Description
===========
This mod adds a complete set of heavy armor and weapons intended to be an alternative to Daedric and more visually appealing for "good" characters.

Details
=======
This mod contains no new meshes or artwork.

It is a mixed and match set from different sets for the maximum visual appeal and uses the exact same stats as Daedric, making it a nice alternative to it.

From the Amelion Ceremonial set: Longsword, Cuirass, Gauntlets and Greaves.
From the Mithril set: Helm, Shield and Boots.
From the Silver set: Claymore, WarHammer, WarAxe, Shortsword, Mace, Dagger, Bow and BattleAxe

Location
========
The entire set can be bought from the vendor at The Dividing Line in Leyawiin.

Install
=======

The archive is what I call OMOD-Ready which simply means that it's a normal archive but with extra data contained in it to allow you to quickly convert it to an OMOD for use with Oblivion Mod Manager.

Future
======
*** START COMMENT BY LHAMMONDS ***
It is not likely the original author is going to improve this set any further since it has been 15 months since the last update.
It is also not likely LHammonds will make updates either.
*** END COMMENT BY LHAMMONDS ***

In a future version I'd like to find a better, more balanced way of disseminating the items so that you have to earn them via a quest or series of quests.
Something like a shrine quest, where you have to bring a certain number of ingredients to the shrine, which will send you on another side quest.
When all's said and done you'll be able to choose which two weapons you want, along with the full armor set. Or something like that.
I haven't even begun to delve into the quest/scripting aspect of the CS so I expect that version to be a while off yet.

Your input and ideas are welcome, and thanks for trying the mod!
