Lotr Nazgul Race Beta Update2
New Features:
Craftable Morgul Blade in Whiterun at the Skyforge on the Steel craftable weapons. The Morgul Blade comes with an enchantment that does 300 points of damage and if the character dies it will soul trap the victim and turn it into a ghost figure in this case a Wraith that will be your slave for one day. The blade only has the power for one strike; so if the character is more powerfull you will need to recharge the Morgul Blade and hit i'm untill it dies in order to become a wraith. To fully recharge the Morgul Blade you will need a filled Grand Soul Gem or a Black Soul Gem or Azura's Star or it's black version.
Craftable Spell Tome that adds a Spell to Summon your Nazgul Horse at the Skyforge in Whiterun in the Misc section.
Changes since the last update:
Changed the Black Breath Spell into a power that you can use once a day that creates a poison cloak that damages your opponents 50 points for 60 seconds.
Changed the Detect life and the Detect death Spells into one; so now you can detect both the living and the dead at the same time.
Deleted the NightStalker's Footsteps Spell and the Champion of the Night because i think they didn't fitted well with the Nazgul lore of lotr.
IMPORTANT: For this update you must have the Dwanguard Dlc.
INSTALL: Just place the Data folder into your skyrim folder and overwritte the old files.

Description of the aspect of the Race:
Since i started this mod i've tried several things to make the race look more like the Nazgul from lotr. I've tried to make the race invisible; but when i put the gear on the Character it also makes it invisible so i couldn't give them the aspect of the nazgul with robes. I've tried also making them look like a Ghost; but also when i equipped the character, the gear would also have the ghostly effect. So i've come up with the idea of giving them the look of the Wraiths at Weathertop when frodo puts the ring and gets stabed by the morgul Blade. So i've made them look old and White skinned with long hair and demon eyes. I also gave the race the voice of the Draug to give it a more evil feeling.
Description of the Gear:
The gear i've put in the mod are the daedric boots and gauntlets because i think are the ones that look more like the ones that the nazgul add in the movies. The Robes are the same as the black hooded ones in the game but with the twist that it does not make the face of the character visible, making them look more like the ones from the Nazgul. I've tried to make a standalone version of the greybeards robes in black without messing with the vanilla ones, i changed the textures of the robe and the hood to black and manage to make the robe Black but the hood staid with the same color of the vanilla version and i tried a lot of stuff but it didn't work out; and so not to delay the mod too much i made with the normal black hooded robes of the vanilla skyrim.
The Ring i added to the gear represents the one that sauron gave each men making them the nazgul. I called it the Ring of Men and gave it a powerfull enchantment that combines the most powerfull fortify magicka and regenerate magicka from the game.
I didn't add the sword or the morgul blade because there are already mods that add craftable versions of nazgul weapons, and so that is one of the things you will have to do to make your Nazgul more authentic.
Description of the Powers:
Nazgul Ability:
This power adds the nazgul 100% resistance to Frost and poison.
I gave this power to the race because when i read about the nazgul there where several references about them being resistant to cold, and being a wraith they couldn't be poisened.
Resist Disease:
I gave the race also this power because of the nature of the nazgul of being a wraith they wouldn't have diseases.
Nazgul Night Eye:
This one is just to give the feeling of the vision of the nazgul and granting them a better vision in the dark.
Nazgul Magic Protection:
I gave this one because i read that the nazgul had resistance to magic but not all and some of the magic weapons in lotr affected the Nazgul.
Champion of the Night:
This one is to give more power to the nazgul when casting illusion spells.
Nazgul Fear:
This one is because the greatest power of the Nazgul was fear and it has the same power of the most powerfull fear spell in the game.
Nazgul Detect Life and Dead:
I added this power because the nazgul could sense living things and being undead they could sense each other and other undead.
Nazgul Black Breath:
This power is similar to the Drain Life spell from the Vampires but a little more powerfull. I added the black breath with the same effects beacause it sucks life from your opponents and adds the similar effect that it add in the lotr lore.
Nightstalker's Footsteps:
I gave this one because in some way the nazgul seemed to be always sneaking when looking for the Ring.
Weakness to fire:
Obviously this is the most disadvantage feature of your character and applies to the lotr lore.
Future plans for the mod:
Adding the other eight nazgul to the mod either as summonable or has a follower.
Adding summon spell for your horse.
Adding better robes and gear.
Adding the real nazgul Voice.
Adding severall sugestions from the comments.
Thanks for reading! If you like my idea go on ahead and test the mod and feel free to comment and give ideas to the mod.
Installation:
Just copy the NazgulRace.esp file to your Skyrim Data Folder and activate it in the data files menu or in the mod mannager launcher.
Nazgul Greybeards Update
This Mod Update adds BlackGreyBeards Robes that you can find in the Warden's Chest in Helgen where the Previous Nazgul Gear Was found. You can also craft them in a tanning rack; and there is an enchanted version that you can craft at the Skyforge in Whiterun.
I Changed the Fear spell and added craftable spelltomes of more powerfull versions for you to create has you get more powerfull in the game. I Changed this feature in order to make the game more challenging for you and give you the feeling that you get more powerfull has you progress.
I Added a craftable spelltome that gives you a spell to summon the other eight nazgul but just for 60 sec; in order to make you have a power but not a great advandage over the game.
I Changed the fire weakness to 50% and the frost resistance to 50%.
The Spells have the nazgul screech sound to give your powers a nazgul feel.
I completed the female version just to give it a more complete look.
Importante: The Black Greybeards replace the vanilla ones in the Game.
I Hope you enjoy the new update; and don't forget to comment and give feedback.
To install just place the files in you skyrim data folder and overwritte the old ones.
