- "An expansion-sized mod for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim with a whole new storyline and region for you to explore. 15+ hours of new content, featuring non-linear quests, new weapons/armor and more. Your actions will determine the fate of Druadach Valley. For better... or for much worse."
- ―Official Description
Lordbound (also called The Elder Scrolls V: Lordbound) is an upcoming DLC-sized mod for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim that takes place in the Druadach Valley between Skyrim and High Rock. It features three storylines regarding the natives of the valley, the invading Imperial legion, and the Orcs of the mountains. The mod is still undergoing development, though is expected to be released in 2017.
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. The Legion now wages war against this Orcish faction, in hopes of reclaiming what is theirs, through conquest.
As the Imperials make their push towards the fortress of Garshakur, with the unlikely assistance of the Thalmor, a young lord named Haelan grieves the recent loss of his father, as his valley is torn apart by Men and Mer alike. His people are displeased with his inaction, as they continue to suffer at the hands of the warring factions. The fields of war lie dormant, as the factions prepare themselves for what is to come. Whatever the choices may be in the end, the fate of the valley will ultimately be determined by outsiders; for better, or for far worse.

Development
Development on Lordbound first began in the summer of 2014,[1] where it originally started as a specialization mod to re-design Mor Khazgur, due to Orcish strongholds in Skyrim being considerably identical. A new questline was being designed to accompany it, with many buildings and characters added to the settlement. The re-design to Mor Khazgur took two months to create, transforming it into an Imperial fort-turned stronghold instead, built into a mountail wall, written to comply with Orcish lore, and complete with three large districts.[2][3] It later went on to become the location of Garshakur, an Orcish settlement in the Druadach Valley, and development of Lordbound as a large mod in a completely new area began.[4] Development briefly halted in winter 2014, though resumed in April 2015.[1] The mod was publicly announced on September 2015. The release date was initially planned to be in summer 2016,[5] though was later delayed to winter 2016.[4] Currently the mod is expected to be released in the later half (Q3 or Q4) of 2017.[1]
