About

Beyond Reach is a DLC sized mod that takes place in the east of High Rock, commonly known as The Reach. You will experience a story of intrigue, conspiracies sowed by both men and gods, and the struggles of those in the most squalid situations. The reach, a land of grey skies with no respite beneath them. Where the soil is drenched with the tears of Kynareth and the love of Mara has little haven. Where a pox ravages the lands to the west, and threatens to spill further to endanger the whole of Tamriel. Take your adventures beyond Markarth to encounter a new spiteful realm, full with danger and the shelter you find isn't free from the horrors outside. Is this despair caused by the people? Or by some force that lurks beyond the ether? Do the Witchmen act on their own behalf? Or are they the puppets of something much more sinister? These questions will be found out as you trek your way across quagmires, cliff faces, dense valleys and the bitter cold. Exploration is a key feature of this mod, with multiple shortcuts and unlikely routes making your trek across the region more exhilarating, yet more dangerous. Quality voice acting and an engrossing Main Quest will have you immersed in the harrowing story of a downtrodden land and people.
