I don’t understand how they managed to instantly detect me when I was sneaking, proved to be a little annoying when I was trying to line up a shot with the bow and I got detected instantly before I can deliver the kill shot. Especially the higher guards, I suppose they would be more like elite guards. The combat aspect of the mod felt balanced, I was expecting to easily defeat the Thalmor agents but was quickly proven wrong when they actually gave me a challenge. Although the mod does have a back-story to explain why it is up in a rather inhospitable place.

As the mountains often has snowstorms and blizzards up there. It integrates itself into the world of Skyrim seamlessly despite having a stronghold in an inhospitable environment. I did enjoy the exploration aspect of the mod since it is in a place that most players probably would not give a second look at. The adventure can be started by heading to the Eastmarch Imperial camp, looking around and you may find the Thalmor’s first camp and some ‘secret orders’ regarding the lost stronghold. Since it is unmarked, you must find the hidden Thalmor camp and reach the stronghold by yourself by your own means. I say the quest is unmarked since the mod’s focus is on the journey to reach the lost Orc stronghold. It is part of his/her “fight against the Thalmor” series available on both Skyrim Nexus and the Steam Workshop. Adal Matar the Lost Stronghold – Fight Against the Thalmor I (that’s a really long title) is an unmarked adventure by MadFrenchie.
