Sutvaka Fortified Estate

In the mountains between dragons, bandits, giants and the icy cold weather there is safety to be found. On a ridge defiantly stands the Sutvaka Fortified Estate between these dangers of the wilds. So drop the drawbridge and enter.

To get the key to the Estate you must travel to Fort Dunstad. In the Fort Dunstad prison, go to the top floor and look underneath the table. There is a strongbox on the floor which holds the key and an additional note. You could also try to find Sparrow. He is a high level character who you have to kill to get the key. Sparrow is optional because some players reported that he would not appear.

Sutvaka is a Windhelm styled player home located near shearpoint between Whiterun and Windhelm. It has a Player home, a tower with a view, barracks for your staff, a prison, secret chambers and an escape route through a tunnel system. In these tunnels lives a smuggler who buys stolen goods. To enter Sutvaka, just drop the drawbridge and open the portculis. The buttons for both are behind a pillar to your right. One in front of the drawbridge and one after the drawbridge.

This medium/large sized player home is equiped with all the things you might need. But for a lot is hidden away in the secret chambers below Sutvaka.To get to these hidden chambers, go to the basement armory where a button is hidden. This button will open the secret door leading to the chambers. However the basics for sharpening and improving can also be found in the barracks.

Here's a list of what you'll find:

FAQ.
-------------------------------------------
Q - How do i download?
A - Just click the subscribe button and wait at startup until all your mods are properly loaded and updated.

Q - I cant get into sutvaka.
A - To drop the drawbridge activate the top pullbar at the gatehouse. You should see 2 pullbars when you open the gate of the gatehouse. The top one is for both bridges. The bottom one is a backup in case the back bridge is behaving out of sync. To open the portcullis, walk across the bridge and look behind the first collum to your right. There is a button mounted on the pillar which opens the gate.

Q - I cant find Sutvaka
A - This one is actualy tricky and can be caused due to various reasons. A common reason is that you haven't let the mod manager properly load. Another reason can be a load order problem. So far i haven't found any mods that conflict with Sutvaka.

Q - I cant find the secret chamber.
A - Go to the basement armory in the main house (the room with 2 mannequins and weaponracks) and look for a wallmounted Chaurus head. The head is a button that opens a secret door.

Q - The vault is locked and i cant find the lever.
A - The pullbar is located up on a wall to your left. Use a torch because it is hidden in darkness.

Q - NPC's have grayface.
A - This is a Creationkit - Steamupload issue. The creationkit wont upload facemeshes to steam.
If it realy bugs you then you best switch over to the Nexus version. Nexus does allow Face Mesh and Texture upload.

Q - Can i move my family here?
A - Only if you use the Custom family home mod made by VitchRazor.
