Just thought I'd give a quick update on where the mod's at for anyone interested.
I've not done nearly as much modding over the summer as I'd originally planned. I've built one dungeon and am in the process of filling it and nav meshing it. Once that's done, I'll try to get the first quest finished and release that. Hopefully that won't take me too much time and, if it all works fine for me, it should be uploaded sometime either this month or early next. 

I've not done much modding for a while, just the odd 5 minutes here and there, and I'm back at college now so I doubt I'll even work on this for a while, let alone release the next version. My apologies if anyone's been wanting the update. I'll try to get some more work done on this mod between assignments but no promises. I'll release the next version as soon as I've got the dungeon filled, nav meshed and working and have the quest finished. I am getting there though, promise. 

I've always felt the Blades were unfinished. All you could do with them before was make 3 followers join them and then go and kill some dragons. We could do that without making our followers join the Blades. 
This mod aims to expand upon the Blades by adding new weapons, armours, quests and characters to the faction. 

This mod currently only adds crafting and tempering recipes to the existing Blades equipment and a merchant to Sky Haven Temple.

Requirements:
Hearthfire
Dragonborn

Compatibility:
Should be no compatibility issues at the moment. Please let me know if you find any though.

To Do:
Implement extra weapons/armour
Finish first quest
Make more quests
Make Sky Haven Temple Guards
Possibly a few extra things once these are all done

Bugs:
I have tried to disable all incomplete parts of this mod for this release but I may have missed some

Permissions:
Feel free to translate this file to your heart's desire, not that there's anything to translate yet. Just send me the link and I'll link it on this page.
Ask my permission before using this file in any way other than translation - I'm a nice guy so it's unlikely that I'll say no. I just like to know if someone's using my stuff.
DO NOT reupload anywhere. No ifs. No buts. Just don't do it. If I want my mods elsewhere, I'll put them there myself.
