This is a part of my project to create lore-friendly altars, shrines, banners, and resources for all of the Aedra, Daedra, Saints, & other deities that are featured in the Elder Scrolls Lore. I research each deity thoroughly before I create their design, so each design should be as immersive as possible.
Requirements
This mod does not have any known dependencies other than the base game.
+You may only use my resources in a mod if you ask and obtain permission from me first (Note that there is a less than 1% likelihood that you will not be granted permission if you ask for it)! +If you receive permission from me, then you must abide by the following rules (This is to ensure that I can maintain the credited modder's standards of resource distribution, as well as my own).
1.)You may not upload a mod containing my assets onto another site besides the Nexus (Exception made for Di0nysys' Apotheosis). 2.)My assets will only be released here, on the Nexus. If you see my resource anywhere else, then they have been released without my permission and I would like to be notified immediately. 3.)You must provide a link to my page under the credits section of your page and give me full credit for my assets. 4.)You must report any and all bugs to me so that I may fix them. 5.)NONE OF MY ASSETS MAY BE USED IN ANY FORM OF PAID MODDING. [See article for my definition of 'paid modding' as well as a list of people who have received permission to use my assets @ http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/articles/214/?] 6.)If you feature my assets in your mod then you must have permission from me to do so. This means that you can not modify a mod containing my resources as a way of avoiding the request of permission from me. 7.)I have the right to use all pictures and videos containing my assets. 8.)You are not allowed to use any of my artifacts unless you make a quest for them. The quest must be unique and on par with vanilla daedric quests. I don't want daedric artifacts just given to the player. The player needs to earn it, and not all at once. 9.)If you value my assets enough to want to use them in your mod, then I expect you to show your appreciation. As a common courtesy, one should endorse this file AND all the Nexus mods listed in the credits section as well. I'd also appreciate you giving 'kudos' to the credited modders as well. I have a lot of respect for the modding community and I want all the people in the credits section to be recognized for their work and for me to be recognized for my work as well. When you ask me for permission, and once you upload your mod, I will visit each of the credited mods and locate your endorsement of their file. If you have not endorsed their files then do so before asking me for permission.
+Upon violation of any of the aforementioned rules, your rights to use my assets are forfeit.
+If you receive permission from me, then you are granted the following. 1.)You are free to redistribute my assets in unmodified form within your mod. 2.)You are free to request changes from me, for your mod. This means I MAY change a design to better fit your mod. 3.)If you provide a reasonable explanation, a rule MAY be changed for your modding situation. 4.)All users of my assets have the right to showcase my assets via YouTube, as long as I have rights to host the video(s) on my page(s). 5.)Approved users are granted Early Access to my assets via a link in Discord (You must simply ask for it via Discord).
File credits
These guys do some amazing work for the modding community and if you like the assets I make, I encourage you to please visit their pages, download their stuff, leave some endorsements if you like it, and leave some positive feedback; because without their hard work, my modders resource and many of the mods you know and love could not be possible. -Billyro for his altar mesh and texture resource -Boethiah Statue Resource for ivolga's Boethiah statue -Di0nysys, icecreamassassin, Jcbq for helping me with various modding things -CrazyBump for normal maps and specular maps (free download in link) -LadySiryna (Yaryna) for her marvelous art and allowing me to use them in my assets -Ljuton for her wonderful art and allowing me to use them in my assets -LorSakyamuni for the converted brazier mesh and texture from The Witcher series -manbullcultist for giving me the idea for the Forsworn-themed Hircine altar. -Modder's Resource Pack - The Witcher Extension by Oaristys for Discordant Fiddle model. -Open Books Resource by Blary for the open book models -All the original artist for the artwork I've featured in my assets.

So, technically, I'm not using the artists' original work, but a reproduction of a photograph of their work. To clarify, I'm in no way, shape, or form taking credit for the artists' work, but I am simply providing an avenue for people to view the artists' work via 3D model and Skyrim's game engine. Once again, special thanks to all the incredibly talented artist of whose art I have featured.

Changelogs
Version 7.0.1
-All textures were optimized using Ordinator and now have 'mipmaps.'
-All meshes were optimized using Nif Optimizer.
-To be clear, these programs 'fix' certain 'errors' that do not affect Skyrim gameplay or creation kit use in any way (at least not in this case). They simply remove things that register as 'errors' so that certain modding tools will not show as many 'errors' when running on the assets. In conclusion, this optimization of the meshes and textures has no effect whatsoever on gameplay or modding but was simply done in order to pacify some concerns by mod users over these 'errors' when analyzed by some modding tools.

Description This is a part of a project to create lore-friendly altars, shrines, banners, and resources for all of the Aedra, Daedra, Saints, & other deities that are featured in the Elder Scrolls Lore. I've read every text on C0da, Lord of Souls, Religion, Myths, Legends, Metaphysics, Obscure Texts, Research, The Infernal City, & The Temple Zero Society so each design should be as immersive as possible. For clarification, this is a 'resource only' modder's resource. This means this is compatible with everything and will have to be added to The Game via Creation Kit.
