About
The Saradomin Godsword is a weapon that first made it's appearance in Runescape. It was a popular weapon for leveling, being both efficient and powerful. It's initial design was to allow for 3 different melee styles; Slash, Stab and Crush.
I decided to create it for Skyrim because I felt the design could fit in well with the game and because I thought it would be fun to create a high quality two-handed sword that people might actually consider using. The Saradomin Godsword aims to be powerful and fun to use, making easy work of low level enemies whilst still holding it's own at later levels.
Both model and textures were created by me using 3ds Max 2011/2014 and Photoshop CS6.
What this mod includes:A unique two-handed sword with a healing special effect.
Location
You will find the Saradomin Godsword at a shrine near Sundered Towers. The sword is in the arms of a Statue, surrounded by Nightshade. Behind there is a secret chest with Monk Robes for additional effect :)

Questions:
Q. I've never played Runescape, what does the weapon do? A. The Saradomin Godsword originally had a special attack that would heal the player. This Skyrim version heals the player on a successful hit.
Q. Isn't that really overpowered? A. I've done extensive testing with different values and settled on the current. The weapon isn't overly strong, nor is it game-breaking in terms of healing.
Q. Do you plan on creating the Zamorak, Bandos and Armadyl Godswords? A. It is something I plan on doing, yes. However, I'd like to create an actual Godwars Dungeon in Skyrim and make the hilts obtainable that way, so that they aren't just handed over right away.
Notes:
The Saradomin Godsword cannot be upgraded or enchanted. It does however do hidden damage when absorbing health from an enemy.
