Skyrim: The Elder Scrolls let's you join a war

A location from "Skyrim: The Elder Scroll's" called Valenwood, which is the homeland of the Bosmer race, will now let players explore the area and join a fight against Thalmor's oppressive rule, according to PC Gamer.

The new mod is called Assault on Valenwood and it comes with its own detailed map and some instructions for players looking to get the most out of their time in the Bosmer homeland.

Assault on Valenwood is just one of the endless amount of mods for "Skyrim: Special Edition" version 1.5.73 and beyond and will also require players to have all "Skyrim" DLCs including Dawnguard, Dragonborn, and Hearthfire.

Assault on Valenwood is set during a time when there is no longer a treaty between The Empire and the Aldmeri Dominion. The Aldmeri Dominion is an alliance created by High Elf supremacist group the Thalmor.

Their rule over Valenwood has caused unrest among the native people, and player exploring Valenwood may find help from certain Bosmer and Khajiit as well as the attacking Imperial forces.

For players who are ready to take part in Assault on Valenwood, it is suggested to stock up on potions and recruiting some followers before journeying into Valenwood, as there are a lot of Thalmor ready for the player.
