RL’s Thedas Arsenal



A rich cache of weapons have been discovered by a Warden scouting party in the lost Thaig of Gundaar. The weapons; some unique and precious and some thought lost for all time, had been scavenged from the many battlefields across the land by emissaries of the Arch Demon.
Once assembled, the weapons were to be used as an armory of destruction against the Peoples of Thedas and in turn, would ensure the Darkspawn’s victory for their malevolent god.
With the diabolical plan now revealed, the Wardens' confiscated the massive arsenal and granted their distribution to the merchants of Ferelden.
These are the commandeered weapons, which now can be yours.





RL’s THEDAS ARSENAL is based on the resources from the mods: “Loincloth Fashions” by Entopie, “Back to Ferelden” by Sabrine, “Assasin Armor and Rapiers” by Petrovich and Lautasantenni, “Raptures Witcher” by InBleedingRapture, the many creations of Adonnay and the mods from “Dragon Age World.ru”.
My endless gratitude goes to these wonderful authors for allowing me to use their wonderful resources. An enormous Thank You goes to the generosity of Dynkan, the site administrator of Dragon Age World Russia, for allowing me to use the mods from his site and to include them in this mod. A list of the authors, who created these beautiful weapons, can be found at the bottom of this description page, on the “Permissions & Credit” section and on the “Resources and Scripts” sheet that is included with the download.


Please take the time to visit these authors’ sites and leave a comment of your support.


This mod contains 200+ weapons in a single .dazip.Some are new to the Nexus and others have been taken from the wonderful retextures from DA2 along with a few of my own. Quite a few have been resized to provide a larger assortment of longswords and daggers. The weapons can be added to your inventory by opening your console and using the "runscript" command. A list of the scripts is included in the download along with an image file.


My deep admiration goes to Setiweb for his invaluable contribution in the making of this mod. His knowledge and skills are entirely responsible for the resizing and shaping of the many weapons found in this mod.
These weapons will have “Resized by Setiweb” in the script list to indicate the revised weapon. Thank you Setiweb, for your ingenuity and for the time you gave in the creation of this mod.
