History

SureAI's first project, ''Arktwend: The Forgotten Realm'', began development in March 2003 as a full conversion mod for '' The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind'', and SureAI itself was founded in October 2003. In May 2005, SureAI merged with another modding team, Black Raven, who were working on their own ''Morrowind'' total conversion project called ''Myar Aranath: Relicts of Kallidar''. ''Myar Aranath'' released in October of 2005, along with SureAI's official website. ''Arktwend'' released in February 2006. Both of these mods (and SureAI's other full conversion mods for ''The Elder Scrolls'' games) are set in the fictional world of Vyn. Shortly after releasing ''Arktwend'', SureAI began work on their next project, a full conversion mod for '' The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion'' called ''Nehrim: At Fate's Edge.'' In May 2009, SureAI released ''Cube Experimental'', a mod for ''
