Anbennar – Beastbane’s Nightmare
Overhauls Escann and the Deepwoods by adding back the Oldwoods that Castan II Beastbane destroyed long ago in Anbennar lore.
Included 2 new regions (the Oldwoods proper together with it’s northern extension the Greatwoods), playable fey court forest centaur, a new monument with the Oldwoods World Tree (only partially burned down, hence inner Castanor existing).
I guess lorewise, Beastbane met greater resistance than he canonically did and was unable to reach far into the Oldwoods before his attention was turned to the gnolls of Bulwar.
Instead of chasing the gnolls into a hell portal, he returned back to Castanor to finish off the Oldwoods, but during this time its defenders had rallied and he was defeated and killed under the shade of the World Tree, only succeeding in partially burning a single side of it facing towards Castanor. Castanor reinforced what it managed to take from the Oldwoods (Inner Castanor) with the white walls as a border and the centaur kept on doing their thing (plains centaur are made up of those that fled the destruction of the inner Castanor Oldwoods not knowing that Beastbane’s genocide was stopped)
Note: Obviously this messes with a lot of mission trees, so I’ve gone through and adapted all MTs (as far as I know) that touch on affected areas. Given the scale of this mod and the areas affected, some MTs might be a bit wonky.
Compatibility: Not compatible with my other mods, and likely not with most/any other mods. Intended for use exclusively with Steam version 1.36 Anbennar.
