About this mod

Standalone armour set and sword that originated as a request from Asura on Discord. There's an optional file to distribute the armour to the Umbra NPC too, for those who want it.

This armour comes in 18 pieces:

- mask
- cuirass (4 variants)
- hooded helmet (5 variants)
- lowered hood
- gloves (3 variants)
- boots (3 variants)
- bandolier

The mask works for every race except Argonians, I tried to get it working but even when functional, it looked ridiculous. Khajiit whiskers and any race's facial hair will clip with the mask; there is nothing I can do about this. If anyone knows a fix for either or both of these issues, feel free to upload your fix and just shoot me a message so I can link directly to it :)

The gauntlets and boots come in 3 variations, because they are simply retextured models of each Spell Knight outfit. Retexture is a strong word, all I did was crank the saturation to zero and lower the brightness. 

The sword is named Voidshard, it has no unique effect because I figured people would rather apply their own enchants themselves. Same reason the armour is blank. 

Stats and acquisition:

The full armour set uses Glass stats, has Survival Mode and Fearsome Fists Keywords, is Light Armor, and has the ArmorMaterialEbony Keyword. 

The sword uses Glass stats, and has the WeaponMaterialEbony Keyword. 

All items require the Ebony Smithing Perk and require pretty standard materials to craft. The only outlier is the sword also needing a Refined Moonstone Ingot on top of the Ebony Ingots - this is solely a flavour-thing so if people REEEEALLY dislike it then feel free to patch it out, I guess. 

There is also an optional file which adds the full set (Iron variant boots and Gauntlets, Mask, and Hooded Helmet) to the Umbra NPC from that CC, for those who want to give that dude a bit of uniqueness compared to vanilla. The other items can still only be obtained by crafting though, because it'd be a bit silly for him to have 3 pairs of boots and gauntlets in his inventory at once. 

This optional file does NOT replace the Umbra sword itself with Voidshard's model, so please don't panic about that. 



Installation:

Same as any other mod. Either through your preferred Mod Manager or manually extract into your Data folder. 



Credits:

This mod uses several assets from multiple other mods, without their work this mod either wouldn't exist, would be significantly lower quality, or would have taken me until Elder Scrolls 6 to finish. If I missed anyone, please let me know so I can amend the error.

The mod's original concept came from a user on Discord by the name of Asura. He asked me to make it, and for my first mod messing with meshes at all.. I'm pretty happy with it! I hope other people are as happy with this mod as he and I are.

Screenshots were taken by me and Asura. Mine are the lower quality ones because I suuuuuuck at getting aesthetically pleasing screenshots lol. All were taken on Xbox, which this mod is also available on (and there's even a Realistic Equipment version too!!!)
