I am currently searching for a voice actress for Nar'Tul, preferably someone who can do a gruff female orc voice akin to the vanilla female orc voice. If you are interested, PM me and I will send you tester lines!



3/10/17 Update Notes:

• Just a very slight esp fix. Hence the 0.01 increase in the version number. Thanks to kattskinner for pointing the errors out.
• Also changed all up-to-date files to 1.21 just for the convenience of mod manager users (like myself).
• NEW ALL-IN-ONE FOMOD Installer created for your convenience.
  

3/5/17 Update Notes:

• Added the perk "Devastating Blow" to Nar'Tul. Now she can chop a Forsworn's head off. Heheheh.
• Gave Nar'Tul high resolution warpaint (check credits)
• Changed her race from OrcRace to her own zzzNarTul_OrcRace to allow for compatibility with other vanilla race changing mods like Imperious or Disparity
• Added tempering recipes to her boots and gauntlets, and fixed the tempering recipes for weapon and cuirass. All armor pieces and her weapon can be double-tempered with the Orcish Smithing perk. WARNING: Do not wear her cuirass unless you're a female and your weight is either 0 or 100. Pandemonium will occur.
• Somewhat fixed the item view mesh of her cuirass so you won't see that blue stuff that means textures were not applied
• Fixed her hair by adding necessary hairline nif and tri files that without them would have made her hair transparent (and no one reported this? tsk tsk)
• Created a new reference of her. Essentially, it's not the same Nar'Tul you're fighting with in your current game. Before updating, if she is currently your follower, dismiss her, wait a day, save your game, then turn off your game.
• Unequipped her clothes and added a script for her to reequip them once she meets you again. Now you don't need something like Extensible Follower Framework to remove them, but I still recommend it.
• Changed her hair color to a more purplish tint. Check out my new screenshots to see it (one of them is right below)
  

I have also added three optional files: Feminine Option, Lighter Cuirass Option, and Reduced Launch Force Option. Check 'em out if you're interested.





















I recommend either Nexus Mod Manager or Mod Organizer for easy installation. If you're doing manual, simply extract the files to the main Skyrim directory.



Just to be safe, dismiss her if she is still your follower, wait a day or so, and then turn off your game. NMM and MO un-installation is easy.
For manual:
If using BSA version, delete nartul.bsa and nartul.esp.
If using Loose version, locate the "Nar'Tul" folders in both meshes and textures and delete them. Locate the "nartul.esp" folders under the facegendata folders in both meshes and textures and delete them. In Scripts, delete the pex files with "zzzNarTul" in the beginning of their names (they should be last if in alphabetical order). Finally, delete nartul.esp. If you don't use Immersive Armors or Hothtrooper's Warchief Armor mod, delete the "warcheif" folder (yes it is spelled wrong) under the armor folder of the textures folder.







This mod adds Nar'Tul, an Orc follower that wields a tribal battleaxe. She has a unique form of the Orcish "Berserker Rage" ability. She begins at level 10 and levels equally with the player indefinitely.




Nar'Tul was born in the Orcish stronghold of Tazgulbur in the Wrothgarian mountains. As a child, she wished to become a great Orc warrior just like her father, the chieftain of their stronghold. Receiving a baby brother at the tender age of 10 served as another motivation for her dream. If she could protect others while fending against people that would do harm to her and her people, she would truly have been become an Orsimer worthy of the favor of the Orc-Father Malacath. Nar'Tul's dream, however, would stay simply that, a dream, never to become a reality. Only a few months after the birth of her brother, Witchmen descended upon the residents of Tazgulbur, destroying the stronghold and slaughtering Nar'Tul's fellow Orcs. Her father, although putting up a valiant defense against the savage Witchmen, was ultimately killed. Nar'Tul and her mother, who was carrying her brother, futilely took refuge in the longhouse. The Witchmen, taking note of Nar'Tul and her mother's inability to fight back, decided to burn down the longhouse in an attempt to kill them from within. Seeing all the destruction they had caused and all the Orcs they had killed, the Witchmen were satisfied and left Tazgulbur. Little did they know that Nar'Tul had miraculously survived under the burnt rubble of the longhouse. A dazed Nar'Tul looked around to see the current state of Tazgulbur. Her home destroyed. Her people slaughtered. Her brother hadn't even reached his first year. Her life had been destroyed, she thought. This was their fault. This was the malevolent Witchmen's doing. They should pay for this treachery. They will pay for it, she thought. At that moment, she vowed to kill those Witchmen that had destroyed her life. Taking up her father's battleaxe, she honed her skills for years until she knew she was sufficient enough to kill several Witchmen at once. With that vow she made and her hatred of Witchmen held closest to her heart throughout all those years, she began her Witchmen hunts, descending upon unwary Witchmen and slaughtering whole tribes. She would become known locally as the Wrothgarian Berserker, an Orc with a rage that could not be extinguished. Any Witchmen who heard that name felt fear struck into their hearts. Today, she has come to Skyrim, hearing word of the Forsworn, a violent group of Witchman descent. There's more killing to be done it seems, she thought. Time to chop up some more Witchmen.

• Primary Skills: Light Armor, Two-Handed, Block
• Perks: Sweep, Devastating Blow, Custom Fit, Champion's Stance, Disarming Bash, Power Bash, Barbarian, Shield Wall, Agile Defender, Limbsplitter, Great Critical Charge, Wind Walker, Block Runner, Nar'Tul's Warchief's Rage (my own perk for her)
• War Chief's Rage: Has a chance to activate every time she gets hit. Higher chance the lower her health is. Lasts 2 minutes per battle. Doubles her damage output and halves damage received; Sweeping Back Power Attack; 100% stagger resistance; power attacks have launching effect (given she's wielding either a battleaxe or a warhammer)
  

Her Berserker Rage might fire multiple times rather than just once (it can get pretty hectic). Other than that, it's not game-breaking as far as I know.

If there are any other issues that occur in your game, please tell me. I'll see if I can remedy it as soon as I can.

• Custom Voice
• Add ImmuneParalysis and ImmuneStrongUnrelentingForce as temporary keywords through a quest. Clear() does not seem to be working at all to remove keywords from an ReferenceAlias/ObjectReference, despite certain forum topics.
• Remove vertices from her armor to allow for alternate textures (that is once I find an easy import to/export from Blender tutorial).
  

Q: Where is she?
A: She is near Kolskeggr Mine, hanging around Pavo's House. It's somewhat nearby Markarth city. From leaving the city, keep going along the road then take the left road (don't cross the first bridge), and then keep going until you find the house and another bridge.

Q: What armor is she wearing?
A: Nar'Tul is essentially wearing my own armor mashup of different armor mods. You won't find it anywhere else. As she uses 7B by default, the armor is only 7B.

Q: Why isn't she launching enemies with the greatsword I gave her?
A: As the weapon type with the fastest swing speed of two-handed weapon types, I feel it's cheating. Give her a battleaxe or warhammer, then she'll be able to launch again.

Q: Can you make her face prettier/more human?
A: Sorry, but I will do no such thing. Unless the face is ugly even to Orc standards, she will be keeping that face. She is an Orc. I would like her to look like one. Although, if you want less wrinkles on her face, you can exchange her face normal map with one from SG Textures that has less wrinkles. Just a tip.

Q: Any other body type besides 7B?
A: Currently, no.

Q: What happened to your first mod, Leilyn of Wrothgar?
A: I'm somewhat glad she is remembered. Unfortunately, I hid her. Apparently I couldn't tell she had a very red skintone with ENB on. I'm highly considering re-releasing her, with more features to warrant that re-release. For now, you can see her current appearance in the screenshot at the bottom of this page.

Special thanks to iMACobra and Arron Dominion for testing her out!
