This latest beta brings the single largest systems expansion since the launch of BHKS: TNG. With the arrival of Thenius Marbrand and the establishment of the Will of the Crown, your rule is no longer just symbolic — it’s administrative, economic, and deeply consequential.
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 a...
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...

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 ...
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'...

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 n...

Over the past week, I’ve been digging deep (literally) into the Highreach worldspace, transforming it into a true valley, complete with:
