Description
===========
This mod incorporates all of Ghogiel's released mod resources as well as a few extras to round out the sets and makes them available for play in the game.

This project started off primarily for those people that want to play with what Ghogiel released but do not know how (or care) to use the Construction Set to add them into the game. As I started adding more and more to the mod, this became a much larger project. Here are the items that are in addition to Ghogiel's armor resources that are included in this mod:
- All weapons: Most were taken from other mods but were tweaked for this set.
- Knight Fine Armor set: This is steel armor with reflection FX applied to it with slight texture changes.
- Ice Shield: Glass shield tweaked to match the Ice armor.
- Dwemer Shield: Spell Breaker tweaked to match the Dwemer armor.
- Man-At-Arms Guard and Officer sets: Added padded textures and reflection FX.
- Telvanni Guard Shield
- Wings of the Queen of Bats

Location
========
The armor can be purchased from Maro Rufus at The Best Defense in the Imperial City Market District.
The weapons can be purchased from Rohssan at A Fighting Chance in the Imperial City Market District.
