ABOUT THIS MOD:
=====================================================================================

This mod seeks to rebalance The Ten Rings of the Architects for a more cohesive
playthrough. I believe they are still probably going to overshadow most accessories
in the original game, but hopefully now it will be less extreme and more situational.

I changed the names of almost all of the rings, but the locations are untouched except
for a swap of 2 of the rings that are attached to NPCs, who were also for some reason
turned into Argonians and lost their original scripts so I fixed them too. Can't say
for certain I'm not the one who did it without going to check, and I don't really care
enough to do that :) Point is, it's fixed.

I also changed the scroll "Notes on the Architects" to reflect the new names of the
rings mentioned within, as well as clean up some of the text inside to my preference.

You will need to grab the original mod by VvardenfellStormSage as it includes all of
the assets required for this .esp replacer, here:
