Firstly a HUGE THANK YOU to Arynn and enpremi for letting me use some of their assets. Without these this mod might never have happened. Please take the time to look at the credits section for the full list and details. It would be greatly appreciated. Also thank you everyone for your support and constructive criticism. Your input has helped me strive to improve and reach closer to my potential. So thank you and enjoy this and the many other of my mods to come.

_____Acquiring items_____
This mod has been designed to support both middle and high level characters. So if you are a fan of the armor you can enjoy it at any stage in the game without the stats being to over or under powered. To allow this range I have created 2 tiers of light armor quality.
__Tier 1___
This tier, for middle to low level characters requires the elven smithing perk to craft. The armor has slightly better stats than elven armor.
__Elder Armor__
__Noldor Armor__
__Rivendale Armor__
__Noldor guard armor__

___Tier 2___
This tier , for high level characters requires the glass smithing perk to craft. The stats are about the same as Ebony???????? but are light armor.
__Royal Elder Armor__
__Royal Noldor Armor__
__Royal Rivendale Armor__
__Elronds armor__

___Capes___
There are 2 capes available, both can be crafted with the elven smithing perk and work with all armors included in this mod.

__Leveled items___
If you are not a smithing type character it is possible to find items randomly as loot when you reach a high enough level. Since this mod adds quite a few items I decided to restrict the loot to one armor type, the bronze Elder and Royal Elder armors. This will mean the items will be rarer and all the items you find will match up colour wise. All the weapons can also be found as random loot.

____Weapons____
The weapons added in this mod also work in 2 tiers but they are not split into the 4 different colours as the work alongside any armor preference.
Since elves are so renowned for their archer I have given a slight buff to the bows and arrows. The bows have an increased draw speed so pulling off those combos are faster and more satisfying. TO me the vanilla arrows have always felt slow and sluggish so I have increased the speed of the Noldor arrows.
__Tier 1___
These weapons are slightly better than elven weapons and can be crafted with the elven smithing perk.
__Tier 2__
These weapons are slightly better than ebony weapons and can be crafted with the glass smithing perk.

___ All items can be improved apart from the capes.

___ All races and sexes are supported* with full weight slider support. *Since some facial elements extrude dramatically on some race options it is impossible to make a item that fits all perfectly and avoid clipping issues.

_____ Installation is very simple. Just make sure that the .esp file is inside the Data folder. The Meshes folder should be merged with the Data meshes folder and the texture folder should be merged with the Data texture folder.

__credits___
Please go give these contributors some Kudos and check out and endorse their amazing mods as without their help this mod might not have come to completion.
- Firstly a huge thank you to Arynn for allowing me to use his amazing chest/vest mesh as a base starting point for my armor. Without this asset it would have taken me a great amount of time to get the look I wanted and I may have even ditched the project all together.

- Secondly a big thank you to enpremi for letting me use his bow, arrows and greatsword meshes and some base textures.
Check out Enpremis Galadhrim Gear which goes very well with this.

- Lastly thank you to all those that have supported me, given me ideas and support etc.
Especially NWaldinger who has helped keep me on track and motivated. Thanks :)

__permissions___
- Translations are fine as long as it is credited correctly including the links of the authors I have credited.
- Compatibility patches for things such as SkyRe are completly fine and encouraged.
- For the moment I am not allowing use of assets in other mods without permission as I have a few ideas I want to try out first.
Feel free to contact me on my mod facebook if you do want to ask permission as if it doesn't clash with any plans it should be fine.
