Version: 2.0

Category: Weapons
Requirements: Oblivion Patch 1.2.0.214
Author(s): VictoriaG

Description
===========
Adaptation of Rinzei's Sword of Unknown Origin; all unenchanted one-handed blades.


Details
=======
2 ways to get items:
Buy or steal them from Morvayn's Peacemakers in Anvil.
Find the items in a chest labeled "Lightning Swords" in the Testinghall. [To get to Testinghall: open console, type "coc testinghall" without the quotes. To exit, go thru the door to Hawkhaven - you can fast travel from there.]

Install
=======
1. Extract the files to a temporary location.
2. Examine the folder structure and make corrections where necessary.
3. Copy files to (install folder)\Oblivion\Data\
4. Start Oblivion Launcher, click 'Data Files', place a checkmark beside the .esp file(s).

Uninstall
=========
1. Start Oblivion Launcher, click Data Files, uncheck the .esp file(s).
2. Delete the files/folders associated with the mod. (NOTE: If you have other of Floydian1 [or the UFFGypsyMarket] mods they may use these same folders/textures, so best to just delete the .esp in that case, or re-examine your zips & delete the files only this mod uses.)
