Detailed Mod Description -

This mod allows the player to craft my interpretation of the Xal'atoh, Desecrated Image of Gorehowl from World of Warcraft's Mist of Pandaria Expansion in Skyrim. The weapon utilizes a highly detailed, but poly efficient model and 4k/2k texture mapping. The programs used in its creation are Blender 3D, paint.net, Adobe Photoshop, and Quixel Mixer. The ESP is ESL flagged and therefore shouldn't take a space in mod load orders.

The screenshots provided are taken with the Enhancer ENB and a Custom ReShade that slightly amplifies saturation, tone and contrast so they will look different in different graphical setups. On most other graphical setups, the colors of the weapon will usually be less saturated or obvious unless you are using an ENB or Reshade that adds more saturation, tone, and/or contrast than mine.

Weapon Lore -

Upon claiming the power of the dead Old God, Heart of Y'Shaarj, Garrosh Hellscream becomes the most based Warchief and makes the Horde great again, in his pride and arrogance, attempts to establish his ideal version of the Horde by culling those he deems unworthy, reigniting war with the Alliance, and garnering an exclusive cult following that would follow him to the end.
In the Siege of Orgrimmar, the final raid of World of Warcraft's Mist of Pandara Expansion, players can fight Garrosh who is being empowered by the Heart. In this form, he wields Xal'atoh the Desecrated Image of Gorehowl. This weapon of the sha is very reminiscent of his father's axe, Gorehowl, however, it is a twisted manifestation of Garrosh's unrelenting pride and iron will.


Weapon Stats -

This horrendous axe is an amalgamation of metal and the flesh and sinew of the Y'shaarj. It is powered by the wielder's desire, will, and negative emotions, enhancing their combat capabilities at the cost of falling victim to the Old God's whispers. One may soon find that the salvation this weapon offers may in turn become their ultimate downfall.

- Weapon Type - Battleaxe
- Weight - 20 Units
- 40 Attack Damage
- 1.7500 Reach
- 0.8000 Attack Speed
- Weapon Enchantment - None (Free to Socket) (Can be enchanted with one's enchantment of choice)
- Special Perk - World Eater's Pride

If one find's Xalatoh's perk power too good to be true and/or a bigger hindrance than they expect, they can cripple the weapon and remove it at any forge.

Special Perk  - World Eater's Pride

It is very much in the nature of a dragon to dominate, rule, and prove themselves superior among themselves and most importantly, against the mortal races of Tamriel. Xal'atoh knows this too well, and it will provide the Dragonborn with several gifts that will enhance their physical prowess while wielding this weapon.

Initially, Xal'atoh's presence will enhance the base strength of the wielder, meaning that this weapon will do more damage (50% More Damage) in general against anything it is up against. One may also find themselves tireless as Xal'atoh seems to provide its wielder an unnatural amount of stamina recovery (100% Additional Stamina Regeneration).

The greatest power provided by Xal'atoh, however, resides when one places their strength into powerful blows (200% More Power Attack Damage). It's easy to find one's self cutting through enemies without any effort at all while swinging the weapon wildly (Power Attacks Ignore 75% Armor if Enemy has Armor Rating Above 0).

When one of these enhanced power attacks lands on an opponent, 1 of three things can occur to them (Power Attack Can Inflict One of Three Effects). One, the enemy hesitates suddenly and doubts their ability to use physical techniques (The Power Attack Completely Depletes The Enemy's Stamina Bar). Two, a primal fear may overtake the enemy and they may find difficulty in moving (The Power Attack Slows Enemies by 75% for 15 Seconds). And three, the wielder's newfound strength and power create an exploitable weakness within the enemy's defense (The Power Attack Reduces Enemy Armor Rating by 200 Points For 15 Seconds).

With such power in one's hands, how can one exactly fall? After all, how can this power fail you? These are the thoughts Xal'atoh may send to one's mind and psyche, however, though this power cannot fail you, you can fail to sustain this power.

When one is near the verge of death, Xal'atoh's unnatural power become its greatest downfall. One will find that they are extremely exhausted and recover their strength (Below 35% HP, Stamina Regen is crippled by 200%). In addition to this exhaustion, the wielder's body becomes extremely weak and frail to the point where they can no longer sustain themselves (Below 35% HP, Wielder takes 275% More Damage from All Sources).


Way to Obtain and Recipe -

Forgotten, Xal'atoh lies at the end of the Sightless Pit, embedded in stone right next to the dungeon's final chest. There, it waits patiently for another who will succumb to its promises of the future.

Should one find Xal'atoh to be too much to handle, they can stifle the axe's perk by going to a forge and combining it with garlic.

Crippled Xalatoh -
- The Original Xalatoh
- 1 Garlic

If one wishes to re-awaken Xal'atoh from its crippled state, they simply need a heart of malevolent intentions.

Original Xalatoh
- Crippled Xalatoh
- 1 Daedra Heart

All versions of Xal'atoh are temperable at the sharpening wheel with a Black Soul Gem.

You can also use console commands or AddItemMenu if you want it instanteously.

Personal Notes and Future Updates -
Cursed Organic Flesh weapons and any of that sort are tough to model and sculpt, but ultimately, really rewarding to complete and finish
- Also is it just me, or are most WOW weapons just comically large?

- I might do a joke weapon next. I need to cool-down after the ordeal that was this project.
- After the joke weapon, I might create a Kuru-Kuru~ or finish modeling Suka Suka's Carillons.
