I remember the day I received my calian with perfect clarity. This often surprises people—particularly Men. While they drift through a fog of half-remembered dreams, we Altmer remember everything. Every embrace, every slight, every triumph and defeat lurks at the edge of our sight, frozen in time—waiting to be recalled with unnerving accuracy. So now, when I say perfect clarity, you take my meaning.I was a wiry youth of eighteen.
The chapel smelled of incense and cherry-blossoms, and my entire clan—mother, father, grandseers, and rumes—shuffled in their pews, filled with nervous pride. The Ascendant Curate approached slowly. A stole of swan feathers and dragontongue cascaded over her shoulders, and upon her brow rested a grand welkyn wreath, bedecked in driftwood and precious stones. She stopped just a finger's length away from me and bade me to kneel. I did so, and she held my calian aloft.
I saw it glistening in the starlight above and suddenly realized I was crying. At that time, the sphere was pristine—fashioned from milky aetherquartz and sun-blown glass. I remember thinking, "How fragile a thing it is." Even then, I knew its great value. After reciting the Athel Vialen, she placed the sphere in my hands and smiled. I cradled it like a songbird just emerged from its egg.
In that moment, I swore an oath to protect it. But what does an eighteen year-old know of oaths? Youth often makes a meal of the sacred. Too often.

Mod Details
This is a collection of calians. I find the implications of them lore-wise to be fascinating, and it's a shame nobody's made a mod for them yet. This is my first serious (ie, non-texture) mod, so please be kind and let me know if any problems arise.
There are 181 different colors of calian, each with a specific name for the color it is. Some colors are very similar to one another—I figured it was better to have more colors than less. I've got pictures for each color up above in groups.
Permissions Details
I give full permission to use my mod in your own. Distributors to put them in each of the Thalmor's pockets, mods that rename or retexture them, adding them to followers or locations, HD models, whatever you want. The only thing I require is for you to credit me with a direct link in your mod description.
Thanks!
Don't see the color you're looking for? Drop the hex code of the color you want in the comments! If I get enough of them, I'll make an update.
