📋 About This Mod
If you want the shiny verion of this now, you can download my Imperial Dragon Armor Replacer here: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=29721 NEW!! I have added a flaming katana named \"Akatosh\'s Breath\" and changed the other katana\'s name to \"Akatosh\'s Talon\". For those of you who are \"flame purists\", I know that the fire is linked to the blade differently. While technically an \"incomplete\" way of doing the flames, it works well with the premise of the new back story below. The new optional file just overwrites the original and adds the flaming sword and changes the other sword\'s name. I have also added 2 SS of a possible update release of a shiny version. The original was just glossy. I know some people don\'t like things too shiny, but I do. If I get enough requests, I will release the shiny version as an option. This is a set of Golden Blades Dragonscale armor with a matching golden katana. (with an optional flaming katana) This is my first upload to the Nexus so be kind. If you like the katana, please give kudos to VagabondAngel as I used his godai model as a base for the sword. You can get his fine work here: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=5704 At this time, I believe it is only necessary to have that mod installed. You don\'t have to have it activated. You might able to use this mod without his at all. I don\'t have a \"clean\" version of Oblivion to be able to verify that. I just retextured the vanilla Blades armor. Click on my name and scroll down to see my other mods. The back story.... \"The original Dragonscale Blades armor made from the scales of Akatosh himself. The knowledge of how to smith the armor out of Akatosh\'s celestial scales was given to the Septims along with the Amulet of kings when the dragon fire was first lit. Akatosh also donated a claw that was used to make the golden katana. A second claw was donated for an enchanted weapon. When this second weapon was complete Akatosh breathed on it and willed the fire to a blade like thickness. This honed it to a razor sharpness, added durability and added fire damage to the blade. This blade would cut the wind itself. All past and present Blades armor and weapons are based off the designs given to the Septims by Akatosh. This set has been worn by the past champions of Cyrodiil and was rumored to have been worn by the Akaviri Commander Mishaxhi himself who now haunts Pale Pass. He gave up his cleaver only after being given a chance to wield the Golden Champion Katana named Akatosh\'s Talon.\" Location: The set is located in a chest inside the Cloud Ruler Temple Great Hall. Once you go in the doors, take an immediate right and the chest is in the corner named \"Gift of Akatosh\". At this time, there is no script and the chest is not locked. Requirements: Just Vagabond\'s katana models found here: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=5704 (and the latest Oblivion patch as well) Info: I made it encha
