This mod retextures the Blades armor set, shield and sword. Also contains optional retextures for LOTD's Dragonbane, Bolar's oathblade, Ancient Akaviri katana and 3 Akaviri guardian blades, Oblivion artifacts pack's Sunderblade, aegis of the apocalypse and Tower of the nine and Immersive creatures' Ancient Akaviri Armor. This mod contains textures only, no meshes or plugin. It is safe to add or remove from your game at any time.
The textures for the light and medium sets are based on Cabal120's aMidianBorn Book of Silence. I used their normal maps as a base to create my retexture Works with every mod that also works with vanilla Blades textures, such as Heavy armory, Animated armory, etc.
Fomod lets you pick and choose what you want.
Textures are 2k except Chest armor textures, which are 4k.
Half-res version available in Optional files (1k textures, except chest armor textures, which are 2k)

PATCHES
Cathedral Armory
Adds custom Environment masks to work with the meshes from Cathedral Armory Amidianborn Book of Silence
Cabal120's aMidianBorn Book of Silence adds its own blades meshes. The reflection settings on the chest piece are very different from vanilla's, so if you use Amidianborn Book of silence and have not deleted or overwritten its meshes, use this patch.
