What is it?
Wolf of the Azar's vaalsark race mod (http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/13561/?) added a canine race which was cool as heck but didn't fit into the game's lore at all. This mod is a series of tweaks for his mod that converts it into a Lilmothiit race instead, this makes it fit well into the vanilla game by tying it into the lore. 
The vaalsark tail is also replaced with a nice, fluffy, wolfy-looking tail instead of that weird spade-shaped thing.

To really integrate the race into the vanilla lore, I wanted to change a vanilla NPC follower to the new race. Eola can optionally be a Lilmothiit (her personality suits the race well, being a sneaky, somewhat evil character who eats people and avoids society.)
Two new companions of the new race are also added to the game, they can be found after completing the Taste of Death quest, given by the Markarth Inkeeper.

Lore

The Lilmothiit were a canine/lupine/vulpine race once inhabitants of Black Marsh, where in the Second Era all but the Argonians were wiped out by a plague. But isn't it possible that instead of being totally extinct, a few could have survived by leaving Black Marsh? Possibly establishing a presence in Skyrim?

Lilmothiit suffer a weakness to disease and poison (the reason they *nearly* went extinct), but they can summon a permanent familiar, can detect life due to their superior sense of smell, and as natural hunters, deal extra damage to animals.
They have bonuses to sneak, destruction, alteration, enchanting, archery and one-handed

Install

Wolf of the Azar's Vaalsark mod MUST be installed first, this mod must be installed AFTER it so it can overwrite the files.

1. Install Wolf of the Azar's Vaalsark mod: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/13561/?
(If you don't, you will get missing meshes, textures, etc.)

2. Then just put the files contained in the MainFile.zip downloaded here and put it into your Skyrim data folder
(C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\Skyrim\data by default)

3. If you want the optional file that makes Eola a Lilmothiit, be sure to put it at the VERY END OF YOUR LOAD ORDER!

4. That aught to be it. If you find any problems, report 'em!



CREDITS and disclaimer:

None of this would be possible at all without Wolf of the Azar and his badassery for having created the original mod.
I'm not trying to claim ownership to anything except my own tweaks to his stuff.
