File credits
I have used assets from the DDC3 mod, they have all given permission, this can be seen on all of their profiles. The Know Your Enemy dragon or Mindokhinpaal uses the meshes of yousukeve and the texture of the dragon was made by (I think, I couldn't see it on the authorship doc on DDC3, if I am wrong please correct me) Bellyache who has also given full permission. The weapon and texture from Brukafriid are made by billyro.
The False Idol dragon or Uthdrogthraan uses meshes from yousukeve and the texture from opusGlass who have both given permission.
The Plundered Seas dragon or Paarahyuvon uses meshes and textures from yousukeve.
The Deafening Silence dragon or Kulaandur uses meshes and textures from yousukeve.
The Eternal Liberation dragon or Sildilon uses meshes and textures from yousukeve.
Thank you to hrodeberht1 for making the "Human Animation Skeleton Race" mod, I used this in the 1.4 update :))
This mod is no longer supported, and so do not expect any patches for its many problems. I made this when I was much less experienced, and overall dislike the mod for its issues. If you are willing to put up with these problems, go ahead and download the mod. If not, I recommend to check out some of my other stuff to get similar short form quest content.
I have always thought that dragons were a bit misrepresented in Skyrim; they were all, with the exception of some dragons like Paarthurnax, Durnehviir, and Odahviing, mindless beasts that just loved violence. I have decided to slightly change this and add in five new quests, all of which feature dragons that aren't warmongering beasts but intelligent animals with thoughts and desires of their own. All of these quests feature a quest reward and interesting stories that will hopefully make Skyrim's dragons feel more alive.
If anyone could provide more pictures, that would be amazing. I have a bit of a potato PC and so can't get many good ones :))
The largest of the quests, "Know Your Enemy," will take you all over Skyrim in a scavenger hunt for a dragon. The dragon will give you riddles that must be solved by the player, and once the player does find the dragon, he will reveal more of his past.
A video showcasing the quest and its voice acting can be found here:
This quest is quite lengthy and has around twenty minutes of total dialogue; this does not include the player finding the dragon. The voice acting in this quest is of extremely high quality, and it will dive into some of the lesser-known parts of Skyrim's lore. It can be started by going to the location "Dead Men's Respite," where the dragon can be found sitting just outside of the ruin. There are no quest markers, so the player must decipher the riddles by themselves. If you do get stuck, there is a list of the location he visits within the documentation tab.
The dragon in this quest is voiced by the incredible Jake MacDonald; if you like his work and would like to speak with him, you can reach him via his Discord: The Manaconda#2650. Or his Gmail: [email protected].
The dragon's mesh and texture were taken from Diverse Dragons Collection 3. The person who made the mesh is yousukeve who has given full permission and the person who made the texture is (I think, I couldn't see it on the authorship doc on DDC3, if I am wrong please correct me) Bellyache who has also given full permission. The custom sword texture is taken from the "Lazy Weapon Pack" by Billyro, thank you to them for letting me use their amazing work!
The next quest, Plundered Seas, will take the player into the ruin of a ship; it has been sunk by a mighty dragon that seems to be obsessed with gold.
A video showcasing the quest and its voice acting can be found here:
This quest can be triggered by pulling the lever that opens the gate to the room of Jurgen Windcaller; once this is done, a courier will deliver a letter to the player that instructs them on where to go. The quest is fairly short, but it does have multiple outcomes depending on the player's choices, along with high-quality voice acting by Heavy Burns! It also repurposes a location that was not used for anything in Vanilla, and if explored thoroughly, it may give the player some more insight on the dragon and its activities.
This dragon is voiced by the wonderful Heavy Burns. I'm sure many of you are familiar with him and his content, but if you aren't, here's his YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/@HeavyBurns

The 3rd quest of the mod, False Idol, revolves around a dragon who has gained worshippers who see him as a god.
A video showcasing the quest and its voice acting can be found here:
The quest can be started by approaching their camp, its location can be found in one of the thumbnail pictures.
This quest also features two endings that are determined by the player's choices. All the NPCs within the quest are all voiced by just one guy, Harry Gill. If you're a fan of his voice acting, you can contact him at either his website, www.harrygillvo.com, or his Twitter account, @harrygillvo.

The fourth quest revolves around duelling a dragon to suppress his base urges.
A video showcasing the quest and its voice acting can be found here:
This quest can be started by going to the location specified within the thumbnail image. This is a fairly lengthy quest that will take place across multiple encounters that unlock after a certain amount of time has passed in-game. As you progress through these encounters, the dragon will become more concerned about a condition that has afflicted him. I won't say any more so as not to spoil the quest :))

The fifth quest revolves around unconvering a necromantic dragon who is currently trapped in a cave.
A video showcasing the quest and its voice acting can be found here:
The quest can be started by going to "Wyrmshade Necropolis", a new location that can be seen in the images tab. Eternal Liberation adds in an entirely new location with a dragon who has mastered the arts of necromancy. He is currently trapped in a cave and has been for countless years but soon, he will escape! The quest also features three radically different experiences depending on your prior choices. I won't say anymore :))
The amazing voice actor for this mod is Urgie, his Twitch can be found here: Twitch.tv/urgie A returning voice actor also appears in this quest, their Twitter can be found here: @harrygillvo

If you were wondering why the 1.4 file includes a new .esp, it's because skeletons in the base game can't use a mining animation so I had to use a modder's resource, thanks to hrodeberht1 for making such a useful mod :))
