(Special thanks to Author: InsanitySorrow and Converter: sa547 for all of their work. This mod is only possible because of them.)

Sorajak: Thank you for all of the downloads and endorsements. This has been my first project of this size, and it has been a joy to bring it to so many of you.

FURY OF THE BLADES: Custom version that includes composite hilt textures and a re-purposed version of the Wuuthrad effect from base Skyrim. When the Dragonborn carries a copy of "The Rise and Fall of the Blades" all Sorrow Katanas will deal 20% bonus damage to Dragons, High Elves, and Falmer. If the effect is too powerful for you, simply don't carry the book. Also includes guardless Tanto mesh. 

Main File: The original Dai-Katana (Two-Handed) was created using the One-Handed mesh and data. I have now updated the mesh and data to more accurately represent an intimidating Two-Handed weapon. Examples: Increased overall weapon scale by 20%. Original Reach, Speed, Stagger, and Crit Damage were identical to One-Handed weapons. Increased Reach from 1 to 1.2 (.1 shorter than Skyrim Greatswords) Speed reduced from 1 to .9 (same as Skyrim Greatswords). Stagger and Crit Damage now updated to Skyrim Greatswords. Realized Tantos were made with stagger and sound detection (not standard for daggers), so I removed both. They are now silent, cause no stagger, and speed was reduced from 1.4 to 1.3 (standard speed for daggers).

Additionally: Original damage value for Katanas was 15 (equal to dragonbone), while Dai-Katanas and Tantos were 18 and 6 respectively (equal to orcish). I brought all damage values (including crit) up to match dragonbone values.

Description:
=================

Adds a new Katana into the game, a Celtic Katana. The model and textures are all new, no retexturing here.

The Katana's come in 4 colours, Blue grip, Brown grip, Red Grip and Black grip. The leather wrap on the scabbard also has it's colour changed to match.
You can aquire the Katana's by crating them, they're setup as steel weapons, though they need more of each material, they're also a little strong than
the Blade's katana. Each one can be upgraded too.

Dai-Katana and Tanto versions of the Celtic katana are now available.
