This mod allows the player to find and wield my interpretation of Honkai's Divine Key of Destruction, the Cleaver of Shamash, in Skyrim. The weapon uses a detailed poly efficient model and 4k or 2k texture mapping. It was made using the programs Blender 3D, Quixel Mixer, and SSEEdit. The ESP is ESL flagged and therefore shouldn't take a space in mod load orders.
The weapon follows the design of the original Cleaver of Shamash from Honkai Impact 3rd with a bit of Dwemer and Nordic - based designs in an attempt to seamlessly implement it into Skyrim. Both versions of the weapon have a breathing - glow effect of a that varies between a reddish - orange color.
Please do note that my screenshots for this mod use THE ENHANCER ENB and that results may vary depending on one's graphical setup for Skyrim.
Weapon Lore -
Source Material Lore
In Honkai Impact 3rd, the Divine Keys were created by an organization by Fire Moth whose sole purpose was to defend and help humanity survive the Honkai, an everadapting enemy that threatened the end of human civilization. Divine keys can be distinguished due to their creation requiring the usage of a Herrscher core, cores harvested from the greatest and most powerful of Honkai's forces.
The Divine Key of Destruction was created using the core of the Past Era's Herrscher of Flame. It's main function is unbridled destruction through its manipulation of fire generated by its Zeroth Power. An heirloom of the Kaslana Family, it has served in the protection and sacrifice of many heroes and warriors. However, there was only one person who was capable of properly using the Divine Key of Destruction's true nature, the original wielder, KeBin Kaslana.
Skyrim "Lore - Friendly Addition"
Like many other artifacts of the Dwemer, this mysterious greatsword seems otherworldly and unnatural. The designs do demonstrate that it is of Dwemer - make, but the alien quality and technologies possessed by the weapon say otherwise. Whatever they did with Heart of Lorkhan may have had even more lasting consequences than realized.
Weapon Stats -
The Cleaver form of the Divine Key of Destruction is rather light - weight while also being equivalent in strength to many other excellent weapons. Crafted using Honkai Components, its attributes come in the form of its raw power rather than physical prowess.
- Greatsword Type Weapon
- 50 Attack Damage
- 0.75 Attack Speed
- 2.00 Reach
- 20 Weight
- Special Perk: The Divine Key of Destruction
- Enchantment: Flames of Shamash (Cannot Be Disenchanted)
Base Weapon Enchantment: Flames of Shamash -
The Herrscher of Fire's core powers all of Shamash's ability. When these flames make contact with an enemy they take 50 points of fire damage to their health; not normally resisted with basic fire resistance.
Special Perk - The Divine Key of Destruction
The power of the Divine Key of Destruction is plain and simple. Destruction - both for the wielder and its enemies.
Sacrificial Hero -
Most warriors who wield Shamash are destined to die using it within battle, however, it is a glorious death blessed by miracles. When one's health goes below 25% while wielding Shamash, they gain the ability to inflict 50% more damage with the weapon and take only 25% of incoming damage.
Burden of Destruction -
The same flames that Shamash uses to inflict destruction upon its enemies do not treat its wielder no differently. Wielding the Cleaver of Shamash imposes a 50 maximum health debuff to its wielder. While above 25% of maximum health, the wielder also constantly takes 2 points of fire damage, and loses 100% health regeneration.These drawbacks, however, can be combatted with proper fire and magical resistance.
Power Attack - Burning Judgement -
The Cleaver of Shamash's true power lies when one combines its Zeroth power with their own strength. Power attacks dealt by the Cleaver of Shamash are enhanced by 500% of their base value. If the power attack makes contact with an enemy, the Divine Key of Destruction unleashes a lethal explosion dealing 200 points of fire damage in an area. To wield this power, however, also comes at price; therefore each power attack while wielding the Cleaver of Shamash now requires 500 points of stamina.
Method of Acquirement -
For some reason, due to the meddling of the Dwemer, the Cleaver of Shamash has manifested onto the surface of Tamriel. Upon its manifestation, its raw power destroyed whatever was around it, leaving only ashes remaining. There, it lies in the fireplace of a burnt home between Fort Greymoor and the Whiterun Western Watchtower, overflowing with unstable energies.
If one finds the natural characteristics of the Key of Destruction too strong for their liking, they can seal its power using Eorlund Gray-mane's Skyforge. The sealed blade still possess the peak physical state of the original, however, flames no longer generate. The sealed blade also allows for one to place their own modifications/enchantments onto the Cleaver of Shamash should one choose. If one wishes to unleash the powers of destruction once again, they can take the dormant blade to the Skyforge to reawaken it once more.
Both versions of the Cleaver of Shamash are temperable at a sharpening wheel with three fire salts.
Personal Notes -
- This weapon had so many parts that whenever I tried to sculpt and bake normals onto the base model, my RAM capped and I had to split the bake into two separate blend files D:. Do note that the computer I used to make this possess 32 GB of ram.
- I'm back to doing WOW weapons after this one. I am deciding between doing either Fatebringer from Shadowlands or Strom'kar the Warbreaker.
- After that, I'll probably model Carillion Seniorious, a weapon from Fate/Grand Order, and/or creating a higher quality weapon model for Bakuya and Kanshou
- Have fun barbequing things with Shamash!
