Saw this at Gamespy, but a search revealed that it's only posted in the Console section here - applies to PC as well:
Bethesda sends word today that its new downloadable content pack Fighter's Stronghold for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion will be available on PC and Xbox 360 for free for one week, beginning October 15th. PC gamers will be able to grab the new pack from www.elderscrolls.com and naturally, the Xbox Live Marketplace will host the 360 pack.

Defeat the attacking marauders and become lord of Battlehorn Castle. Located in the Colovian Highlands west of Chorrol, this expansive castle will allow you to live the life of a noble warrior, with private quarters, grand dining hall, wine cellar, barracks, training room and more. And what castle would be complete without a few hidden passages and dark secrets?


Features:

# A fully detailed castle for you to explore
# Knights of the True Horn patrol the castle and do your bidding
# Secret treasure vault
# Upgrade the furnishings in every area of the castle
# Hire a vintner to create special wines to enhance your fighting abilities
# Hire a combat trainer to spar with
# Hire a taxidermist to craft lifelike trophies for your great hall
# Purchase an ancient Dwemer Forge that buffs your Armorer skill

Pricing after the one week of free access has not been announced.

Souns good. Although probably doesn't amount to much compared to all the other mods out. TBH the fan baised mods are almost always far better. Not played the game in like a year but i will be playing it a lot when i get my new pc :P

Might have to go on a new mod downloading spree. Ive only got 7gb of mods for oblvion :)

:EDIT:

Someoine spam this thread on the 15th so we are all reminded to download lmao!
 
This is essentially what was going to known as "Frostfire Castle" - about eighteen months ago. There has been much complaining that all the add-on "special" houses were for more-or-less dishonest characters, and this is intended to add one of the lawful types.

And I've tried several of the so-called "best" fan-made add-on houses and most are rubbish - sorry.

What mods have you tried? I went through a very extensive mod finding few years lol. I found some very nice houses and one of them even gave me a castle with quests to do.

Oscours overhalls were by far the best when i was playing for balance issues and items along with quests.
 
Dunno why it is but I find it impossible to play good guys in these types of games. Stealing money so that I can buy the better armour is so much easier!

Thanks for the reminder.


Yeah i find it hard to play good guys but at least with oscars overhaul it makes it a bit more tricky. Allyou gota do is join the mages guild and sell all their equipment and youll make a fortune lol. But with oscars ovehaul it counts as stealing them. (probably the best mod for the game as it changes everything in the game and adds tones of new quests and makes it more difficult with more monsters which arnt level scaled etc)


:EDIT:

I cant find it on their website? all i can find is information about it.

Lord Kelvyn's Last Will and Testament

I, Lord Kelvyn, son of Jaren, and a sworn Knight of the True Horn, upon my death do hereby bequeath Battlehorn Castle and all her lands, dependents, and chattels to the bearer of this document.

Such an unusual document requires some explanation. I resort to such measures out of desperation. I pen this while Battlehorn Castle lies besieged by a band of ruthless marauders, with little hope that any of us will survive. "Besieged" I say, although this petty battle would not have even rated a footnote in the great days of the Knights of the True Horn. We have fallen on hard times, indeed.

I will entrust this document to my last faithful retainers, with instructions to destroy it in the last extremity, although I accept that I may have provided the means for my murderers to legally take the lordship of Battlehorn Castle. So be it.

To the new lord of Battlehorn Castle, whoever you are, know that you inherit a stronghold with a proud tradition. Battlehorn Castle was built by a remnant of the Knights of the True Horn who were exiled from our homeland of Lainlyn in Hammerfell. After a failed battle to dethrone Baron Shrike of Lainlyn, our leader, Lord Kain, ordered us to split up into as many small groups as possible until the time should come that he would recall us. My father was part of a group that settled here in Cyrodiil and built Battlehorn Castle as a refuge while they waited for Lord Kain's message... a message that never arrived.

Over the years, all the Knights of our little band either gave up or passed on, all but one: my father Jaren. Since his untimely death, I have continued to hold Battlehorn Castle in the hope that someday we will hear from Lord Kain and our great exile will be at an end.

I am afraid that the fortunes of Battlehorn Castle have fallen on hard times. What resources I had available I devoted to maintaining the castle itself -- its walls still stand strong and its hearths still provide warmth. Sadly, this came at great cost, and many of the items within its walls had to be sold in order to meet the enormous payments such maintenance begets. If you find yourself with the means to restore Battlehorn Castle to its former glory, a friend of my father's named Nilphas Omellian still holds many of the castle accoutrements in storage and on account. All that is required is to repay the Castle's debts to Nilphas, and I'm certain he'll happily return the items.

My final request for the new lord of Battlehorn Castle is to continue to uphold the proud traditions of the Knights of the True Horn, and to honor the memory of our brave service.

Is it me or does Lord Kelvyn sound like a nigerian scammer?

(can't see download link either)
 
Found two secret areas, one of them having something rather shocking. The upgrades for this castle are 2.5k. It's been so long since I have played the game that I cannot remember where I've stashed all my stuff.
