(W.I.P.) I want to upgrade the Sky Haven Temple. Lights and a little cleanin, addition of decoration and even adding a room or two should be easy. As of today I have not completed the Main Quest so am learning as I go along. Some spoilers are included.
Delphine only accepts three companions. IAt some point if this doesn't change as the game progresses I think it should be changed. Should the Dragonborn become the head of the Blades Delphine is acting Grand Master but the Dragborn should be her boss. I would like to add a shrine to Talos and maybe a large basement.

What do the Blades do when the dragons are gone? Stand around and yak as they did in Oblivion? Wander around helping the Dragonborn clean up Skyrim?

I will need help with setting the time when the upgrades kick in. Lights and an extra room or two could be added after the quest to regain the Temple is complete.

Any questions, comments, suggestions are eagerly sought.

As soon a the CK is out I will probably add at least lights to the place.

I believe they do the same things they did before the Oblivion crisis: protect the dragonborn. Sort of bodyguards and eyes and ears sort of thing. Since they now have a dragonborn to protect again, they should have purpose. You could probably send them out again to spy on the Thalmor, or Stormcloaks/Empire depending on who you picked in the civil war.

Nowena, we are getting advanced modding here. Remember I am just a novice. You are talking big time. Good idea if we could get the right help.

Oops. Sorry. I thought you wanted background information ideas. I have no idea how to do any of that.

Background is important too. Any ideas are welcome who knows maybe we will get lucky and find someone to help who can implement some of them. That Forsworn camp has to go. I know you can fast travel, wait, maybe the forsworn camp should stay. But then we need another way in. It just isn't realistic to not have an entrance. It should be secret. After all the Thalmor are after the Blades. Wonder if we can have those portal things in Skyrim like we had in Morrowind and Oblivion. That would work.

Things I know I can do. Add a couple of rooms. We need an alchemy and an enchantment table. The place were you enter when you fast travel is open to the sky. At least around the edges plants can be put and the straggling plants removed. The terrace outside the Temple can be made into a proper garden. Benches for relaxing after your practice sessions. Lights can be added in those dark stairs and hall ways. Some appropriate decorations. I think I can add a basement just need to decide were the entrance should be. A shrine to Talos haven't decided were it should go. In the terrace garden?

You may read this if you want to be able to recruit followers that may even be eledgible to join the Blades.
This way you can manipulate common NPC's to be able to doing such a task.

Thanks, Kosh, that is handy to know. Delphine I think will need to be rescripted to accept new Blades. I don't tthink that a lot of scripting will be needed. Unless we can get some quests going for after the dragons are killed. Not sure what to do with Esbern, make him a trainer maybe. Ha, a trainer in sneak and lockpicking. I would like a smith with the proper equipment. I will need some one to crate a portal if that is possible. I would also like to add some casual dialogue. Things Blades might talk about among themselves. Suggestions welcome.

I think I will need to finish the main quest before I come up with ideas. Otherwise, they may not be appropriate.

No problem, Nowena . We have plenty of time.

added: A little update here. I have posted information about this mod on several sites. Mainly at this time I am looking for potential helpers mainly scripters and ideas and suggestions. I will collect those I think good and hopefully possible here for discussion. One person mention that Bethesda may do a DLC regarding the Blades. As far as I know we have no idea what Beth plans. My response was we mod for fun and do the mods we want if some one likes and enjoys them that is nice but not really important.
