Wanted to exploit the Skeleton Key's potential for real and not just have it be a limitless lockpick? Hated selling your soul to Nocturnal just to progress the questline?

This mod adds 4 new voice-acted endings to the Thieves Guild questline, including new story, new rewards, new boss fights.
The roleplaying freedom you have been asking for since the first time you finished that questline.


The 4 new endings:

1. Defy Nocturnal - free all Nightingales including yourself, Karliah, Brynjolf and Gallus from the Dark Mistress
2. Betray Nocturnal - take the Skeleton Key for yourself and exploit its unlimited potential
3. Exorcise the Key - work with the Vigilants of Stendarr to purge Nocturnal's influence from Nirn forever
4. Refuse to be a Nightingale - the vanilla ending without becoming a Nightingale

Comes with full NPC recognition of the new endings, including new epilogues with Karliah and Brynjolf.


The prize:

1. Gratitude of the Nightingales - the freed Nightingales give you their shadows, boosting your stealth and thieving skills
2. Unlimited Potential - all skills level 25% faster
3. Bane of the Nightwalkers - automatically break invisibility of all foes within 10 yards
4. Nocturnal's Trinket - a ring that boosts your stealth and thieving skills




Q&A:

Q1: How do I save Karliah?
A1: Tell her you want to free the Nightingales AND actually free the Nightingales.

Q2: I don't like the addition of ESO lore about Nocturnal
A2: Not a question.

Q3: Is this lore-friendly?
A3: As lore-friendly as possible

Q4: Is this compatible with...
A4: Any mod that modifies the last three quests of the Thieves Guild questline will need patches. Other mods are fine.

Q5: Install mid-game?
A5: Install at any point before Karliah asks you to become a Nightingale. Or at the latest, before you kill Mercer.

Q6: ESL?
A6: Yes.

Q7: Why is the Slave of Shadow essential?
A7: She is protected by her other parts (and Karliah if she sides with Nocturnal). Kill all other enemies to make the Slave of Shadow vulnerable.
