Introduction

Winds and storms, embrace us now,
Lay waste the light of day,
Open gates to darker lands
We spread our wings and fly away.

Emperor, Alsvartr (The Oath)

I will include technical information as well as pointers on mod development. If you work hard, you can get some fun stuff done through mod authoring.
