Battle for the right to breathe and exist.

A mysterious plague is spreading in Skyrim, seeking to consume all that breathe. If it is not stopped in time, all of Tamriel will die. Livia Salvian, the proud and righteous Imperial noble knight, is determined to vanquish the evil that started the plague, not only to save the people of Skyrim, but also to redeem her house's honor.

Start by visiting Livia Salvian in the palace of Whiterun. A quest will point you to her.

About the plague

The plague spreads like a real epidemic as infected NPCs may spread the plague to the people near them. It begins as soon as you talk to Livia. It doesn't show in the beginning, besides the occasional undead attacks. But as time passes, more people will get infected, cough, bleed and die, to the point where Skyrim is beyond saving.

This feature can be toggled off using the gameplay setting spell under Alteration. In which case, the plague will never kill non-unique NPCs but only weaken them. While they may still be prone to undead attacks - it's a visible enemy you can kill.


Things to note before starting

1. Rorikstead will be destroyed during the course of the story, so finish Rorikstead's content before you talk to Livia.
Even if Rorikstead is destroyed, you may still finish "A Night to Remember" without issue.
Once you complete the story, Rorikstead will be rebuilt.

2. At one point in the story, Riverwood may be attacked. Your player choices may result in Riverwood's survival or massacre.

3. Some sections in the story feature hordes of enemies. You are advised to get followers or abilities that can do AoE (damaging multiple enemies at once).
Performance impact shouldn't be significant on a modern machine.


Q&A:

Q1: Is it safe to install mid-game?
A1: Yes.

Q2: Is it possible for the player to get the plague? Can the plague be cured by shrines or healers?
A2: The player is immune to the plague by default. But you can turn on the Hardcore mode using Death Consumes All Gameplay Setting under alteration spell. Shrines and healers do not cure the plague.

Q3: How to make Livia compatible with follower management mods?
A3: Dismiss Livia, then ask Livia to be more brief. (Toggle vanilla follower dialogue)
Then recruit her again.

Q4: I'm stuck in a quest.
A4: Please use the debug option in the gameplay setting spell.

Q5: Do face masks help prevent the plague?
A5: The face masks that come with the mod reduce the chances of getting the plague, but it is not absolute.

Q6: Help, the undead are floating in the sky.
A6: Download Actor Limit Fix. You can find the link in the Requirements section at the top.

Q7: How to use the Arch-Acolyte's soul gem?
A7: By clicking it in the inventory.
