How this mod come in existence
------------------------------

I wanted to make a mod to expand upon Tarhiel for I always found a pity that
Bethesda did not allow to do anything meaningful with him a part of looting his
corpse.

It turns out that Lady Phoenix Fire Rose did a similar mod, but she left a few
minor bugs and the fixed version of the Icarian Flight spell is not of my
liking.

So, since she allows modification I open the editor and, based on her work, I
made the mod of my liking.  I changed the fixed spell to be more useful and I
fleshed Tarhiel himself a bit.

As it works in those cases, if I like it you may like it too.



To Save a Falling Wizard
------------------------

Tarhiel was testing his new spell "Icarian Flight" to reach Seyda Neen.
"Icarian Flight" is a powerful Restoration spell that allows you to make very
long jumps in the world pushing Acrobatics to inhuman levels.  But...  the
effect is short lived and Tarhiel forgot to take the landing into
consideration.

The result could be disastrous if not for an outlander, born on a certain day
to uncertain parents, recently arrived in Vvardenfell that quickly rescued him
with a Slowfall or Levitate spell.

Just a bit fazed by the near-death experience Tarhiel is now even more
determined to fix his spell...

Once rescued, Tarhiel will walk to Seyda Neen and become part of the colorful
lot of the village. He gives Enchanting and Spellmaking services and since
he'll like you and he has a low Merchantile score he may become a good reason
to come back to the starting city a few times during the game.

(When Tarhiel completes the fixed spell you get a journal notification. No need to
go to Seyda Neen just to check.)


History
-------

1. overzealous cleaning stopped the "Your Journal" topic to appear properly
0. released version


Bug fixing
----------

The minor bugs I fixed:
* the mod included a dirty edit. A Bloodmoon greeting about Thirsk being sealed
  forever.
* if you do not talk with Tarhiel while the rescuing spell is active, he
  forgets you rescued him.
* if you rescue Tarhiel casting Levitate on him. He'll wait midair and probably
  fall to his death when the spell wears off.
* few journal entries were not properly marked as completing the quest.

How to rescue Tarhiel:
---------------------

The simplest way is using the large area Slowfall scroll freely available in
the Census and Excise Office of Seyda Neen.

When you hear Tarhiel's scream cast the spell pointing to his journal on the
ground.

There are other ways, read the original readme if you are curious.



To start the quests:
-------------------

Once rescued Tarhiel, to start the quests you need a iron longsword to get a
Iron Sparksword and a Slowfalling scroll to get the fixed Icarian Flight spell
and the scrolls with the old, still broken, spell.



There are three slowfall scrolls in the world:

Free to take:
Seyda Neen, Census and Excise Office, in the room where you can get the lockpick.
Vivec, Telvani Upper Storage, on a crate.

Owned:
Arille also has a copy. That copy allows to start the quest quickly, but it can
be a bit expensive for new characters.



Fixed Icarian Flight
--------------------

Tarhiel needs 28 days to complete his research.

The fixed version of the Spell gives the 1000 Fortify Acrobatics effect for 7
seconds as usual. But in addition, gives 125 Fortify Acrobatics for the
successive 23 seconds. 125 of Acrobatics negates fall damage making the spell
safer.
