This greatsword is inspired by the Astora greatsword from Dark Souls 3.
I made this weapon a while back, but finally finished it after realizing how well it fit with my other mod
Elegant Victorian Armour.
It's massive, but also elegant with a slim silhouette and ornamentation on the blade.
DESCRIPTION
The Astora Greatsword replaces the Sulevin Blade and is tintable.
There are two ways to obtain this weapon. Either by completing the side quest for the Sulevin Blade or by buying the schematic at the Black Emporium.
If you already bought it (or can buy it with another rich character) the schematic can be shared through the golden nug.
The blade is tier 3 so it can be used for an entire playthrough. Simply craft it over and over with better materials as you progress.
The blade doesn't work well for a dwarf. It's so long that it already almost hits the ground when playing human and elf.
If you feel like you can ignore the blade clipping through the ground, go right ahead though!
COMPATIBILITY
Incompatible with mods editing the model or textures for the Sulevin Blade.
INSTALLATION
Install using Frosty Mod Manager. Make sure you are using the latest version.
This mod is only possible with Frosty, no Daimod unfortunately.
In settings in game you should have mesh quality set to Ultra, but it should work on High as well.
For use of both Daimods and Frosty mods together please see this guide by AnaisAndStuff:

Some DAI mods can also be installed directly with Frosty, but not all will work in my experience. Trial and error!

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community reception (152 endorsements) for a niche weapon mod.
- Frosty aesthetic fits the Dark Souls vibe and adds variety to weapon choices.
- Simple standalone mod—no complex dependencies or patches needed.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2020—may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim SE patches.
- Only one weapon—limited content for the price of a mod slot.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a standalone weapon, you can find it via console commands or crafting—check the mod page for the ID if you're lazy.
- Make sure your Skyrim SE is up to date, as the mod hasn't been updated since 2020 and may conflict with newer patches.
- If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting other weapon mods.
