Note: Fallaran has nothing to do with the book, A Tale of Two Cities, by Charles Dickens. The name relates to the city of Fallaran's struggle with Hirraen.

     Fallaran is a city located in the Inner Sea, south-west of Vvardenfel. It was once a place well known in Vvardenfel and all of Morrowind, but the city Hirraen tricked Vvardenfel into disgracing Fallaran. Fallaran was wiped from everyone's mind in Vvardenfel, and the life of the city struggled. Hirraen, soon after, made a mad grab for power, but the attempt was thwarted by the Imperial Legion at the Hawkmoth Garrison. Now, neither of these cities is spoke of in Vvardenfel, and it is rare to find a person who has heard of them. Fallaran's life hang by a thread as the city of Hirraen prepares to reclaim it's "rightful" place.

     Fallaran will offer quests for many guilds from Morrowind, along with a unique main quest and many miscellaneous quests. In the mod, there will be three cities. Fallaran, Hirraen, and Ebonheart. Both Fallaran and Ebonheart will be populated with unique NPCs.

     You might ask yourself, "How can you be making a mod before Oblivion is released?". Quite simple actually, I'm working on things such as history, plot and storyline, quests, meshes, textures, other media, and anything else that doesn't have to wait for Oblivion. You can check out the FAQ below for answers to more questions. Feel free to take a look, and even send in feedback and/or ideas. You can either e-mail them to me at smm@mse.com or PM me on the Elder Scrolls Forums as "Szazmyrr3" (without the quotes). Or, you can discuss it on the Elder Scrolls Forums, here.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What is the release date?

A. It depends on two main things, a.) when Oblivion is released and b.) when I feel like it. I estimate that development with Oblivion's CS will take about a year, more or less depending on how easy it is to use and how much I add on the go.

Q. How long has it been in development?

A. Since late 2002. I started on the mod (originally for Morrowind) in November of 2002, and have been working on everything, from plot to textures, since.

Q. Where does Fallaran take place?

A. In Morrowind, in the Inner Sea south-west of Vvardenfel.

Q. Why are you making this for Oblivion (which is set in Cyrodiil) then?

A. Because with the TESCS from Morrowind, I wouldn't be able to complete it before...well, a looong time. Also since it will look much better in Oblivion and be much easier to create.

Q. What are the system requirements?

A. No idea, probably those of Oblivion when it comes out.

Q. Can I help you with this mod and/or be a beta tester?

A. I appreciate the offer, but I am doing this as a solo project. However, I do plan to hold a closed beta for it, so when the time comes (I'll announce it) you can beta test it.

Q. I have some ideas/suggestions/comments, what should I do?

A. Tell it to me! You can discuss them on the Elder Scrolls Forums, here. Also, you can e-mail them to me at smm@mse.com or PM me on the Elder Scrolls Forums as "Szazmyrr3" (without the quotes).

Q. What's up with the screenshots?

A. The screenshots are pictures from the Morrowind TESCS. I made most of them just for the purpose of illustrating the history.

Q. Where can I get more information on the mod?

A. You can either check my Elder Scrolls site for updates, or (probably easier) check the main page for Fallaran.
