Version #: v1.1

Description:

This mod adds a fully standalone set of lore-friendly Heavy & Light Armor with 8 variants to the game (currently male only). It is craftable through the "Advanced Armor Smithing" perk, or for the lazier amongst you,
can be obtained from a chest near the bar in the Sleeping Giant Inn in Riverwood

Variants are as follows:

1. Einherjar Armor - Standard Edition, features a dark accent and various trophies
2. Einherjar Armor - True Nord Edition, features a lighter accent and a unique necklace with trinkets generously donated by the Thalmor
3. Einherjar Armor - Standard Edition, bones sold separately
4. Einherjar Armor - True Nord Edition, not a bone in sight
5. Einherjar Armor - Standard edition, light armor version
6. Einherjar Armor - True Nord edition, light armor version
7. Einherjar Armor - Standard edition, light & boneless version
8. Einherjar Armor - True Nord edition, light & boneless version

Installation:

Under mod tab of NMM, select add new file and activate.
Drop the "data" folder into your skyrim directory, merge if prompted. Activate the .esp via either the launcher or NMM.

Requirements:

For the hood textures to display correctly, you will need to download Northborn's Fur Hoods mod.

Also, this model utilizes vanilla textures; to obtain maximum visuals, use either the high resolution texture pack DLC or other replacers, such as HAR.

Compatibility:

Should be compatible with anything and everything!

Future plans:

Adding a female version
Retexturing of gold chain to match brooches
High resolution fur pieces
Additional differentiation between the 8 versions
More customizeability with individual pieces (A.K.A. the "Tailor Maid" approach)

Changelog:

v1.1: Due to high demand, light armor variations added.
v1.0: Beta, first release. Rejoice!
