Update! 9/5/14

Thanks to Diethardt and SkyrimKnight2013 I am very pleased to be able to offer a selection of war paints for download for Reyda. For more information please read my sticky post.



“This book is written in blood. Its words are the scars, the deep cuts that I have endured and have dealt out to the ones who began this. Its pages are the flesh I have torn. Its spine the bones that I have shattered and crushed. Each time I open this book it will be to report another has died. It is my journal of murder, my record, and it still has many pages as yet unwritten.”

Reyda is my second follower (after Morgen ) and again an attempt by me to create a realistic and believable follower who fits into the world of Skyrim. Reyda is beautiful but strong, grown tough quickly to survive the terrible events which have propelled her on her bloody quest for revenge. Reyda has recorded her search for ‘The Traveler’ in her journal, her Book Of Blood, which you will find in her inventory.

“I have steel enough for every one of you. Cling to the light, for when you close your eyes tonight it will be the last time.”

When you first meet Reyda please take some time to sit with her and read her journals. I hope you find her story to be engaging and exciting. It is the result of several months of development and writing. It is a detailed and, at times, brutal origin story. I recommend setting aside an hour to be able to read the full story in one sitting.

“They came to our village at night. Wrapped tight in the thick cover of darkness. No one knew they were there until it was too late.”

Reyda wields her Father’s Blade, a Skyforge Steel Greatsword, and she will level with you (from level 10 through to 50).

While she’s not one for stealth she does have the Light Foot perk so will not set off traps as the two of you adventure.

Reyda has a custom class and skills which reflect her journey. Her perks include Barbarian, Juggernaut and Deep Wounds.

I highly recommend using her with UFO (Ultimate Follower Overhaul by fLokii) in order to get the most out of Reyda.

Reyda's long and bloody journey has led her to Bleak Falls Barrow. You'll find her in the Inner Sanctum cutting her way through the dead that walk there.

I very much hope you enjoy having Reyda join you on your adventures. I welcome feedback and screenshots. If you enjoy adventuring with her please endorse her so that others can find her too. I have other followers that I am working on, each with individual back stories so I’d love to hear what you make of Reyda.

At present Reyda is not custom voiced. This is because I still have not found the perfect voice for her and as a feature director I would not release her with a substandard voice over. If you, or someone you know, is interested in auditioning for Reyda please feel free to get in touch with an audition.
