📋 About This Mod

𝔇𝔞𝔤𝔤𝔢𝔯𝔣𝔞𝔩𝔩 𝔖𝔱𝔶𝔩𝔢 𝔄𝔲𝔯𝔦𝔢𝔩'𝔰 𝔖𝔥𝔦𝔢𝔩𝔡

"Auriel's Shield, an Ebony shield said to have once belonged to the quasi-mythical Elvish deity Auriel, can make its wielder highly invulnerable. In its resistance to fire and magick, Auriel's Shield is unsurpassed. Like many artifacts of Tamriel, the Shield has life and personality of its own, and does not feel bound to its user. A popular fable tells the tale of it abandoning one wielder in her greatest hour of need, but this is perhaps apocryphal."

— Daggerfall description

Auriel's Shield in Morrowind was done dirty. No enchantments, and it uses a repurposed leather shield texture & model. A far cry from the divine artifact it's supposed to be. It's in game ID is even , so it was intended to be a tad nicer at some point

This mod replaces the model and textures for the shield, for one in the vein of Daggerfall's (image at the top). Added bump maps and some glowing script for some added pizzazz. (What's it say? Well you've gotta figure that out)

Can pair it with Auriel's Artifacts Improved if you want a good enchantment on it.
