| "universety of valenwood" |
     |
Cyrodill has as mages guild HQ its universety . I think VW Should have
something like this too . This is what I managed to come up with so far
:
For architecture , we use the cameron paradise architecture with a bit
of IC university architecture . I think this will look really nice ,
when surrounded by forest .
here are some idea's fore parts of these buildings :
A libadry , mostly dedicated to the flora of VW , not only will you
find the botany books here , also quest related books describing rare
fauna and things like that . There
An alchemy storage building , store pretty mutch all ingredients you
can think of , of course with a higher rank in the mages guild you wil
be allowed to use rarer ingredients from this storage building .
Alchemy and alternation teaching rooms , Here you can learn powerfull recepties and spells to control trees .
Living quarters for members of the guiild
a portal room , this room can be accesed by high ranked mages guild members to quickly teleport them to mages guild around VW .
discuss .

It's for the MG right? Because Bosmer aren't really the type for this kind of thing...

Hm.... interesting. Perhaps they could have monopoly on that?

Maybe , when you buy a house in centrian cities ,
instead of buying the kitchen set , storage set , ... You can eather ,
if you are skilled enough in it cast these things yourself or else ,
you could pay a mage to do it for you.

Instead of casting it yourself, buying a one time scroll.

I quite like this, perhaps as a very small bit of backstory the
university was originally the base of all things magical in Valenwood
anyway - a mecca for Bosmeri mages which has become the venue for the
HQ of the Mages guild since the Imperialsation of the province?
Id suggest it was somewhere in the south possibly nearer the coast so
as to keep in contact with magical types from Summerset? But then as
its all very botanical perhaps somewhere in Elden Grove?

My idea, it's totally visually for me. Anyway lets discribe it, in the
south it's tropical and sunny. On a high cliff(with no beach below it)
You got this huge atlmertower, the university. It's bit like gold white
tower in IC. On the clif there large gardens, bit like Orcthanc. With
some small houses for all the gardeners, in the gardens you'll find all
kind of plants from all over Tamriel. The gardens are magically 
SO for short, a huge cliff by the southern sea, big white tower, around
it gardens with all kind of ingrediantplants, at the end of the gardens
the forest begins. Som small house in Altmer style along the paths in
the garden for all the gardeners etc. Lots of Bosmer and Altmer.

I like the idea , but this was planning to be some sort of mages guild
HQ . And this doesnt really sound very mages guild like .

| RE: "universety of valenwood" |

Some ides are unique - like my University of ST (which began before Ob
was released too) - somehow I feel somewhat proprietary towards it.
I have threads in the Common Room and TES3 and elsewhere inviting
people to take part - with invitations to people to form quests linking
the mods. And But few people have volunteered - you lot were certainly
not among them. and bob##### and I are currently creating a Major
Questline based on this for TES3.
Also I now note that you are proposing that the basis of the magical
side of the University of Silgrad be copied here = Alchemy????
I have suggested that Valenwood might have far more going on than the
general description in Dance in the Fire, that there might be major
roads and a far more developed community than Decumus Scotti saw or
realised, and was soundly slapped down with the response that Dance in
the Fire (which I first brought to the Forum's attention) is the be all
and end all = network af small paths and tiny communities 
If you thought a University was a good idea you might have had the courtesy to pm me. and I am very, very 
about this.

Ok I made a quick sketch.
In the left uppercorner a topdown view. It has 4 wall segments, the
openings function as gates, with 5 mainroads to the tower. It's just to
give you guys an idea.
And Raggidman I'm not totally following you... But hey I was thinking of a few developed mayor cities.

What I gleaned from the OP was that the structure was going to be the
library and headquarters of the mages guild. Id like to see it as a
reformed venue from its previous use as a magic centre or something.
Valenwood was bound to have a MG HQ I dont think the idea is stealing
from yours Raggidman, granted that its not totally unique in that the
IC has a mages guild uni and you have set up your silgrad uni which I
personally no very little about.
Perhaps it could be something alltogether different then? A bit more
Valenwoodish so as not to impose - a marbe villa in the high branches
of Falinesti.
Mormacil - Although that does look quite good the Birds eye view is similar to the IC university.

It's build by the altmer, very related to the Eyliads
Total blackuot on how you write that, lol... Anyway, it doens't have to
be called a university to me and beeing specialist in alchemy and
alternation makes sence, Bosmer beeing very fanatic with plants and
alternation school woudl be the magicschool to alter the shapes of
plants for housing.

Ah yes the Aldmer hmm it just strikes me that something so big and
visable (on the coast) would of been mentioned in lore. Then again it
could be a recent structure right? Built by the Bosmer and Altmer in
times of peace and as a symbol of unity - that is if I understand the
climate correctly.

We try to stay within the lore, so we can't do stuff that conflict with
the lore, but there is no reason why we shouldn't add stuff that isn't
mentioned.

I realise that what I was saying is that something so big and visable
would be monumental, built by the Aldmer thousands of years ago,
looking out across to Summerset - its something on par with white gold
tower and thus it would be rather unrealistic for it to never recieve a
mention in all the games lore so far.
Anyway its just my opinion, I'm sort of trying to turn it into less of
a uni as such so as to keep folk happy. Raggidman is very helpfull with
VW and knows his stuff; and this idea has come at a time when the
'university of Silgrad' is being concepted/made.

Ok I came up with this idea, lets say it was an old Altmer
garden/alchemy lab with this huge garden. A spell has hid it from the
mortal eyes. Now the VW MG has found it again and restored it, at least
the garden so far. Maybe we could add an undiscovered cellar for the
player to find. As I said before, I'm not here to steal peoples ideas.
It does not has to be the mayor alchemy library in Tamriel, just a huge
graden with tons of ingrediant for high ranking members to harvest.
Inside just the archmage chambers, some labs and classrooms, and
sleeping qauters too yeah
