Knights of The Thorn Armor Set

So the time has come to close up shop. I have migrated the files from this page over to the new page at AFK Mods. Files here are now archived, and comments are locked.

Knights of The Thorn Armor Set

One of the more enjoyable things about playing Oblivion are the various factions

throughout the game world. I really enjoy the quests associated with them and

the level of immersion they bring to the game.

The big let down comes when you see the uniforms and equipment...or lack thereof.

Especially true with this faction which has no uniform whatsoever, and a shield

with what looks like pencil sketched swords for an emblem.

So I decided to try my hand at making some minor improvements. The shield has been

retextured with a proper Knights of The Thorn emblem which closely matches the

tapestry found inside the Thorn Lodge building.

There are also matching cuirass, gauntlets, greaves, and a cape. All items have new

custom icons as well. I didn't do a helmet since none of the members wear a helmet

anyway...and the boots...well there isn't much you can do to improve the ugly steel

Stats are within a few points of standard steel equipment...nothing extraordinary.

Non Playable versions of the armors are Worn and used by Knights of The Thorn members,

and will be seen on the dead Knights lying around inside the Cheydinhal Oblivion Gate.

Sorry folks...no easy to get, dead body harvested armor sets to be found here.

If you want playable versions of the armor you will have to sign on for the quest and

receive it as a reward.

There is a scripted chest inside the Thorn Lodge containing a full set of armor and

shield. You will not be able to open it until you have become an Honorary Knight after

completing the quest and speaking with Farwil. So it would behoove you to keep him

alive and get him home.

Two plugins are provided. One for Shivering Isles and one for Plain Oblivion. The

Shivering Isles version applies the new Thorn Shield model to the quest reward you

receive in SI.

Knights of The Thorn Lodge. Just West of Cheydinhal stables.
