Welcome to Nadoret. The small town in the Kosh where you still can find the genuine adventurers. And many different characters wound up in this town as well. There you can find just a little off the crowded alleys a man, who doesn't seem to speak to anyone at first. But if you accept him as he is, then you will get to know somebody who can sell you many useful things. For now, I don't want to give away any more details, but if you don't want to find them out yourself, you can go to bottom of this document. There you will find all the information about this MOD.

Many thanks to the team of betatesters 1r0n1mUs, Angro, ali96, Backfisch, Christian, Rodario, Ruppi, TazmanDevil and TomKyle

The modification was translated by Xeledon. Thank you very much!

You may place a link to this address on any Website you would like to. If you want to offer a download of the full MOD on any other sites, then please be so kind as to inform me about it at the aforementioned forum (including a
link). I really would like to know how many people are interested in my work and want to download and install this MOD and I hope that you will understand this. Overall, this MOD certainly took around twelve hours of my time for each of the Twelfgods.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The author doesn't assume any liability for possible damages at any existing savegame. The usage of this MOD will be at your own responsibility and risk.

You will find two subfolders in this archive. One of them contains the MOD, whilst the other contains a savegamepatch.
If you want to install this MOD under Vista or Windows 7, you will have to have administrator privileges, otherwise there might be some problems with writing access.
It might be helpful if "Drakensang - The River of Time" is NOT installed to your Windows' program-folder-directory.

INSTALLING THE MOD:
In the "MOD Stummer Alrik"-folder, you will find a batch-file called "Install.bat". By running it, the MOD is integrated into the database of "Drakensang - The River of Time". This should work at any directory of your
hard-drive. The files need to be extracted first, though! 
If against your expectations this shouldn't work, please copy the batch-file and the corresponding subfolders "stummer_alrik" and "icons" to the installation directory of "Drakensang - The River of Time" and start the
batch-file at this location.
A DOS-box will be opened and some messages will appear. If installation has been successfull, the BATCH-installer will tell you so. To make sure, that it really worked, you can check if the database at the "/export/db"-subfolder in the installation directory of "Drakensang - The River of Time" was changed to the current system's date and time.
If you are using Windows 7 or Vista there might be problems with writing access to the program-directory whilest copying the new icons. You then have to copy the "textures/icons"-folder into the "export"-folder of the installation directory manually.

==> CAUTION <== 
If you want to use this MOD, you have to start a new game! Yet, if you want to integrate the MOD into an existing game, there is a savegame-patch. If you start anew, your heroes stats might not suffice to master the whole dialogue. You then have to return later on, when you have gained more experience and increased your stats.

INSTALLING THE SAVEGAMEPATCH:
This patch is only necessary if you want to integrate the MOD into an existing savegame. The MOD itself HAS to be installed first, as the savegame will try to access the databases!
In the "SavegamePatch"-folder you can find 3 files. Copy all of them into the directory of the savegame you want to change (if you want to find out, which one will be the right savegame, you can take a look at the JPG-preview-pictures or open the *.nfo-File with your Text-Editor), and patch the Savegame by running the batch-file "Savegamepatch.bat". The Savegames are usually located in the "User Files" (XP) or "Documents" (Vista, Win7)
"/Drakensang_TRoT/profiles/default/save/" followed by the savegame-subfolder.

==> Notice <==
By changing the savegame, its date will be changed to the current system's date. Therefore, the savegame usually will appear at position four in the list of saved games while playing "Drakensang - TRoT".
(Exception: Continue or Quicksave).
==> When you load the savegame, Silent Alrik will appear in Nadoret. The quest will be much more fun, though, if you are visiting him with a low-level-party.

---<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>---
------------------------------------------------------------------------

In order to uninstall, just run the batch-file "Deinstall.bat".
This will undo all the changes to the databases. If the installation directory couldn't be found, you will have to move the folders and files of the MOD to the installation directory of "Drakensang - TRoT" manually (just do as it says above) and run the file at this location.

The installer will create backups for all the databases, so you can undo the changes without using the uninstaller. Just delete the modified databases and rename the backup-files.

==> CAUTION <== 
All the savegames created with this MOD won't work without it being installed. Loading them will result in a system crash!!!!!

---<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>---
------------------------------------------------------------------------

===>The MOD "Silent Alrik" implements into "Drakensang - TRoT":<===
A new NPC by the name of Silent Alrik. He will be located nearby the small market on a wooden pier. If you can't find him, just have a look at the minimap on the screenshot.
A dialogue with Silent Alrik, in which you first have to find out, who he really is and what he wants to do with you. Several talents will be necessary in this. There are some clues in the dialogue sequence as to which talent has to be increased to carry on.
The dialogue has been implemented as a new quest as well. Besides of some EP you will be rewarded with the "Ring of Derpas Mata", which increases each Social Talent by 2.
After you have completed the quest, Silent Alrik will show you the goods that he sells. There you can buy some nice new things and recipes. Next to Alrik, there is a chest with different stuff in it. New icons have been created for many of the new items in the inventory.

===>Some items that can be bought from Silent Alrik:<===
	* Kegs of Ferdok pale ale: A mace whose content will increase your
          courage (+2),
	* Ring of Craftsmanship: All Artisan Talents +2
	* Ring of Attributio: All learned Attributio Spells +2
	* Ring of Willpower: An artefact of the Goddess Rondra herself that is
          no longer lost: Willpower +8
	* Map of the Prowler: TA Streetwise is increased by 5
	* Book "Old sliding puzzles of the Kosh" (Including a solution for the
          sliding puzzle at the temple of Efferd [Thanks to Amosh!])
	* Book "Personal horoscope"
	* "The book of dwarf-jokes"
	* "The book of elven-jokes"
	* Book "Concerning dwarves"
	* and lots of other stuff including a Walking Stick, Ghul's bones, a
          magical broom, more yew and holm oak wood...

===>Furthermore, Silent Alrik sells 26 new recipes...<===
...which are mostly there to eliminate big shortages or implement some unused items that have already been there in the databases. Some of them have been modified as they had originally been designed as "NPC-weapons". All these
recipes are using ingredients that seemed logical and none of them is creating a money-exploit.
	* Recipe for Double Distillate
	* Recipe for Destilled Alcohol
	* Instructions for Steel
	* Instructions for Kosh Steel
	* Secret instructions for Dwarven Steel
	* Instructions for Padded Arm Greaves

	* Instructions for Charcoal
	* On the preparation of Salve Fat
	* Pattern for Wolfskull
	* Pattern for Fur Coat
	* Pattern for Shadowrobe
	* Creating Diamond Dust
	* Instructions for carving a special ring out of wood
	* The Philosopher's Stone (Turning stone to gold)

	* Instructions for Deer Catcher
