I thought it would be cool to have some nomadic settlements in the desert and when I read the source information and knew I wouldn't be breaking the lore (Big Grin) it sealed the deal

Source:
"...What this established, in a more understandable sense, was a rotational power base in which both sides of khajiit society, the city-dwellers under the nobility and the nomadic tribes of the desert chieftains, shared alternate control of the region based on the phases of Masser and Secunda..."

I imagined the shelters to be in groups of between 2-5, being made out of whatever materials could be scavanged, probably a light wooden frame, covered with any fabrics and cloths that could be found, similar to those of the african tribes.

Here is a detailed one on its own, if someone is using these pictures as a reference I recommend this one as I spent more time on it:

Here is a less detail rough outline of the campsite, possibly similar to the ashlander yurt settlements of morrowind:

Looks good, but I don't think there would be a fire going on in there. I'd imagine the yurts to be used to get shade from the desert heat, not create more of it.
A fire for the night perhaps? It gets cold in deserts. That reminds, will we have a small (so as not to get annoying) frost damage at nights in the desert?

The idea was that the fire was for nights because it gets pretty chilly then, and also something to cook on.
Yeah, I just remembered Desert nights are really cold after I posted. Is it possible to have a script saying that there should be a fire there from night to day?
I think the campfires in vanilla oblivion only light at night, if i remember correctly, same with the lighthouse so I'm assuming you can.
I like it, but it doesn't realy seem to fit in.
What do you think would suit the nomadic tribes more?
That is similar to what I was going for.

A bit like the Ashlander yurts in TES3 I guess? Yeah, I think that would work. :yes:
Maybe a little more cloth in the construction?
