I've finally finished a massive portion of V2, the Will of the Crown. This role is major and a huge amount of labor and scripting went into creating this role. So what is it?
The Will of the Crown:
The Will of the Crown is the High King’s chief administrator—overseeing the kingdom’s infrastructure, expense management, upgrades, and decrees. He turns the player’s ambitions into reality, handling everything from budget crises to domain improvements, and occasional...
The next beta release of Become High King of Skyrim: The Next Generation is here, and with it comes a major leap forward in customization, immersion, and political power. You now rule not only with your sword — but with policy, reputation, and council.
This version is absolutely mammoth and checked off MANY of the pieces of the V2 Roadmap.

“Forged in secret and quenched in traitors’ blood, this curved blade is unnaturally light and wickedly fast. Whispers cling to its edge—some say it drinks the strength of those it wounds.”
A brand-new standalone weapon is now available to all Patrons — both free and paid tiers!
Bloodtide is a razor-fast, enchanted scimitar styled after Karliah’s legendary blade. It boasts high damage, rapid swing speed, and stamina-dra...

With Version 2 on the horizon, it's time to lift the curtain on two of the most important systems being added to Become High King of Skyrim: The Next Generation:
⚖️ The Popularity & Approval System

These are the backbone of your reign — how you are seen, and how you stay funded.

The next era of Highreach begins now.
Patreon supporters can now access the Beta Release of Version 2 — a massive overhaul that expands, refines, and reimagines nearly every part of the High King's home experience.
Here’s what’s included in the beta:
🏔️ Highreach Relocated
Highreach is no longer tucked beside Solitude — it now stands proudly in the Jerall Mountains, nestled in a snowy valley near the border o...
I wanted to share a little bit of progress and my thought processes on how I'm going to handle Highreach Castle's girth increase in V2. As you know, we'll be adding a plethora (Hefe, would you say I have a plethora?) of new NPCs for the various add on roles that will both be for the Council AND some immersion (cooks, janitors, jesters(?), etc...) plus I want to turn the Castle into a Heartfire's compatible, move your family in type place. So there's obviously a lack of those rooms currently. ...

One of the things that makes Skyrim special is the way a well-crafted piece of armor can feel like a part of the world’s history. That’s why I’m excited to announce that Simdrew1993 has created new textures for both the Nord Steel armor set and the Highreach Guard armors, and they look absolutely incredible.
These new designs are more than just visual upgrades — they capture the rugged, battle-worn feel of Skyri...

Over the past week, I’ve been digging deep (literally) into the Highreach worldspace, transforming it into a true valley, complete with:
🌊 Coldrun Lake – A glacial, mist-covered lake at the heart of the valley, fed by rivers and overlooked by the spires of Highreach Keep.

• Fixed a bug where spouses (Elisif, Ulfric, and vanilla) wouldn’t move after marriage
• AI overhaul for royal spouses — no more Elisif standing around doing nothing
• Royal Spouse appointment now works for all spouses (just needed a cleaner dialogue condition)
• Highreach pools now have proper undressing and redressing logic — no more wandering nudists in the throne room
