About this mod
Replaces the Jorrvaskr rugs in Kurmai's "workshop" and Sun Temple with new rug models and textures.
- Permissions and credits
Slight location spoilers ahead.
Throughout the game's story you'll end up visiting Kurmai's home/workshop, and it felt really confusing to see the Jorrvaskr rug as the centerpiece fo the room. This raised several questions: Was Kurmai a Companion? Does he frequent the mead halls in Skyrim to revel and cheer, and crush his enemies to see them driven before him?
This mod replaces that immersion breaking rug with something a little more antiquated and fitting for his personality. The bird motif fits his drive to see his beloved Starcity in the sky and with his bird egg research.
I also found a few more instances of the Jorrvaskr rug being used in the Sun Temple, and replaced those with a few other rug designs to keep this mod consistent.
I have included two options in the mod:
Option A uses a bird rug design from the Rugs of Antiquity. Unfortunately, the base textures are compressed and only in 1K, and cleaning + upscaling the image only does so much.
Option B uses an AI generated image from Bing's Copilot Designer. Since the image is generated - it has a much crisper look. Whether the rug is realistic - that's for you to decide.
The wreath and golden crest designs will be the same with whichever option you pick.
Just delete whichever .esp you are not using from the main file.
Update: Somehow I didn't notice the main blue bird in the option B rug had two pairs of wings and one of the bird talons had extra appendages - I corrected this lazily in Paint.NET so I have included it as an optional file. Just overwrite the main mod with this if you do install it. Check the images if you want to see a comparison.

Option B's rug design from Bing's Copilot Designer - Prompts used were "bird and tree tapestry design 15th century full"
