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.

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)

Happy April, we hope you're all safe and well! It's time for another artist spotlight, and this time it's for a 3D artist! Remnant has been an absolute joy to work with, bringing to life some of the prop and furniture concepts our 2D artists have produced! You'll see a lot of his work all throughout Alinor, just look at that gorgeous weapon rack right there!
Here's what Remnant has to say:
On the outside, we so often only see the final moments of someone's work. Whether that be a work of art for us to get lost in or a new piece of technology that will take us further into the 21st century. Only rarely do we have the opportunity to see the struggles. The blood, sweat and tears that all of us go through, we more often than not see those represented as a great distance between ourselves and someone that we are inspired by. We don't see the internet searches, the conversations, the questions, that helped to reach that inspiring result. Nobody's journey is easy. But it is a journey we all take together whether it be through that inspiration, or those shared tears, or the questions you asked or answered. My artistic journey through college and so far in Alinor was not done alone. It was not done without the struggles. I have learned and taught. I have cried and reached out. I have succeeded and failed. I will continue on.
Thank you.
Some great words there from Remnant. It's no secret that every asset goes through a long development pipeline, and even the smallest of props is well enough considered to seamlessly fit into the world we're creating. Moving ever closer to our eventual goal, we hope you enjoy the work we're showing off, and if you think you could help us create this magical land, apply!
Another week, another Artist Spotlight! You may have seen this artist's work before, and if you haven't then you'll become very familiar once you get to play our mod! FrostRunner is the talent behind the architecture style of the city of Firsthold, as well as other props, creatures and armours he's done for us!Here's what FrostRunner has to say:Hello there! I'm Frostrunner and I'm an Illustrator/Concept-artist from Sweden. I have as long as I can remember been fascinated by video games and have always wanted to be a part of that world in some way. I started painting as a kid. But I didn't take it serious until I was 20(ish) and that's when I realized that maybe if I worked hard enough I could paint for games! so for the last 10(ish) years have I been painting and learning. My main passion has always been fantasy and my style could be described as semi-realistic. I love to paint characters and environments. So last fall when I got invited to join Alinor as a concept-artist I was super happy! To work with a team like this is incredible! The passion and heart that goes in to every object, big or small is super inspiring! Nothing feels better as an artist than seeing your work brought to life and in-game! As we're continuing production on our mod, our artists are churning out amazing concepts and models for you to see!FrostRunner's ArtStationApply For Alinor Here!TwitterInstagramNirn Uncharted (Community Discord Server)
Turning the spotlight over to one of our most dedicated artists, Naariel is another concept artist bringing you clutter and props that flesh out our world! Coming from a portraiture background, Naariel's technical concept art skills have only soared upwards since she's been with us, and she's now a member of multiple modding communities!Here's what Naariel has to say:I'm Naariel, and I'm an artist! Not only do I do concept art for Alinor and teach concept art in the Arcane University, but I also work as a freelance illustrator. If you're also a World of Warcraft art fan, there's a small chance you have seen one of my portraits. I'm relatively new to the Skyrim modding community as I joined last summer. But the teamwork, positive attitude and friendly folk on Alinor has made me feel so welcome. I work alongside some very talented artists, writers and devs. It feels like I've known some of you for years already.I'm super excited to see what we will create together! Teamwork is one of the fundamental cornerstones of our community. No one person is bigger than a project, and everyone is appreciated! Only together can we bring these ideas to fruition. Sending love out there to everyone following along, and to those who wish to join our ranks, apply away!Naariel's ArtStationApply For Alinor Here!TwitterInstagramNirn Uncharted (Community Discord Server)
Moving on over to yet another talented artist, Corvaeraas is bringing you clutter and props that bring to life the realm of the Altmer!
Here's what Corvaeraas has to say-
"I can say that as a mostly character/creature artist, working on props for Alinor has given me an appreciation for the smaller things. And I came out with a better understanding of shape design and rendering materials than when I first started. I'm still learning as I go and seeing what the other artists in the team are working on is really inspiring!"
A lot of our artists come from a multitude of disciplines, and we cater to everybody's strengths! With such a dedicated team, we've got everything covered, and even the most experienced artists try something new!
