This mod rebalances the gear from Redguard Elite Armaments CC with powerful enchantments and reintegrates it into the vanilla quest In My Time of Need. An optional file is included to set an appropriate level requirement for the quest to start and split the rewards based on your choice.  

Enchantments are from Thaumaturgy, making it a requirement.

Rebalance 
Elite Sellsword (formerly Redguard Elite Agent):  

• Elite Sellsword's Hood: You deal 25% more damage with power attacks.
• Elite Sellsword's Armor: Your Stamina is increased by 50.
• Elite Sellsword's Gloves: You deal 25% extra damage with One-handed weapons.
• Elite Sellsword's Boots: Your Movement Speed is increased by 10%.
  

Scaled tier light armor set.

Boneshaver: Deals 5 Bleeding damage per second for 10 seconds.

Elven tier sword.

Sellsword (formerly Redguard Elite):  

• Scaled tier light armor set.  
• Elven tier sword.  
• Elven tier light shield.
  

Can be crafted with perks appropriate for the tier.

Reintegration
The original quest Interception is disabled. The Elite Sellsword set can be found during the vanilla quest In My Time of Need, worn by Kematu, who also wields Boneshaver and a Sellsword's Sword. Other Alik'r mercenaries will continue wearing regular Hammerfell Garb and Scimitars, making the Sellsword set and shield obtainable only through crafting, after the quest is finished.

If you use the Quest Requirements addon, the quest will only begin after you reach level 15 (and complete Dragon Rising, as in vanilla). Additionally, Kematu will not wield Boneshaver. Instead, the weapon can only be obtained if you choose to help the Alik'r mercenaries immediately, without visiting Swindler's Den and speaking with Kematu there. Then, if both Saadia and Kematu remain alive after the quest is completed, you will receive an anonymous letter a few days later, expressing gratitude and respect for your swift action.

F.A.Q
1. Safe to install and uninstall mid-game?
No.

2. Why the quest doesn't start when I use the addon?
If you are level 15 and completed Dragon Rising, and Alik'r still don't appear at the gate, try entering the Bannered Mare and leaving. Idk why it works like that.

3. Why don't regular Alik'r mercenaries use the Sellsword (Redguard Elite) gear?
To emphasize its uniqueness. It's gorgeous—I like to think that a regular mercenary wouldn't be able to afford it. If you really want them to have it, you can use Oreo's Redguard Elite Armaments Reintegration, just make sure to load my files last.

4. Why would I use your reintegration instead of others?
Preference. I rebalanced and reintegrated the gear with both of the goals in mind. My Elite Sellsword is a mid-game set, and Boneshaver is a mid-game weapon, they needed an appropriate level requirement. Plus, I think that choice based rewards are cool.

5. Kinda weird that the shield can be only crafted, right?
Right. I'm thinking about making a unique version of it and distributing it somewhere else, to a thematically appropriate dungeon or NPC. If you have ideas, let me know.
