** The full release of any of the ''Beyond Skyrim'' projects are probably at least a couple of years out at the time of this writing, but luckily the group has put out a minor project to tease some of the bigger stuff they are working on. The merchant Cardana Pallo has docked in Dawnstar after traveling round the various ports of Tamriel and has collected many items for you to buy. In addition, she has plently of facts and rumors to share about the places she has been. The developers have stated that they are planning to continuously going to update the mod, as more content for the different projects are finished, so make sure to keep an eye on it.

** One of the more notable NPCs the above-mentioned Bijin mods don't touch upon is Jarl Elisif the Fair. To quote the mod's author: "Have you ever laughed at Bethesda for creating a thing called 'Elisif the Fair' that couldn't be further away from that name? Well, with this mod those hilarious days are over, sorry. If you decide to download it anyways this is what you get: This mod is a standalone replacer (which means that all neccessary resources are included) for Jarl Elisif of Solitude. Since according to the lore she is supposed to be a young and gorgeous noble, the aim of this mod is to present something more fitting while hopefully staying natural.". A good compliment to the Bijin mods if one plans on using the above-mentioned Amorous Adventures mod, given that Elisif is one of the romances for that quest who isn't touched by the Bijin mods.

** Much like Inigo, Luicen is amongst one of the more fully realized mod-companions with plenty of personality. Lucien as a person is an {{Adorkable}} (but still somewhat [[DeadpanSnarker snarky]]) Imperial scholar, with a well-written backstory, and fits very organically into the world. He is prone to share his knowledge of history and culture of the places him and the player visits, comment on certain quests with his own delightfully nerdy interjections, and can even hold quite amusing Bioware RPG-esque conversations with other companions (stuff like him getting low-key creeped out by Lydia's stoic demeanor is especially something to behold). But what makes Lucien stand a bit more out, is that this capability extends to quite a few quests and companions added by mods, making Lucien especially interesting if you have some of the more popular quest and companion mods (his nerdy interactions with the though and grumpy Hoth, adds a lot to both characters), as he lends quite a bit of verisimilitude to them by the fact that he is aware of their existence. Another thing that makes Lucien interesting is that he -- due to his academic background -- starts out as a NonActionGuy, who can barley hold a sword, but as the player spend enough time with him, he will ask the player to him teach how to be better at fighting, which gives the player the opportunity to give him some CharacterDevelopment and mould him into formidable fighter or mage. Lucien can also read certain books if the player hands them to him. On top of that, he also comes with a personal quest of sorts, which unlocks once he have come to trust the player a good deal, which will take him and the player to an unique Dwemer dungeon designed by Darkend creator [=JKrojmal=]. Finally, being a morally-upstanding Imperial citizen, Lucien will of course have his own opinion on certain things, and he will not like it if the player joins the Thieves Guild, the Stormcloacks, or the Dark Brotherhood, and will also protest against more morally dubious decisions.\\\
