and I take inspiration from my fellow artists and strive to give it my all.
Being a part of these groups has helped me learn and also grow as an artist, and I look forward to contributing in building these amazing worlds."
We'll be posting more of Pencilcrap's work as time goes on! In the meantime, we'll be showing off more of the talent behind the team in the weeks to come! Do let us know what you think, the team loves hearing your thoughts!
A lot of work goes into our project. Everything you see is the result of countless hours from all of our departments. Today, we wanted to shine a light on one of our 2D Artists, NickRiviera! Nick has been with us for a while, and he's provided some of the concepts we've shown off already, such as the Cobalic armour and weapon set!
Here's what Nick has to say-
"Hi, my name is Nicoló and I'm an Italian Illustrator and concept artist ,or at least that's what I'm aiming to be. Probably like many I've begun my journey in art school. Video games, table top and card games art has always fascinated me, more than how a game plays I was always captured by how the games feels. It's landscapes, characters, looks and more than anything the process on how to get there. It was indeed Skyrim that made me fall in love, the world was so vibrant, deep, its weapons and armors so peculiar, the vibe of its creature and inhabitants really woke my desire to know more of how such a world came to life and how its whole story lives. Since I needed to learn as much as possible on how to concept, on how to tell stories through my artwork I decided to join the Beyond Skyrim projects and it was really a blast. I've been working with them for 4 years now, joined several different projects, among which was Alinor. It was really a challenge with its peculiar Art style and "alien" overall mood. All these challenges helped me grow, learning from others and with others, working at a professional level with professional artists taught me much and helped me really get into the right direction to enter the world of concept art."
We're extremely appreciative of all of the talent on our team. As a volunteer project, we can't ask any more from our members than their passion and their time, and we can't wait to show you more from the individuals that make this project possible!
As nations rise and fall around us...we thrive. As you pick at the scraps of your dying kingdoms...we thrive. Though surrounded by enemies within and without, we thrive!
For there is a place that is still our own. A land of magic and secrets. A nation of artists and scholars. A paradise for the passionate mind.
On these sacred isles, our way of life continues, uninterrupted, as the world burns around us.
So rejoice, invaders, revel in the glory of our Dominion, for soon it will spread across the world.
We are Alinor: The Eternal Paradise, an ‘Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim’ modding project aiming to create the High Elf province of the Summerset Isles, now known as Alinor. We have been hard at work creating a truly unique experience within the Elder Scrolls universe - a province with a distinct and alien culture, and to portray a people living amidst the aftermath of drastic social and political change, brought about by the new rulers of Alinor - the totalitarian Thalmor.
We aim to bring you both the island of Auridon and mainland Alinor in a large worldspace. Many have called The Isles home before, and we plan to show you a land steeped in rich history ripe for discovery. Varying biomes from coast to coast, with all manner of unique flora and fauna designed to feel unique, yet still feel like the Elder Scrolls world you know and love. From the vibrant port city of Firsthold to the awe inspiring glory of the city of Alinor, our mod will feature cities like you have never seen them before in TES:V.
You can find some of our work so far on our Twitter and Instagram pages, as well as our community server, Nirn Uncharted; a collection of new lands mod projects for TES:V, many of which aim to eventually join Beyond Skyrim, including ourselves. (All links below)
