About this mod

If you like the mod, please endorse the original one too.

Requires Frosty 1.0.6.2 or higher.
Works in the base game and Trespasser DLC.


The Grey Warden Runic Armor was one of my favorite when I played DAO.
Hence the headcanon: What if Leliana, Alistair, or the HoF gave the armor set to the Inquisition?

I converted all models to high-poly, except the kite shield and tower shield as they are the same as DAI vanilla models.
I AI-upscaled all textures to 2K, mixed some of them with similar DAI textures, and created new ones.
I also resized the longsword to make a dagger for Rogue, as the original mod doesn't have one.

+++

The runic armor replaces Prologue Outfit and the Shokra-taar for HM Inquisitor and Blackwall, Cole, Dorian.
The runic helm replaces the Helm of the Inquisitor (the iconic one with dragon wings) and Blackwall's two unique helmets.

To wear the runic armor at Skyhold or the Winter Palace, you need the optional files at Frosty King Alistair Outfit for all the Inquisitors for Qunari Human Dwarf and Elf.
I also recommend Svarty's Better DLC Armour Recipes when wearing the runic armor in Trespasser.

+++

The runic weapons and shields can be looted or purchased as unique items.
The tint is set to silverite for the common/rare item, and dragon bone for the unique item.

They can be crafted when using other mods to get the schematics early in game.
Some of them are powerful enough to finish Trespasser.

See screenshots for reference.
No NPC carries any of the weapons and shields I chose, if I remember it right.
