Conjurer Nocturnal Shrikes

Oblivion is a great game in many ways, superior to later editions such as Skyrim and ESO by way of it's roleplaying aspects. But one thing that always annoyed me was that Oblivion is a game centered around the Daedra. Now, loyal fans and lore-mongers such as myself will be able to tell you that there are countless types of Lesser Daedra. The Shivering Isles even indoctrinated the Knights of Order into the lore, which was neat.

But how come, on a game centered around Daedra, the actual number of Daedra types were so limited? Where are the Vermai, the Herne, the Morphoid Daedra? Where are the Daedra Seducers? The Huntsmen? I'm really disappointed, personally, at the choice the devs made to not expand upon one of the core themes of the game.

That is actually something I seek to address.

What this mod does is it adds the Nocturnal Shrike into the game. Nocturnal Shrikes are described as scantily clad, beautiful, tall, pale, female Lesser Daedra that swear their loyalty to the Daedric Prince, Nocturnal. Making their debut in Battlespire and serving as antagonists in ESO, these Shrikes now find form in Oblivion as enemies in Conjurer Dungeons.

The Nocturnal Shrikes, while not too physically imposing, can cause trouble for any Player they happen across with their magic, owing both to innately known spells and physical scrolls. However, it may be worth a Player's while to hunt them down as, due to their Daedric Lord's status as the Patron of Thieves, these Shrikes may've come into some bits and baubles during their forced sojourn into Mundus....

You will begin to encounter Nocturnal Shrikes at level 14 and onward, and they will level with you until level 30. They will also have a decent chance to attack any Dremora they see who are not aligned with their Conjurer masters due to their feud with them

Be sure to track this mod, I'll keep it up to date as best as I can.

Finally, as per my modus operandi, these Nocturnal Shrikes have been given a unique voice and voice actor. Credits below. I also have it set so the Nocturnal Shrikes can be a playable race (They're not set as playable in the mod however). All one has to do is tick the right box in the CS. Only the Females have been optimized as there are no Male Nocturnal Shrikes.
