I'm not expert in Oblivion as I'm expert in Morrowind; however please post feedback and all the questions you have, and I will do my best to give you a satisfying answer.
Let's go discovering Goldmoor, the first part of Tamriel Rebuilt's Hammerfell project!
Tamriel Rebuilt is a massive effort to reconstruct Tamriel, piece by piece, based on Elder Scrolls lore. Currently, we are working on brining the province of Hammerfell to life. Hammerfell is a diverse province populated by the warlike Redguards, descendants of the mythic Ragada. Hammerfell is as diverse in its peoples and culture as it is in its landscape, the Forbears and Crowns still fight for domination after millennia.
Complete map of Hammerfell
We are starting with the Goldmoor: a region of grasslands and swamps in the south of Hammerfell. Goldmoor contains the Forbear cities of Rihad and Taneth, and borders Cyrodiil's Goldcoast. Rihad is a strongly militaristic city lead by a Marxist type dictator, while Taneth is lead by Clavilla, a queen bent of eradicating the Raga culture and replacing it with imperial customs. The architecture of Rihad and Taneth strongly influenced that of Anvil.
After months of work by our modelers and modders, Noirgrim has recently generated Goldmoor. The screenshots and video below are simply of the procedurally generated region. Exterior claims are now open and modders will detail and breath live into the Goldmoor.

We believe that custom assets are absolutely essential to making Hammerfell unique. After all, the plants of Hammerfell are nothing like those of Cyrodiil, and the Redguards armor and weapons are strongly influenced by their Yoku roots. It is for this reason that our wonderfull graphic artists have created hundreds of models and textures for Goldmoor alone. Below is just a small sample of the architecture of Goldmoor.

Work has already started on the next region of Hammerfell, the Helkori. Hammerfell is an extremely varied province, featuring rugged mountains, harsh deserts, and everything in between. The Hammerfell Heightmap has been finished for a while, but here are some brand new pictures for those who have yet to see it. The custom map for Hammerfell can be viewed in TIL's map section, and more screenshots of the heightmap can be seen here.

What Can I Do To Help?
We cannot make this dream reality without your help. You can do just about anything to contribute to our cause. One could start of by simply showing your support, by placing us in your signature for example. If you would like to be a modder for the project, all you have to do is register on the forum and make a showcase. We are currently in need for Voice Actors and Quest Makers (scripters) for Stirk. Modelers and Texturers are essential to making Hammerfell look great. People who can make AI are also necessary. There are the new exterior claims, which allow you to work directly on Hammerfell. As always, everyone and anyone is welcome![/left]
