About this mod

Originally created under the name Tamriellic Craftworks: Dwarven Splendor, The Elder Scrolls V Rewritten: Dwarven: Legendary Edition reinterprets Bethesda's unique Dwemer weapons (Keening and Volendrung) as well as the Dwarven dagger.

Permissions and credits


Not long after Skyrim was released, I started playing with the Dwarven textures that Bethesda shipped with the game; I was dissatisfied with the direction that they had taken the Dwemer and wanted to give them a new aesthetic; something closer to what existed in Morrowind, reinterpreted for more modern computers. In 2014, I announced to the world my "Dwarven Splendor" project, which eventually became "Tamriellic Craftworks"; a material-based reinterpretation of the armour and weapons for all races and factions in Skyrim. The project was highly ambitious, and over time, fizzled out. 

The Elder Scrolls V Rewritten: Dwarven is a collection of Dwemer assets that I made for the Tamriellic Craftworks project. This version of the mod contains replacements for the Keening and Volendrung, as well as a dagger replacement for the Mzark-style (vanilla Skyrim Dwarven) dagger. The upcoming mod for Skyrim SE will contain the same replacements, additional variations of the dagger, as well as additional Dumac-style (Morrowind Dwarven) weapons (longsword, shortsword and dagger). The Special Edition version of the mod has not yet been released. 

All of these assets represent my personal vision for the Dwemer, with a look that combines aspects of their appearance from the last four major Elder Scrolls games (Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim and Online), featuring a hardened patina, almost akin to rust that makes all things Dwemer look weathered over time, without compromising their performance.

As always, I am terrible at producing screenshots for Skyrim, so please upload screenshots from your game; I look forward to seeing these artifacts in the hands of other players.
