Dropped in v2.3 considering it's a general/generic location with no real added value.

With cutting room floor installed the town around nightgate inn is called Helarchen creek. I think they intend it to be the helarchen from arena. So with this mod and CRF there are two Helarchen towns fairly close to each other. This has bothered me personally but could be justified lore wise for all I know.

I always thought this was two separate towns because there is a very small difference in the name:

• Helarchen Creek
• Heljarchen

However, you caused me to look deeper and it seems the names are interchangable: https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Heljarchen I find it odd that Arthmoor would do the same town in town different places in different mods.

He only writes this at AFK about Helarchen Creek mod.

"Tamriel has had many villages on maps for as far back as anyone can remember. What happened to them all? Nobody really knows. This mod is simply my take on bringing one back from Elder Scrolls: Arena. Helarchen Creek was a small village in the game somewhere in the mountains near Dawnstar. Originally it appears as though Bethesda planned to put this around the Nightgate Inn, but then changed the name on that and cut the content. Some further research using old Arena maps placed the village further north anyway, so here it is."

I reached out the Arthmoor and he considers them to be separate settlements, despite the name similarity. You can see that conversation here for confirmation:

I thought it was weird too after realizing he made both. His reasoning is good, thanks for asking.

I just remembered there is also Heljarchen Hall lol.
