Description:

This Mod adds runed versions of the Nordic Weapons. The visual difference compared to common Nordic Weapons is the added glowmap on the new weapons.
The new textures have dragon runes added:

  • Dagger - KRII LUN AUS - Kill Leech Suffer - Marked for Death
  • Sword - HUN KAAL ZOOR - Hero Champion Legend - Call of Valor
  • Great Sword - SU GRAH DUN - Air Battle Grace - Elemental Fury
  • War Axe - MID VUR SHAAN - Loyal Valor Inspire - Battle Furry
  • Great Axe - FAAS RU MARR - Fear Run Terror - Dismay
  • Mace - GAAN LAH HAAS - Stamina Magicka Health - Drain Vitality
  • Warhammer - FUS RO DAH - Force Balance Push - Unrelenting Force
  • Bow - WULD NA KEST - Whirlwind Fury Tempest - Whirlwind Sprint
  • Shield - IISS SLEN NUS - Ice Flesh Statue - Ice Form

The added dragon runes are a visual improvement only and do not have any other meanings.

The meshes are optimized with Nif-Optimizer. I have tried to upscale the original textures from 1K to 2K via GIMP 2. The result is difficult to see. Because of this the main version is in 1K still. Try out the new 2K version if you want. I am open for suggestions doing it better.

In addition I have improved the stats of the weapons slightly. In comparision to the common Nordic Weapons the Runed Noordic Weapons have the following improvements:

  • damage + 2
  • critical damage +2
  • weight -1
  • value +50

The weapons are standalone. This means no other items will be overwritten.

The weapons can be crafted, tempered and enchanted. For crafting you will need the smithing perk Advanced Armors.

If you want to add the new items via console here are the item id's:

  • Dagger - XX009464
  • Sword - XX009470
  • Great Sword - XX009468
  • War Axe - XX009474
  • Great Axe - XX006597
  • Mace - XX00946C
  • Warhammer - XX009478
  • Bow - XX0036CA
  • Shield - XX00F20D

The mod is cleaned and checked for errors in TES5Edit.
