📋 About This Mod

Hardly anything is known about the Chael Nad'ra. One thing that is known however is their exquisite craftsmanship, especially when it comes to their more exotic weapons. Normally they don't share them with outsiders. They are handed down from generation to generation and taken care of in sacred rituals and some say... magic. That is of course nonsense! Magic does not exist! But no one can deny that the Chael Nad'ren weapons are... something else. They are lighter, sharper and definitely more deadly, as anyone who ended up on the wrong end of them - for whatever foolish reason - will agree. If they are still alive that is.

            Where to find/How to spawn?

            The weapon's culture is set to "battania" so they might up in Battanian settlements eventually, I haven't fully understood how the trade system works. Honestly, if you're not of the patient type, or just want to check the weapons out real quick, I recommend you to enable the game's
