Heya, maybe some remember the old "
Tales of the Dead " contest ? We had to create the best backstory for an unfortunate soul ( see picture below), I had a similar idea, but instead of writing "what happened", you have to write "what's going to happen".
I would really like zenimax to release
Direfrost keep II and
Arx Corinium II, all the decor is ready, even though I'm not supposed to know that ( Found a way to get out of both dungeons, and then I discovered all that ) took me ages to screen everything.
Since 2015 ( Tamriel ultimated) they don't care about base game dungeon anymore, it is surely better to sell DLC dungeon pack twice a year. Direfrost keep II is one of these an abandoned feature along with Arx Corinium II.
While the decor is ready, there is not a single book there unlike other dungeons, so I deduced that they had not worked on the "story" part yet. otherwise they would have put it in the crown store since a long time. This is the reason why I suggest a RP contest, along with the release of
Direfrost keep II and
Arx Corinium II.
Rules:
To participate, take a good look at the images below ( and all other information about direfrost keep II). Then, create your own fictional entry that tells us more about the
Direfrost keep II or/and
Arx Corinium II story/stories. You can write a short story, a journal entry, or any other kind of fictional text that sheds more light on what's going to happend.
You can also propose new set idea ( 1H - 1M - 1L and monster set), boss mechanics, the order in which we cross the rooms, everything you want ! Once you’re happy with your creation, share it with us !
You can even propose a name for this dungeon pack ! (
Winter Swamp ect ...)
First you need to complete
Direfrost keep I and/or
Arx Corinium I in normal or veteran, listen carefully to the NPCs, read all books you may find there. so that your creation does not contradict what already happened.
Then prizes could be: ( Remember it's a RP contest idea, you can participate, but there is no prizes unless zenimax think it's a good idea)
- 3000 crown + Iceheart arms pack + Direfrost Keep II dungeon free for you and 3 of your friends + your story and ideas used for Direfrost keep II.

Direfrost keep II:
The Direfrost Keep is the ancestral home of the witch hunting Direfrost clan, this frozen castle has long been sealed to the outside world following an attack by the ice witch Drodda. Its owners have never been seen or heard for generations. Mountain storms rage above the castle walls, conjured up by Drodda.
Below, what I noticed while venturing in the sealed est wing of the castle:
- the decor is ready, only 2 things are missing: a story and mobs.
- Nord furnitures.
- A book about dark magic: (Eidetic Memorry -> Skill Books -> Dark Magic: Three Pretexts)
- stalactites and stalagmites everywhere, there is even an ice-infested corridor.
- the castle is in ruins.
- the brazier burns down a tower, in this tower there is a campfire also active (some people came there recently ?)
- The coat of arms of the direfrost clan ?
Arx Corinium II:
The Second Empire made some advances into the periphery of Black Marsh, but they didn't stay long. While previously constructed and held by the Imperials, the fort has fallen into disrepair and is overrun with Lamias. A group of nereids now occupy the flooded fort and focus on restoring balance to the land. Rumors say the fort is home to a great source of power, although it is perverse, corrupted.
Below, what I noticed while venturing in the west wing of the dungeon.
- the decor is ready, only 3 things are missing: story, mobs/boss, good floor textures.
- Argonian houses ( mud house)
- Not a single book.
- a lot of waterfalls and vegetation
- many doors made with roots, surrounded by caves or decorative doors, probably little " arenas " like in Mazzatun, where you need to kill waves of adds.
- Argonian eggs under the Hist.
- The order in which we cross the rooms is pretty obvious, (screens follow this order)
@ZOS_Finn, you probably made these dungeon, do you plan to finish Arx Corinium, Will we ever seen these beautiful dungeon without having to go over the invisible wall ?
