Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Falskaar is a popular new lands mod for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim designed by Alexander J. Velicky and released in 2013, set on a large island far from the coast of Tamriel. It adds roughly twenty to thirty hours of gameplay, a totally new region, a series of new spells and shouts, a large and fully-voiced cast plus several new dungeons and a new soundtrack suited to the area.The main quest for the mod starts when the Dragonborn enters Riften and is approached by an old man named Jalamar, who complains about some mercenaries he's seen enter the Dwemer ruin of Mzubthand (newly added for the mod), followed by some horrified screaming. After explaining his attempts to alert the hold guards of the Rift have failed, he asks the Dragonborn to explore the dungeon out of concern that something may be about to attack the city. In doing so, they inadvertently walk through a gateway and find themselves on the unfamiliar island on Falskaar. Things initially appear to be more peaceful than in Skyrim, but it transpires that the settlements of Amber Creek and Staalgarde may be about to go to war, which risks throwing the entire island into chaos.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Falskaar has received mostly positive reviews from both the Skyrim community and even from official publications. The mod was written and designed by Velicky in an effort to land a job with Bethesda, but he ended up being offered a job at Bungie instead, which he accepted in November 2013. Since taking up his job, Falskaar is something of a side-project, and entered version 1.2.0 in October 2015. It is available on Steam and on Nexusnote SE version, although the versions on Nexus are typically more up to date.

Boisterous Bruiser: Ulgar and Svegard both qualify, being much happier living in a small cabin in the forest and hunting than in their family's old mansion. They're much friendlier than most examples of this trope.

Not-So-Well-Intentioned Extremist: Yngvarr claims he's acting in the interests of his people and that's why he's doing the crimes he commits, up to and including attacking innocent settlements and abandoning most of his army to die as a distraction, but this is fairly transparent bullshit covering up his resentment of his rivals and desire to further his own gain. Agmar calls him out on it.

Klingon Scientists Get No Respect
 Falskaar (Video Game) / int_1c3464e5
comment
Klingon Scientists Get No Respect: Averted with magic. Unlike Nords from the mainland, characters will take time to praise you should you use particularly impressive magic. They'll still get cautious in some cases, but it's a far cry from the vanilla game. Yngvarr also recognises the value of using mages, which almost allows him to win when a trio of his paralyse the Dragonborn and Agmar's retinue.

comment
Grim Up North: When the first Nord explorers arrived in Falskaar it was inhospitable and cold, with many of them freezing to death. Ahkrinviing, an aspect of Shor, cut out his heart and gave it to the Nord leader Olav, who used it to transform the southern end of Falskaar into a beautiful area, ripe with vegetation and trees. The northern end is still meant to be frozen, but is presently inaccessible.

Deceased Parents Are the Best: In "Kind Blood", it turns out that Kalevi's biological mother gave up her own chance of escaping Pinevale so her daughter could escape to the safety of Amber Creek. She appears to have died before she could reunite with her daughter, though her fate isn't entirely clear.

comment
Properly Paranoid: After hearing the news that a house was overrun by Falmer and its inhabitants slaughtered, Jalma immediately assigns a sizeable detachment of guards to that area, reasoning that the Dragonborn has probably not wiped out all those responsible. Given the cases of Frostfall Lighthouse and the Falmer just waiting to rush into Markarth through the Dwemer ruins from the main game, this is a really good idea.

Useless Useful Spell: The new shout, "Champion's Spirit", isn't very useful if you play as an Orc, given that it's feature is identical to the Orc racial ability. It's slightly useful if you play as an Orc who specializes in magicnote given that the Orc Racial Ability, Berserker Rage, doesn't affect magic or if you constantly find yourself in situations where you'd need to use the power more than once, but otherwise, Orc Dragonborns are better off sticking with their racial ability.

Fantastic Racism: Surprisingly averted by most of the Nords in Amber Creek, who are welcoming of foreigners and non-Nords. Two Wood Elves have managed to make themselves right at home, and one of the chief monks of the Priory is an Altmer. The Nord bandits and those working for Yngvarr, on the other hand, are fairly xenophobic, although The Dragon, Kolgrim, is an Orc.

Death World: Falskaar was supposedly like this when the Nord migrants arrived.

Dragons were also reportedly on the island. This changed after the southern half of the island was terraformed, although the northern half is still off limits.

Impoverished Patrician: An unusual case where this happens by choice. Ulgar and Svegard are descended from a well-off and long line of Nords that at one point owned a large mansion, but are happier making a simple living in their cabin in the woods. They also note that devoting their time to reclaiming and renovating the mansion feels a little pointless, since they have no family to inherit it after they die.

Driven by Envy: Yngvarr's motivation for starting war in a nutshell, aside from his own gain, is his hatred of Agmar and family for their being admired and respected while the Unnvaldrs are not.

Villainous Breakdown: Towards the end of "Dreams in Oblivion", it becomes apparent that Vernan is losing control of his newfound power, as well as his grip on his sanity. Arnand desperately tries to talk him down, but fails.

Big Bad

comment
Big Bad: Yngvarr, the Jarl of Staalgarde, fills this role for most of the quests on the island, as most of the bad events that happen are his responsibility in some way; on top of that, many of the bandits in Falskaar work for him in some capacity. His ultimate goal is to steal the Heart of the Gods and become immortal.

 Falskaar (Video Game) / int_973d220f
comment
Never My Fault: A large part of Yngvarr's characterisation is defined by his hatred of Agmar and his family for his own perceived lower standing. Ignoring the fact that his domain, Staalgarde, is a large city (by the standards of the island, at least), his ancestors were awful rulers and this caused most of the Nord migrants to abandon them, something he seems completely in denial about.

Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Falskaar's legend speaks of "the Traveler", one who will emerge from the gate of Mzubthand and herald the worst times for the island. No guesses as to who turns up in Falskaar. Jalamar, the old man who asks the Dragonborn to clear the dungeon qualifies as well, having assumed that it was a threat to the local city of Riften.

comment
Evil Is Not a Toy: The reason that Vernan was thrown out of Bailun Priory is because he kept dabbling in experiments that eventually nearly killed two people. Brother Arnand tries to talk him down towards the end of the "Dreams in Oblivion" questline, pointing out that he's nowhere near in control. Sure enough, the crystal sucks him into Oblivion. To call The Heart of the Gods "evil" is a big stretch, but the principle still applies. Yngvarr's efforts to take it over result in him being killed by a giant dragon spirit.

Good Parents: Both Jarl Agmar and Jalma are good parents to their son, who they raise properly and with love. They tell him that while he must eventually take his father's place, he should also enjoy being a child while he still can. Kunnari is a caring father to his daughter, Kalevi. It turns out that he's her adopted father, but that doesn't detract from his parenting.

Sole Survivor: The Bosmer settlement of Pinevale was razed by bandits (supposedly on Yngvarr's orders), with all inhabitants murdered bar one. Said inhabitant turns out to be Kalevi, who was only a baby at the time. The status of her mother is unknown, but she presumably died from sickness. The Dragonborn is the only one to escape from Borvald alive.

Minor Crime Reveals Major Plot
 Falskaar (Video Game) / int_bd79d896
comment
Minor Crime Reveals Major Plot: Played with. The Dragonborn ends up in Falskaar because they're investigating what they think is a major incident. It turns out, however, that it was just a ruin explanation gone wrong, which is standard fare. One of the quests in Amber Creek involves the Dragonborn being asked to kill some wolves that are attacking a farmer's chickens, and follow the last wolf back so that its hideout can be cleared out. In doing so, a coven of necromancers are discovered, leading to the "Dreams In Oblivion" questline.

Used to Be a Sweet Kid: Vernan was formerly one of the monks at Bailun Priory and seemingly was a naive but well-meaning individual. Then he got a bit too ambitious, causing an experiment to go out of control and resulting in his expulsion. After that, he really went off the rails.

Nice Guy: Jarl Agmar, who willingly helps the Dragonborn many times and is an upstanding leader and family man. Double subverted with Wulf. Initially he comes across as nervous and abrasive, but warms up very quickly to the Dragonborn and ends up giving them a very large discount if they help him out. The Priory in general is staffed by nice people, but Arnand stands out, trying to redeem Vernan even when he's going deeper into dark magic territory.

My Species Doth Protest Too Much: In contrast to the xenophobic Nords of Skyrim, many of the Nords in Falskaar are kind and tolerant of non-Nords. They also compliment the player on their magical skill if they use most forms of magic, even if not that many of them do so themselves. One of the chief priests at Bailun Priory, Brother Arnand, is a High Elf and one of the kindest characters in the mod.

The Good King: Jarl Agmar is a Reasonable Authority Figure that cares for his people and does what he can to keep the peace. When it becomes clear war is inevitable and that Yngvarr's motivations go beyond simply taking over Falskaar, he acts quickly and orders everyone to positions they are best suited to. While not a revolutionary, he also believes that the people should decide who they wish to follow, rather than simply be beaten into submission as Yngvarr would try.

Reasonable Authority Figure: Olvar, the guard that first meets the Dragonborn when they come through the portal, notes that he is meant to arrest anyone who arrives that way. However, he agrees to let the Dragonborn off if they help him rescue the blacksmith's apprentice. Jarl Agmar and his wife Jalma are both reasonable to the citizens of their hold and make it clear that protecting them is their top priority. They're not flippant or stuck up either, and while they have their suspicions about Staalgarde's activities they wait for concrete proof before mobilising for war, keeping the peace for as long as it is feasible and sensible. Jarl Valfred of Borvald agrees to help Agmar and the Dragonborn in their fight against Yngvarr. Unfortunately, his city then gets razed, but he is able to help the Dragonborn escape and does a Heroic Sacrifice to ensure they reach Amber Creek.

Hate Sink: Throughout the game, Yngvarr is abrasive, assholish and manipulative. This becomes apparent even before he orders a city razed, kidnaps relatives of his rivals and then sacrifices his own city to further his own goals. To a lesser extent, Kolgrim, The Dragon to Yngvarr, is a sadistic Jerkass who rubs the deaths of innocents into the Dragonborn's face, also willingly partaking in the kidnapping of civilians including children.

Equal-Opportunity Evil: Played with. It's noted that many of the bandits in Falskaar are not Nords and have turned there because (they feel that) they have nowhere else to go. However, this doesn't stop the Nord bandits from shouting racial slurs at the Dragonborn when their non-Nord colleagues are less than five feet away. Similarly, while Yngvarr will willingly recruit non-Nords, he doesn't have all that much sympathy for them.

Evil Is Petty: A good chunk of Yngvarr's actions can be chalked down to spite at best. A good chunk of his resentment towards Agmar is over his family not being followed by the Nords hundreds of years ago, instead choosing to follow the Borvaldurs to safety. Kolgrim takes time to taunt the Dragonborn and Valfred over Borvald being razed.
