If you plan to roleplay a Zealot of Meridia then this Mod is for you.

Once you defeat Malkoran during Meridia's quest, the Daedric Prince will grant you her upgradeable powers.

Forgotten Magic Redone offers wonderful, fitting spells in the Paladin section but they are named intended for a righteous devotee of the nine divines so using them as a Meridia follower can be a little distracting.

The Hammer of Justice was made to scourge the Undead but Meridia's weapon of choice is Dawnbreaker. So this mod allows you to summon an upgradable version of Dawnbreaker instead. Also several spells and effects have been renamed. No effects have been altered.

Meridia's Aura (was Stendarr's Aura): Also renamed the native Dawnguard Spell as it is a perfect complement to this theme.

I highly recommend the following mod if you plan to use Meridia's Aura a lot, as it tones down the visual effect so you can actually see on the Battlefield. Works great on SSE as well: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/71261
