Brief description:
A small collection of vanilla equipment tweaks for Awakening Elf NPCs.

----------------

Wordy elaboration:

Some logic-based gear changes for elven NPCs in DAA, mostly swapping dwarven Duster armour for Dalish items and moving equipped helmets to the character's inventory. (Elf ears will often protrude though helmets, especially when appearance mods are used to make the ears larger or rotated out more.)

I've also altered the gear of two featured NPCs.

Ambassador Cera's Tranquil robes have been replace with Senior Enchanter's robes. (While she does work with runes and can enchant items for the player, her demeanor and speech is unlike any known Tranquil encountered, thus I tend to believe she is not, in fact, Tranquil. YMMV and it's all good.)

And for aesthetics,  I've changed Seranni's medium Splintmail for Dalish light armour. (My screencaps use a retexture called Practical Dalish Female Armor, which seems to be unavailable now. Sorry.)

Finally, there's also an alternate UTC for Seranni which equips her with the Ancient Elven Armor set. (By request and has been untested by moi. Sorry again.)

----------------

Notes and nonsense:

Uses only vanilla assets, so there are no prerequisite mods. The UTCs can be installed (to override) a la carte, so any changes that are not desirable can simply be omitted.

As with any equipment edits, these files must be installed prior to entering the map containing the affected NPC, and, once that map has been entered, will continue to govern the NPCs appearance for that playthrough, even if the UTC is uninstalled.

Finally, only one UTC file for any NPC should be installed in the override folder.
