Qaws Race Pack
By: Qawsed Asap

What this mod provides is a series of beast races. Reason behind this mod creation is because I held this project off for over two years and its just sat in my hard drive. With that said:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Installation:

-Before install this mod, its a good idea to install the UOP, an alternate start mod, or a mod that would let you use a race mod.

-Just place the Meshes, Texture, and the esp file into the Data Folder.

-In the extra folder, there are Body Replacer folder, Npc Patch folder, and Screenie folder. If one is using a body replacer mod, go to the Body Replacer folder and pick the folder, open it and drop the Texture folder into the Data Folder. For best result, go to the Oblivion.ini found in My Documents\My Games\Oblivion. Open up the Oblivion.ini and switch the bFaceGenTexturing from 1 to a 0, just like this:

bFaceGenTexturing=0

-If you don't like it, just turn the bFaceGenTexturing on. Oh, and its censored/no extra texture glorifying the body.

-Now then, if you do not like being the only [Insert Beast Race in this mod] in Cyrodiil, go to the Npc Patch folder. There is a patch for the following:
Crowded Roads Revisited (http://oblivion.nexusmods.com/mods/20575)
Crowded Roads Advanced (http://oblivion.nexusmods.com/mods/18251)
Any of the Crowded Cities mod the with the Crowded Cities 15.esp and Crowded Cities 30.esp
CM Partners (http://oblivion.nexusmods.com/mods/7819)

-It is important that if you use any other of the extra patch or esp that you place them AFTER the Qaws Race Pack Beta.esp in the load order. Like this for example:

-Qaws Race Pack Beta
-Some mod
-Some Other Mod
-Qaws Road Patch Revisited
-CM Qaws Beast Race Companion
-Some mod that you forgot it exist

Most were condition to become their guards by exposing fire and cold magic to become resist to both elements while given a large dose of magic energy to make them use magic themselves.

It was not until when Ysgramor and his Five Hundreds Companions drove out the Mer when the Dalmura made their escape or revolt from their master and living low in the undergrounds or high as ridged as the mountain sides. They remain to themselves right until somewhere in the early part of the Third Era where the Dalmura start to contact with the surrounding neighbor by trade and merchants. It is through this where some of the younger generations start to travel all over Tamriel

At the present, the Dalmura can be found living throughout Tamriel. Due to their past, many became guards for merchants as their trade, though it is not common that some also join the Mages Guild to practice their magical side.

Though the Doberagas became "domesticated" as the decades past, they were now with war with the Orsimer for land in Hammerfell.

Near the end of the First Era, the Redguard force the Orsimer, the Doberaga, and all other beasts and men to the mountains to make way to establish their nation. The Doberagas has long since revenge on the Redguard for losing their land. They got their revenge when the Empire allows the Doberaga to be part of their league in trade for information and shock troops in order to take Hammerfell and beat the Redguards into their Empire during the Second Era.

In current time, the Doberaga can be found living throughout Tamriel, though they still harbor a bit of bitterness from the Orsimer, namely that the Orsimer's rival race became recognized as a civil race with ease long before the Orsimer has a chance to even try to be recognize their right.

The Labidori has been rumor to be said that during the Merethic Era, a deity blessed these race with light, mercy and compassion. It�s been debated where the said deity was Mara, Stendarr, or even Meridia. Many took one or all three of these as their deity of choice, though those who look Meridia as their deity did so in secret or as what many women did, joined the Witches Covens that was found throughout Northern Hammerfell and High Rock. Nonetheless, many Labidoris took their blessing and share in a form of healing. There are some accounts that they service as healers during both the Skyrim invasion and the Siege of Orsinium for mostly the Bretons during the earlier eras. However, they remain neutral during the event of the War of Betony where four kingdoms-states fought each other for control of the bay until The Warp in the West occurs. This event causes many Labidori to scatter away from the confusion in search of a much stable life out in Tamriel.

In the present, many Labidori can be found living throughout Tamriel, though mostly still reside the border of Hammerfell and High Rock. Like the past, many Labidori became healers by magic or alchemy to help those who are in pain or in need of healing.

They didn't like their position and the Lazula either revolt or escape. Those that revolted were dead but it bought time for the rest that ran and hide through out Tamriel.

Because of their attunement with magic, its very common for a Lazula to become a mage over anything else.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With that out of the way, lets discuss what other things this mod has to offer:

-The race comes with beast leg already place when the player create the PC. If one does not like the beast feet for some reason (like wanting to wear boots), then use the "Remove Feet" spell provided to you. If you want to use the beast foot again, use the spell "Beast Mode".

-I made this mod with the latest patch and the crowded mods. I do not know if there is any other mods that would conflict with this mod.

-As for body replacer, it comes in Vanilla, HGEC/Exnem, Robert Male, Robert Female, and Fantasy Figure. Vanilla is just a place holder and I would recommend replacing it with a body mod asap.
