About this mod

Lux and Noctis; katanas forged by the Divines and Daedra respectively are powerful swords independently, but together nothing can stop them.

Ebony blade recolors meant to be used together as a dual wielding set.

Requirements
Permissions and credits

     
Lux and Noctis feature two Ebony Blade recolored katanas. My original idea for this mod was to create a light and dark katana weapon theme, and since I suck at actually creating weapons from scratch, the ebony blade was the next best thing. They're both one handed weapons with different stats, the Lux Katana features high damage but average speed and low value and high weight, while the Noctis Katana features low damage and high speed with high value and low weight. I kept them the original size as the Ebony Blade because I am a firm believer that the longer a katana is, the better. Besides, it gives it an image of 'power' also, yeah? 

       I also tried to make them as lore-friendly as possible, with the Lux Katana being craft able under the Dragon perk, and the Noctis under the Daedric perk. Crafting requirements are as simple as can be, though rather difficult (or just time consuming) if you never cheat in the game.

Crafting the weapons is only possible through the Skyforge (but you can upgrade them anywhere), and you will have to sacrifice a Blades Sword each along with some of your precious gems. There's no gain without loss, right?


INSTALLATION

I think you've been through this before, just use NMM or whatever MM you use and you're set.
If you like to install things manually, then you should know how to do that too.
There is also an optional DSR patch you should pick up if you have DSR (also remember to run the DSR patch afterwards)

REQUIRED

Since I made use of the smithing perk added with Dawnguard, it is required, and always will be. 

FUTURE PLANS

Nothing. Well, besides adding left hand meshes for use with DSR. I don't know how to yet, but don't worry, I'm already learning.
Update: I've now added an optional DSR patch for you to use alongside DSR, tell me if there are any problems.

PERMISSIONS

Seeing as how this is merely a recolor of the ebony blade mesh, you're free to incorporate my swords into your own mods if proper credit is given.

MISC

As this is my first mod, and one I intended solely for myself, I would like to know if you guys have any cool ideas or feedback to build up on it, or if you just want to tell me that its horrible and stupid, then feel free to write your most hateful insightful thoughtful comment, don't worry, I want to hear everyone's opinion.

CREDITS

Bethesda, for the original Ebony Blade.
My love for Katanas, without it this mod would have taken a couple of minutes longer.
