 WELCOME TO RAVENBURG CASTLE
 

This mod adds a huge castle with it's own quest. 
The Castle is south-east of Ivarstead. It took 8 months to complete this. The castle is carefully furnished and has custom ambient sounds. It can work without Dawnguard and it is a cool house for vampire characters. 

**************************************************************
IMPORTANT: To start the quest simply visit Whiterun and wait for the courier to give you the letter from Jarl.
