First and foremost, thank you very much for downloading this. It means a lot, considering this is the first mod I've done without a downloaded resource as the base. If you like this mod, please endorse it on the Nexus.This mod adds a custom katana to the game. It is a one-handed katana, using the Ebony Blade (think Mephala) as the base mesh. The textures were recreated from scratch. I did not hold back on making the textures as high quality as I could. They are still 4K like the rest of my mods. The blade is craftable with some leather strips (2), ebony ingots (2), and a single gold ingot (1). The gold is used on the handle. It is also upgradable to "Legendary" quality. Both smithing and upgrading require the "Ebony Smithing" perk. Upgrading past "Flawless" requires you to have the "Arcane Blacksmith" perk. You can enchant it to your heart's content - but they look the best unenchanted. Ebony is a glass-like black mineral. It is extremely similar to obsidian, a real-world volcanic glass. I used this information when making the textures. If you'll notice, when using the sword(s), they are shiny and almost glass-like. This was done to make them seem like lore-friendly ebony weapons.
"Ebony, a rare volcanic glass, is one of the most precious substances in the Empire, mainly found in Vvardenfell, buried in the lava flows from Red Mountain. Veins can also be found in Solstheim, and occasionally on mainland Skyrim. Raw ebony itself is an extremely hard, durable, black glass-like substance. It is said to be the crystallized blood of a god or gods, Lorkhan in particular. It is protected by Imperial law, and may not be mined or exported without an Imperial charter."
Author's note:This was more of a learning experience for me. I'm taking my time learning to create, edit, and modify NetImmerse meshes. As always, I hold myself to the highest standards when working. I hope this is evident when you use my mods.
Bugs/to-do: There is no scabbard. I don't plan on adding one, unless I can figure that out, too.
