"Heroes arise to challenge fate
and lead their brethen
to battle!"




Some of you might know this scene. When the noble knight appears to lead his fellowship into the battle and a narrator's voice says this epic lines. For those who don't know what I'm talking about: Its a scene in the intro of the orc campaign of the game Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos. And the noble knight is the comrade in this intro who lent me his armor for my dragon problem in my backyard.

If any of you have a similar problem and wants a good protection while still looking handsome in solving this problem, then this might be something for you. All others: get lost! ;)


Content:

One armor set with the following pieces:
  • Helm
  • Bodyarmor
  • Gauntlets
  • Boots
  • Shield
  • Cloak

This set comes in two colour themes. Blue/grey and red/black.
The armor is also available with hdt support.


Two different swords:
  • Lordaeron Longsword
  • Sword of the Fallen Knight

Each as onehander and twohander with slightly modified shape.


Installation:

HDT-SMP for those who want physique cloth support
Just drag & drop it in your Skyrim data order or install it via your preffered mod manager like any other armor mod.


Ingame:

The armor and weapons can be crafted at a forge. Expert smithing perk for armor and ebony perk for weapons. Armor and weapon strenght and level fits into their perk level.
Cloak can be crafted at the tanningrack.


Issues:

Clipping:
The shape of the armor (oversized shoulders as hell) and the limits of the engine with its bones and rigs make it nearly unpossible to eliminate all the clipping. At least for me. I suggest three solutions:
1. Use more neutral idles, animations, etc... where the character doesn't rotate his head too much.
2. Be smarter than me and make a better rig :)
3. Grab a beer and accept it

All race support:
To all Argonians and Khajiits out there. Sorry that the helmet doesn't fit.
Done! With Version 1.1!

Temper the armor:
With Version 1.2 the armor and weapons can now be improved at the workbench and whetstone.

Weightslider:
The armor is made one size. One for male and one for female.

How shall I carry my sword?:
Currently no scabbard for the fallen sword. Maybe in the future

???:
Let me know if you find anything else.

Future Content:

For those who think that the armor would look great in gold, black, pink, yellow, etc.... or that a unp, cbbe, skimpy version would look great, or that [insert any request]:
I'm sorry to disappoint you guys. I'm currently very bussy and I don't have the time to make even the coolest and greatest stuff. However feel free to use any of my assets if you want. Just let me know and give credit.

I will probably add a fitting helmet for beast races and add a swordcase for the Fallen Knight Sword.
