Description
===========
This mod adds to Oblivion a female wood elf companion based on "Partners Companions mod basic" by Blackie.

Location
========
She is one of the survivors of Kvatch. I like to find a good archer available to help me in one of the tents of Kvatch encampment. I hope you like too.

Details
=======
As the legend tells, the Elves were extraordinary blacksmiths, and their armours are so light that wearing them were like wear robes. I like to think this is true, and I equipped her according to this idea.

Glaween wears a special version of the armour of the Elves, “Elven Eldar Sky Armour”, and is armed with a special version of the Elven short sword, “The voice of reason”.
*”Elven Eldar Sky Armour” is part of “Sin’s expanded light armour”. I give credit to him for his beautiful work. Is not a retexture of the Elven Armour, it adds a new version in Sky colour of it and I like it very much. In this mod only Glaween wears it. I changed the name of items to have not compatibility problems in case you want to use the original "Sin's Expanded light Armour" mod.
* “The voice of reason” is developed by The Bard, and is a sword with random enchantment. I give him credit for his beautiful work.

Glaween is not too beautiful but is a combat companion, not a model, at least she is not too ugly. She is a good archer but also a decent swordsman when needed and an excellent companion for your travel.

Install
=======
First of all you need to install and activate CM Partners Companions Mod 1.8 by Blocky, both CM Partners .esm and CM Partners .esp. If you have already installed any other CM Partner Companion, you can skip this step. Then you can install Glaween following the instruction below. To work in good way this plugin requires the latest Oblivion patch. You can download it athttp://www.elderscrolls.com/downloads/updates_patches.htm

Upgrade
=======
If you downloaded Glaween light 1.0 and you don’t want the special equipment, you don't need to do anything.

Incompatibility
===============
None that I know. I guarantee the perfect compatibility to both English International and Italian version of Oblivion. If you have any compatibility problem, please let me know.

Known Issues or Bugs
====================
English isn't my mother-tongue, so there can be language mistakes in the mod (as well as here in the read-me).
Solution is simple: ignore them or correct them.

Take care to the loading order of plugins, if you’re using OBMM; Glaween .esp MUST be loaded AFTER CM Partners .esm, and CM Partners .esp files. If not, move it down to make that OBMM load it after the two main files (CM Partners .esm and CM Partners .esp files). If you don’t do this, during the auto-loot function Oblivion will CTD. In the load order must be no inactive voice between the two main files (CM Partners .esm and CM Partners .esp files) and Glaween .esp. If there is any, move it down to the end of the list.
