Story Synopsis

The drums of war are beating inside the Druadach Valley. After two hundred years of isolation the valley has restored its severed connections to the provinces of Skyrim and High Rock, exposing its withered remains to the rest of Tamriel. Chief Gorek of Garshakur refuses to surrender his mountain fortress to the Imperial Legion, denying them control of the highly-valued trade route between the cities of Jehanna and Solitude.

As the war wages on, the people of Druadach are forced to seek protection within the walls of Highreach, home of the young Lord Haelan - but even the last bastion of Druadach is threatening to fall at the hands of a mysterious knight of unknown origin, leaving only death in its wake. Whatever the choices are in the end, the fate of the valley rests in the hands of champions; both new and old.

Hi everyone! Mr. Cosmogone here, back again to bring you the latest Lordbound news.

Lordbound Highreach Main Gate at Night

Today we have exciting stuff on the docket as we’ll be talking about our community roadmap until release!

Wait, did I just say release? As in RELEASE?
That’s right! Under the leadership of Raz and Kiria, the team has been hard at work behind the scenes, so much so that we can now confidently aim for a release around March 2025!

We even dropped a trailer to celebrate the occasion:


We hope that you’re as hyped as we are about this. Without further ado, let me show you what we have in store for the next few months:

  • August: Gardale and the Highcrown Mountains
  • September: The Tangled Moot and the southern part of the valley
  • October: Spooky places in the Valley
    • First Livestream: A walk through the regions of Highreach, Gardale and the Tangled Moot
  • November: Motte Malgorath and a brief history of Orcs
  • December: Garshakur and the orcish clans
  • January: History of the Druadach Valley and how it all fits in the pre-existing lore
  • February: Art Showcase! Join us for a look at our new items and spells, and what it took to make them
    • Second Livestream: A stroll through orcish territories and the wilds of the valley
  • March: With the release fast approaching, we’ll provide you with a more detailed list of what you can expect in the mod. Dungeons, spells, items and our revised playtime estimate (Spoiler alert, it’s only growing bigger)
    • Third Livestream: One last preview of what awaits you once you venture into the valley

More ModDB Blogposts: I will be your host through the rest of our tour of the Valley. We’ll explore each region, talking about development, its challenges, and the stories and lore of the Druadach Valley. Expect a new blogpost every month from now on.

Livestreams: Hosted by Neshkor and Kiria, the project leads old and new will take you through what we’ve built. Come and join us for an exclusive look at never before seen dungeons and vistas, and to hear Neshkor’s war stories of a time when Lordbound was young.

Character Spotlights: Later down the line, we’ll start posting short introductions to various important people of the valley, be they friend or foe. Stay tuned on Discord to know more.

Lordbound Garshakur Arena Exterior

That’s all for today. Next month we’ll be looking at war-torn Gardale, the Reachmen of the north, and the Dwemer legacy in the Druadach Valley.

  • Despite the release being in sight, we are, as always, open for recruitment. If you’re willing to help, please join us on Discord and send a DM to Kiria.

We are specifically looking for people with experience in:

  • Quest Design
  • Interior and Exterior Level Design
  • Living World Design
  • Visual Artists

More information about these roles is available on our Discord, in the #recruitment channel.

Thank you and see you all next month!

Is this project alive? If so, why won't the development team release a trailer or make news about the work done?
