📋 About This Mod
Name: pale_rider\'s Armory of the Nordic Warrior Version: 1. 0 Date: 8/17/2009 Category: Weapons and Armor Requirements: Oblivion Patch 1. 2. 0. 214 Author(s): pale_rider Description =========== This modification adds an armor (1 and 2 pauldrons),2 weapons, a shield and a defensive Axe to the game, as well as 5 possible combinations of wearing the shield and weapons on back. The Set should look like the equipment of a warrior living in the high north. The set actually is my very own invention, some minor parts of it, however, may be inspired by other games. Everything was created by me, this is NOT a \"Rip-off\" of anything, I would never do such things. I know this Armor is unrealistic, but i do not care about realism in a game with talking cats and reptiles. Location ======== You can buy everything from Varnado in \"The Best Defense\" in the Imperial City. Details ======= The weaponpacks (Wp) are not scripted and thus will not equip automatically. That means, if you want to use the claymore, for instance, and you want to have everything else of the \"hand-equipment\" on your back you have to equip the \"WpClaymoreInUse\". It works the same for all the other Wps. Install ======= 1. Extract the files to a temporary location. 2. Copy files to (install folder)\\Oblivion\\Data\\ 3. Start Oblivion Launcher, click \'Data Files\', place a checkmark beside the .esp file(s). Uninstall ========= 1. Start Oblivion Launcher, click Data Files, uncheck the .esp file(s). 2. Delete the files/folders associated with the mod. Contact ======= You can find me on TESNexus as \'pale_rider\'. Credits ======= Thanks to Bethesda for creating Oblivion. Thanks to TESNexus.com for the a one-stop-shop resource for authors and players. Thanks to LHammonds for the Readme Generator this file was based on. Thanks to God for creating us all.

I would also like to know what mods are including my work.
