About

Carved Brink is a large quest modification, from the authors of Project AHO. This mod adds to Skyrim: a daedric plan of Peryite - The Pits, and an unknown part of Oblivion - Faceted Stones. One of the many Daedric pocket planes hidden throughout Oblivion. Many years ago, it was inhabited by Snow Elves, but now this place belongs to another race - Goblin. Embark on an adventure for treasure, make unusual acquaintances, and be tested with the trial of the Daedra. New locations - explore Peryite’s “The Pits”, and two cities inhabited by goblins. There are more than 40 small and large locations; Vertical gameplay, new enemies, weapons and armor; New quests - two main quest lines: daedric trial and funny adventure, and some side quests that will acquaint you with the life of the goblins; New characters - more than 50 fully voiced NPCs with unique characteristics and problems; New music - 14 beautiful compositions made exclusively for us by professional German composer - ForhirMusic (you heard his music in Project AHO).
