This is a cool mod, but a bid unimmersive due to the presence of the Ebony Warrior. Despite the fact that he clearly warships the Nordic pantheon, he is in fact a Yokudan, and since Sovngarde is only for Nords and Atmorans, it doesn't make sense that he would go there. He would instead go to the Yokudan afterlife, the Far Shores. Despite how much he wants to go to Sovngarde, he would not.
To quote a certain famous Dwarf Fortress AAR--sometimes the gods make exceptions.
This raises an interesting point, though; in the Elder Scrolls setting, is the afterlife you go to based on your belief, or your ethnicity? Would a Nord who was raised from birth in Hammerfell with no Nordic cultural exposure still go to Sovngarde when they die? Why would they go to an afterlife that they never believed in and may not even know about? And if so, what about mixed-race people?
Alternatively, perhaps he would, because there isn't actually any opposing evidence that people can't go to Sovngarde(or any other afterlife centered around a racial culture) if they aren't a nord, but follow the Nordic Pantheon and die an honourable nordic death. Also he says "Sovngarde at last" when he's dying, so perhaps he was called there. But I don't think this goes against the lore as there's no evidence that it doesn't.
That with the mother was only because Bethesda dont wantet mixed races like the Bretons (Half Elv half Nord/Atmoranean/Need) and Reachman. (Very Mixed even more than the Bretons)
Aetherial afterlives don't racially discriminate. In ESO a Breton King is promised a place in the Far Shores. And Shor is Lorkhan, God of all humans. Sure Redguards may not usually like Shor/Sep, but exceptions always exist. Comes with free will.
Nothing anywhere states Sovngarde is only for Nords/Atmorans.
As for immersiveness. He's wearing his Ebony Armor anyways.
Are Fjori and Holgeir in this Mod inkluded? Could you maybe put the generals from the stormcloaks in your mod aswell and make them killable and also Ralof to and Hadvar to? I were nive when you would the one Hero of Sovngarde who is Dragonborn could get a name alswell aand more Dialog to talk with the player and maybe with Miraak or Lady Miraak if you would make them to a part of your mod Then my last request ist that the children of skyrim should also go to sovngarde when they get killed by immersive children.
Unfortunately this mod turned Hulda's head black (the innkeep at the Bannered Mare in Whiterun).. I narrowed it down the old-fashioned way, and was very surprised to see that this mod was the culprit. I am running over 170 mods, including some which change the appearance of NPCs, such as NPCs of Dibella and The Ordinary Women, so YMMV. Looks like a really cool mod and I'm sad I can't use it. I didn't test extensively but ran into black Hulda shortly after installing, so there may be more NPCs who were affected (in my game at least!)... all the same, thanks for creating cool mods like this one.
Any chance we could get an update to make it so every dog that dies goes to Sovngarde. I was THOROUGHLY disappointed by the mod named "All Dogs Go to Sovngarde" because all it does is just compile a bunch of dog mods in a way that begs to crash.
This mod spawns a second Torolf with a grey face (xx03D45B). This appears to be associated with the "DeadTorolf" NPC (xx03D45A). This isn't a game breaking glitch and I've looked through xEdit and can't seem to find why this happens beyond the typical Skyrim glitchiness. There aren't any relevant references that place the object in the Tamriel world-space so I'm stumped.
I tested 3 new games in the opening sequence and it only happened 2 of the 3 games.

Heh, even after death they will get no break from covering the Dragonborn's anus.
