Changelogs
This mod adds three standalone custom voiced followers to Skyrim SE. Dana'Ka, Meegn'Ka, and Neiv'Ka; riekling companions. Added a riekling camp with five harvestable jarrin root plants, custom spells, and craftable/upgradeable Nordic Silver weapons with perk. Rieklings are Elder Scrolls version of goblins, they hail from the island of Solstheim. Spoken Skaal lore is that they where once Falmer that devolved into rieklings (different then the devolution you see in depths of Skyrim).

They will use what body and texture you have installed, but should keep their skin tone, and markings. Werewolf and (ATF) Vampire lord transformations work fine, vampire lord will be vanilla height and not to their riekling height. Turning them into a normal vampire will break them as it changes their race, if you do this, using ATF to turn them into a vampire lord will fix them. They are a custom race with a modified XP32 Maximum Skeleton Special Extended. Duo animations, and furniture animations using the default skeleton may look off, but duo should work between the sisters.

They use custom follower voices and are limited i functions due to this. I used a custom skeleton to avoid breaking their height and odd furniture scaling bugs. They will remain where you dismiss them. If they become lost there are staves in the loot chest named DEBUG, they will summon the named character.

The camp can be found SW of Riverwood, a map marker is visible but you must discover it to fast travel. When dismissed they will not return here unless Skyrim bugs, they will remain and sandbox at the dismissed location. Dana'Ka planted her jarrin root on the Riverwood side of the tent. It should respawn at a regular rate. This is the same as the quest item, and will make the same poisons. The chests do not respawn. You will find the perk book and spell book in the small "Lore" chest in the tent. Nordic Silver is meant for late game Daedra hunters.

Replace their armor from the chest in the camp, they are wearing just a weak disguise. This is to allow easy armor changes without a follower manager mod, while keeping them safe for work. If you do not have any version of Nisetanaka's TAWoBA, DO NOT USE THE ARMOR WITH MISSING ICONS (floating model preview in the menu). The weapons should be decent for low to medium level. There are three custom lore friendly sets based off of vanilla armor. Ka Riekling Spears are craftable with the Steel Blacksmith perk. Nordic Silver requires you to read the book in the lock box, or Meegn's inventory. The Jarrin root plants will respawn over time. Equipment should be good for the low to medium level range.

Racemenu presets included if the player wishes to be a evolved Riekling too. This mod was originally made for me to use in VR with my Nightingale. Works well in VR, so there may be things I missed on flatscreen Skyrim. If you break their faces while using the CK, there are files to restore them in the facegen folders.

When you update you may need to save and reload as voice files have been changed.

Character FAQ
Dana may have random stuff in her inventory. She's a stuff taker. Loot will be randomly generated, not taken from the PC or NPCs. Dana should stealth properly and dual weapons, depending on SSE playing nice.
Neiv should use magic, or her dagger, but she can stealth.
Meegn can't stealth. She's a tank and perfers a fight, but she may heal occasionally.

They don't care about crime other then attacking another sister. The stuff at their camp was already stolen, take it, it's for the one.

They are not real sisters, just clan mates that went into exile together. Skill Book, Spell Book, and stories can be found in the small chest in the tent, Lore is there if you need them to be lore friendly. They have been magically altered by a Dwemer artifact. The amulets are very powerful, I have not tested completely. Use them, sell them, or drop them in the river. Body proportions are 84%, the standard riekling from Dragonborn is about 82%. Their skeleton is set at that height so to reduce it just reduce their scale to .98, otherwise you'll reduce them 18% smaller. 

Plans
Maybe add a player home at a later date.
