📋 About This Mod

I love the look all armor sets in vanilla Morrowind except for the ebony. So I replaced it in my game by Sotonhorian armor and decided to share. This beautiful armor set was created by Andragorn and converted to MW by Bahamut.

This download contains only esp file. You still need the resources (meshes, icons, textures) from the Bahamut's mod (you can get it here: https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/44189?tab=description).

I didn't replace ebony towershield and unique ebony armor pieces (such as Soscean cuirass).

I didn't modify body parts, only armor entries, so any other armors which use stock MW ebony meshes won't be affected by this mod.

This mod won't conflict with the Bahamut's mod.

Please refer to the original readme files for more details.
