Welcome to Winterhold, a nearly forgotten town, which suffered many years from devastated homes and population loss. Now, fortunately for the city, everything is about to change to better. People are coming back to their long lost homes with a lot of coins and an amazing plan, which is to bring back life to Winterhold. New shops will arise along with barracks, and a treasury house where citizens will keep their hard earned gold safe.

Beginning Stage Features:
Barriers are posted, materials have been delivered, some trees have been cut where you can now see the stumps that will be excavated in the future. Scaffold is set up and the work has started. Since it's in cold region, Winterhold renovation will take a bit more time to complete, but people are working hard and around the clock to put it all together.
Great defense stonewall has been built around the town to further secure it, and one house was already rebuilt.
Stay tuned and expect for new changes in the next update.

Update Stage 1 Features:
As the construction work moves on, a brand new road has emerged enabling for town's expansion towards the seaside. Hard working people have already built guard's barracks, and 3 more residential houses. Much more is to come, as this is the capitol of magic and mages who have lived here for thousands of years.

Update Stage 2 Features:
Winterhold spirit is coming back as the construction is getting momentum. Now 2 more residential houses have been built and now the constructors are even thinking about building a fighting arena, but we will see about that a bit later. The street magical lights have been posted just on the entrance to the city for now to see if they work, and later they will adjust it through their special spells obtained at the College of Winterhold. Further on, the entrance has been reinforced with moving rods to secure the city even more, and it is a 2 switch system now, that will be converted to 3 switch system in a bit. Oh, one more important thing to notice, there is a broken segment of the bridge to the College which is now also under construction where the mage shop would be, as can be seen by looking at the scaffold below.

Update Stage 3 Features:
One town, three entrances, but so far only one has been fully built. Of course that's not all! New road has been built towards the middle entrance where 1 more house has been built already on a steep slope indicating there will be more buildings in that part of the town. The most important thing this time is, that battle arena has been built and is under construction now, so it is not finished yet. And shop construction is running fine as well having the wall repaired and now adding the base for the shop. One thing is for certain, Winterhold is growing nicely!

Update Stage 4 Features:
Refreshing view from anywhere within Winterhold. Many new buildings saw the daylight as the construction moves on! On one side, you got the most beautiful center of a town with magical details, and on the other side there's a temple of Julianos, pretty unique, isn't it? And the arches on defense walls are amazing too, having a brand new golden Winterhold logo, "WH". You'll see it quite frequently throughout the Winterhold. But that's not all. The town has expanded towards the mountain as well having 4 new residential houses built on a cliff. Seems like the people really want to make Winterhold outstanding and amazing to anyone who visits it, whether they just need to get to the College, or stay in town for a few nights.

Update Stage 5 Features:
Magical street lights done by the very best members of College, a Treasury house, few more residential houses that have already been sold and now just waiting the interior to be finished so the people can move in and start with their daily jobs. It is just amazing sight wherever you look in Winterhold. They have done so much and brought to life whole place, but as always, people are going to improve things whenever they can, so that's never all. And there have been more and more rumors about the arena, and it seems like it will host amazing fights. And apart from all the town details, they even said Winterhold will have a spa, where the people can relax with hot water and lavender fragrance.

Update Stage 6 Features:
The last destroyed house has been finally rebuilt and the scaffolds removed. Blacksmith of Winterhold has already built his smelter and forge on covered stone porch to allow him work in any conditions. Some rumors have turned out to be true already since two market stands have been built near blacksmith's house. And the best part for now, the shop is now finished and ice had formed on it like it was there for centuries. Town is reorganizing well and everything fits in its place slowly.

Update Stage 7 Features:
In a city such is Winterhold, you have to feel safe and relaxed. So the people have built 3 watchtowers near each entrance which will increase security levels. What is important is to note that full gate openers will be located only in each watchtower to allow better control of what is coming inside the city, for example a carriage from some other place will need to ask the guards before entering the city, and even stranger horses cannot pass freely because there is 2 stage opening of the gate which prevents it.

Update Stage 8 Features:
More and more houses are filling the space. What once was no more than few houses community, has now grown to be a full city. That being said, there are several new type houses built out of stone and carved into the cliffs for better spacing. Now they said it is a time to move in and then carry on the construction.
For now, it is unknown how many people will move in next time. But the blacksmith announced his arrival because he thinks it's a high time to make some superior weapons and armor for the town, especially for richest ones, the college members!

Update Stage 9 Features:
Winterhold is still developing, but what's even better is the fact that the people already started moving in. For now, blacksmith Hjalmar and his wife Brenda have moved in their new house near the college, and not only that, they started working and selling some equipment, but that's not all, as they advance they will sell more and more good stuff, after all, they just started working. Note: they sell only on weekends (Loredas and Sundas) Construction-wise, one residential building has been built near the mid watchtower and a little marketplace has been posted on the stone porch where various merchants would sell their goodies. Constructors are currently considering the best spot for a spa they mentioned before. And one more surprise this time. One of the leading visionary from Winterhold came out with an advanced transport system. He drank his potion and had a vision where the ancient dwemer technology was put together to form "metal horse", then again, he knew that natural gas yields fire when lit, so therefore he got to the work and created horseless carriage which can use dwemer technology as pulling object, and natural gas to power it. His creation is displayed in Winterhold near the college's bridge. Who knows, maybe it will become more than just a prototype.

Update Stage 10 Features:
Hard working citizens of Winterhold have moved the boundaries even further this time. Having discovered the deep volcanic water and its healing properties, they found the perfect spot for a spa, and built it. Looking from the peak, you can see how much developed the Winterhold is right now, and apart from blacksmith and other professions, there is one of the best alchemy shops in Skyrim named "Winterman's Chest". They haven't been opened yet and are not in function just yet, but soon they will start working and people would fill the spots.

Update Stage 11 Features:
It seems like there is no pause in Winterhold lately. City's development is still in a momentum and it looks more and more beautiful. This time, the brand new alchemy shop named "Winterman's Chest" which is owned by Ulrik and Reina Winterman has been finished and you can now shop for alchemy products on working days from 8h to 16h, and they offer a nice amount of them. Furthermore, Reina and Ulrik's house has been finished and is located at the mid entrance near the gates, they also plan to have kids. You can find Reina and Ulrik on many places depending on the time of the day all the way from their house, to their shop, Frozen Heart inn and Temple of Julianos.

Update Stage 12 Features:
Finally, long awaited mage's shop has been established and finalized at the College's bridge. Here you can find almost anything you can imagine you need for enchanting and wizardry. Just be careful, magic is not something to play with as it yields enormous power. The man running this magnificent shop is Hugo Rowe, who lives down the street past the Blacksmith's place near the city's entrance. Also, people are starting to come to the spa, although there is still no bard who will work there as entertainer, but it will be sorted soon as he is on his way all the way from Morrowind with his wife. Hugo and Magdalena Rowe are mage couple who makes all the equipment sold at their shop. And finally, The Frozen Heart has been expanded with one more floor and stairs so there is more room for customers and visitors.
Note: Mage shop works on weekdays 7h to 12h so make sure you're on time.

Update Stage 13 Features:
With Winterhold's expansion grows bigger need for food, so this time the fresh bakery shop has been opened in the middle of the Winterhold, just behind The Frozen Heart Inn. Everything is freshly baked by the owners, Clara and Darius Boswell. And the name goes nicely along with their business, "Boswell's Bite Bakery". As the town needs food each day, they agreed to have the shop working everyday from 6h to 12h, after which they go out to enjoy the town.

Update Stage 14 Features:
It took a while to complete, but it is finally here, The Treasury House of Winterhold. It holds as much as 1300+ 32kg gold ingots when it's full, and you can trade with Gustaf, the main responsible staff of the Treasury House who is equipped with as much as 25,000 spt. Working time is each day from 7h to 15h.
Apart from The Treasury House, there is a newly opened meat shop called "Hunter's Steak" which is led by the Heddle family. Magnus, with his wife Thorin is a passionate hunter that hunts just about anything you can wish for, including even whales. You can find whale meat in huge slices of 250kg each that is only seen in his shop. For now, you can't do much with it, but soon there will be recipes that will include whale meat handling. You can visit the shop on work days from 7h to 14h.

Mod status: Constant.
