Defy the Gardener Special Edition
V 1.0

====================
Description
====================

I have always been bothered by how we got taken for a ride by Hermaeus Mora. Yeah, I know Apocrypha is his world, and he gets to dictate what we can see and find, if he feels like it. I still don't like it.
So I have decided to take the matter into my own hand, and made this thing. Now you get to have your cake and eat it, with some cherries on top.

This mod is now also on Xbox. Find it here. Big thanks to basspainter for the port.
If you use Skyrim Reputation by dcyren, DaankeyKang has made a patch for this mod.

====================
Feature
====================
- Gives the player another way to learn the final Word of Power of the Bend Will shout, without sacrificing Storn.
- A simple Black Book Dungeon with minor secrets, and grants powerful bonus in the end. Read this, if you want to know about the rewards.
- Plays great with "Miraak - Dragonborn Follower SE" mod. Now you can humiliate Hermaeus Mora even more!

====================
Requirement
====================
Skyrim Special Edition, Make sure your game is up to date!

====================
How to Install
====================
Drop both .bsa and .esp files in your data folder, and enable them with your mod manager of choice.
Since it touches Dragonborn's main quest, only install this mod before you have reached the Black Book in Nchardak, or after you have defeated Miraak and returned to Solstheim. I cannot guarantee what would happen if you install between those quests.

====================
How to Start
====================
Progress the Dragonborn DLC's main quest normally. When Hermaeus Mora asked you to give him a knowledge he seeks, as the price of the knowledge you seek, you should see a quest objective that prompts you to find another way to obtain that knowledge. From that point on, the mod will start to do its things.

A courier will be dispatched to find you, and hand you a letter. Follower the instructions given by the letter, and the rest will play itself out.

====================
How to Uninstall
====================
Since it touches Dragonborn's main quest, I would advise against uninstalling this mod.
If you wish to do it, however, please uninstall before you have reached the Black Book in Nchardak, or after you have defeated Miraak and returned to Solstheim.

====================
Compatibility
====================
Anything that makes changes to DLC2MQ05, "The Gardener of Men," runs the potential of creating problem for this mod.
Anything that makes changes to script "DLC2_QF_DLC2MQ04_020179DE," will conflict with the mod. I have included a compatibility patch for NFF. I don't think other follower mods do this, but do let me know..
Anything that edits Frea's finaly conversation with you, will create minor issue. Since she will be talking as if Storn has died, even if you saved him.
Anything that makes changes to the Old Attius Farm, including making it into a home, will cause problem with the mod, as you may not be able to access the cell added. Use coc command to get in and out.

====================
Known Issue
====================
Courier may not show up at all. This only happens to me when I stay on Solstheim. Traveling to Skyrim works for me.
I am unsure how to fix this, as it is up to the game to decide when to dispatch the courier.

====================
Permission
====================
Let me know before hand if you want to use it for anything.
