Blade of Woe Replacer by Allomerus

As the night mother granted me leadership of the Dark Brotherhood, dominion over death itself, as my dreams of power became fulfiled, I gazed at my Blade of Woe. We had been together for a very long time, so much, in fact, that I hardly even remembered it.

Domination is destruction. All those who dare call themselves "loyal", "righteous" or "fair" only learn to oppress those they cannot see. The very principle of existence is thus : grow in strength so that none may overthrow your supremacy, control the meek and the weak-willed, and kill all who dare oppose you. Such is the will of nature. Such is my law.

I was like that blade. Pure. Virgin. Together, we discovered the thrill of the hunt, the lust for might, the empowerement of sinking into a terrified victims's first blood - my first blood. And hers. It is only nature. Those who label me crazed, mad, deviant, fail to see me as I truly am : the greatest expression of all predators' brilliant, overpowering health. Their disdain, and even their so-called "mercy" are poor disguises for their fear, the fear they share with lambs and all creatures too weak to claim power for themselves. They dare threaten me with justice. I will show them the justice of the night.

I am a child of the night, with the feline grace of the shadows and the cold patience of the stars. And now, my Blade, you are perfect, a flicker of darkness blazing in my hand. Slither through their souls, and extinguish them!

As you may have noticed, I love to add cheesy role-play intros to my mods.

Now to the ral thing: This mod changes the model for the empowered version of the Blade of Woe, which is rewarded for completing the Dark Brotherhood's questline.

When I saw the fan art picture, I just knew I had to add it to the game. Look at its shape! Dosen't it look perfect! It's like the blade was drawn before writing existed, and the word "stabbing" was just inspired by it! I think that a plain and dull ebony dagger model is just an insult to such an important and symbolic weapon.

This mod comes in two versions : One that simply changes the model and adds an unenchanted version to A Fighting Chance...

And one that not only changes the model and add an unenchanted version, but also gives the "virgin" Blade of Woe the model of a fine steel dagger (I think it's both prettier and more realistic - and it explains why Lucien Lachance has a bucketfull of them in his house), changes the blade's stats (slower, bit more range, more hard-hitting), and actually gives it a unique enchantment that better fits the assination style (heavy weakness to poison, among other things). It's awesome, really.

So there are two files available:
