SHS Welcomes Beyond the Law NPC Mod!
Sunday, January 21, 2007

This Mod introduces 2 new NPCs to the BG2 Gaming Experience, as well as a lengthy quest that spans most of Shadows of Amn.
- Kova, a mage/thief with an unsavoury baackground and good heart (or so he claims)
- Kiyone, a law-enforcing, impartial (or so she claims) archer

This Mod looks into proving one man’s innocence against the odds, and highlights the unlikely yet strong bond formed between the two people, so different yet so much alike.

Kiyone is a top ranger from a group called the Sentinels, with a reputation for being an investigator, tracker, and a capable judge, and was sent South to assist Magistrate Bylanna in hunting down an elusive criminal known as Kova.

Kova is a man wanted by many powerful organisations for a variety of crimes he claims he didn’t commit, and comes across as cynical and sardonic, unwilling to open himself to others except through jibes of sorts, with a tendency to cautious unenthusiasm about adventuring heroics.

SHS Welcomes ‘Legend of the Acefes’ NWN Mod!
Monday, December 25, 2006

There’s been quite an influx of mods, hasn’t there - and more to come! The Legend of the Acefes is a NWN mod in production by theacefes, creator of the NPC mod ‘Auren’ over at G3.

The Legend of the Acefes is set upon a continent called Damea discovered by a man called Dameas and his companions. No one knows where these men came from if Damea is the only continent and attempts to find a “lost continent” have resulted in explorers and adventurers alike going missing. In terms of technology, Damea is comparable to the early Middle Ages on Earth. There is royalty, nobility, artisans, and the everyday commoner/peasant. Magic does exist in Damea, but wizards are quite rare, and the ability to wield magic is looked upon with both awe and fear. There are and have been many factions in Damea that have frequently waged war upon each other. Damea is full of diverse landscapes, from thick forests to rolling plains, a volcanic mountain range and even a few wastelands. Damea is inhabited by humans and creatures (monsters) of many types. Swordplay is popular as is archery, and horses are an adventurer’s favorite mode of transportation.

The Prophecy: The greatest story in all of Damea is the story of the Acefes. The Acefes is Damea’s most powerful fighter that came to the land from another world and stopped the evil that threatened Damea’s inhabitants. The Acefes is female and arrived with two companions that assisted her greatly. Their exact ages are unknown but it is believed that they are in their mid to late 30s. The Acefes began her fighting career with the Slashers, a semi-secret organization that claim to be the protectors of Damea. More on the Acefes can be found in the Characters thread and more on the Slashers can be found in Factions.

Intrigued? I know I am… ;) You can check out The Legend of the Acefes’ forum here, the History of Damea here and the FAQ here.

I believe Ace is looking for writers - any interested applicants should PM her, or post on the LOTA forum.

Thanks all!

Nathaniel and the Luxleys move to SHS!
Sunday, December 24, 2006

I’d like to welcome Feuille and Miss Sakaki to our growing modders, and also their mods Nathaniel and the Luxleys! Feuille and Miss Sakaki are both wonderful writers (and people) and I hope your stay here will be wonderful, girls!

Nathaniel is a Human Kensai, looking for a man named Latimer Bryce, an ex-members of the Flaming Fist. Nathaniel romances human, elven or half-elven males of Good or Lawful Neutral alignment providing they are not thieves. Note that he will romance druids, but not males of other classes who are aligned True Neutral. You can view more information on Nathaniel here, and visit his forums here! Nathaniel’s SoA portion is complete and available for download, and his ToB portion is currently being worked on. You can view Nathaniel’s ToB progress here.


The Luxley family is a story of intrigue, love, betrayal and mystery - two brothers, Sebastian and Andrei, both visiting the city of Athkatla. Sebastian and Andrei will both befriend the PC regardless of gender, race, class and alignment; they will also banter with each other extensively throughout the game.

You can find out more information about Sebastian and Andrei here, you can view their progress here, and you can visit their forum here!

So - welcome to Spellhold Studios, and Merry Christmas! :)
