This mod was created in response to this thread in the SkyrimMods subreddit on Reddit:

The mod introduces four new spells made almost from the ground up. I used pre-existing actor templates and effects and modified them to create four new summonable undead thrall spells, from effect -> spell -> tome. The tomes are in the possession of four lore-friendly, flavorful NPCs.
Draugr Thrall -- Carried by the rogue Thalmor agent Elaarith, who may be found just inside Geirmund's Hall.
Spectral Hound - Modeled after the hounds in Labyrinthian. Carried by Manabi Othran, Dunmer witch, who can be found in the basement of Anise's Cabin.
Vampire Peon and Bound Mistman -- Carried by the Belumanie brothers, Edwistyr and Alabane, who may be found camped by the Lover's Stone in The Reach.
Each NPC carries a journal that provides some backstory on their appearance in Skyrim.
The spells are meant for an Adept-level Conjurer. All summons are standard permanent thralls. All undead.
Installation
No new meshes, scripts, textures, or other assets were created for this mod, so the installation should only be a quick manual download of the .esp.
This mod will conflict with any mod that adds to the Lover's Stone area, as I've set up a campfire for Edwistyr and Alabane. The other locations should be conflict-free, though if there are major changes (adding statics, changing the room layouts) then the NPCs may be lost in the shuffle.
Version Notes
Version 1.0 is, as far as I can tell, fully functional and complete! I may expand the Belumanie brothers' campsite in a future release, and I am, of course, open to suggestions and bug reports!
Thank you!
