About this mod

"He left it dead, and with its head he went galumphing back."

Permissions and credits
This was a mod I made a while ago, when I first got Skyrim. I went ahead and refined it to share with you!

The mod adds the Vorpal Sword to High Gate Ruins, as well as a copy of the poem called ''Jabberwocky.''

The sword is equal in strength to a Daedric Greatsword, damages stamina, does 42 points of damage to dragons, and has a 12% chance of knocking opponents to the ground. When it knocks an opponent down, it goes snicker-snack, making a sound very similar to that of a soul being trapped. Of course, no souls are actually harmed.

--------------------------

Now, as you may have noticed, this sword has nothing to do with American McGee's Alice, or the vorpal swords from Dungeons & Dragons. The sword has NO special decapitation chance. Lewis Carroll never said it did. The sword was used to kill the Jabberwock, but the poem does not say that the Jabberwock died from decapitation, only that ''He left it dead, and with its head, he went galumphing back.''

This sword is based on the sword described in Jabberwocky and illustrated by John Tenniel. I used the Iron Greatsword as a base because it looks most like the sword in the illustration, and because the iron greatsword looks awesome. It's essentially a two-handed Dragonbane, to an extent.


In version 1.3 I added the Vorpal Blade, which can be crafted using two gold ingots, two quicksilver ingots and two blue mountain flowers if you have the Arcane Blacksmith perk and the Vorpal Sword in your inventory.
The Vorpal Blade is equal in strength to a Daedric Sword, and snicker-snacks half as often as the Vorpal Sword. It also does 24 points of damage to dragons as opposed to 42.

Aaand here's a video explaining where it is:



-------------------------

In the future, I may add a full line of vorpal weapons, all with varying chances of knockback and Dragon damage and other minor enchantments.
