Artifacts of the Ancestors

Artifacts of the Ancestors adds several new artifacts and unique items from previous Elder Scrolls Games, distributing them throughout the world and to different merchants as a way of providing the player new and interesting unique items to use. Items are varied and designed to mostly be suitable for early and mid-game content, with some being more suited to late game content. Some items come with stronger enchants or triple enchants at the expense of a debuff. Some items have enchants on off-slot pieces.

Requirements
Thaumaturgy - An Enchanting Overhaul: The enchantments on the items are based on Thaumaturgy and the mod requires it.

Compatibility
Artifacts of the Ancestors makes a lot of level list edits. Please use the included patches in the fomod or patch your own level lists via a bashed patch.
This mod is not really compatible with Oblivion Artifact Pack as both mods add "the same" items, but using the two mods together will not break your game.
The new items are not patched for Legacy of the Dragonborn.
