## Summary

Aurbis is an early access mod that turns Skyrim into a persistent online roleplaying world, where players’ actions can have lasting effects. It builds on the original game with MMO-style systems for social play, cooperation and PvP, while making roleplaying optional.

Players develop characters over time, with Birthsigns shaping skill growth and choices such as vampirism or lycanthropy available at creation. The mod adds player-run crafting and an economy, groups called Cohorts, survival and horse-management systems, death penalties, and language and literacy skills; it requires Skyrim version 1.6.1170, and access to the beta is by invite.
