- --The Blades of An\'kewan---
- A mod for TES4: Oblivion
- --What you need to play this mod---
- 1. Oblivion patched to the latest version
- 2. A brain
- --What this mod can promise---
- 1. High-quality textures, many 1024x or larger
- 2. Extremely detailed meshes
- 3. Immersive puzzle-solving
- 4. A great sense of victory when finished
- --Overview---
- The Blades of An\'kewan is many things. To some it could be seen as a new chapter in TES lore containing a journal (~76 pages) detailing the nation of Ka Po\'tun of Akavir and their influence in Tamriel. To others it could be seen as a puzzle mod, designed to test your skills at solving riddles and the like by using a general knowledge of Tamriellic geography, culture, and history. And to others still it could be seen as a weapons mod, made to display a set of top-notch meshes and textures in the form of two versatile swords. Whatever this mod is to you, know this: YOU WILL NEED TO SOLVE THE PUZZLE TO FIND THE REWARD. I do not approve of comments discussing the puzzle elements of the mod, so keep it to yourself. You are alone in solving the puzzle, as I will not give hints and neither should anyone else. However, the puzzle does have a solution (even if it seems like there\'s nothing there, the cells edited are minimal and there should be little or no conflicts), and if you do manage to figure it out you will be justly rewarded. It will take time to complete the storyline, but instead of rushing through it just to get to the rewards, take your time to analyze the puzzle. Read the journal, review the clues, but most of all, enjoy the experience.
- --Installation---
- 1. Extract the .rar file to your Oblivion\\Data folder
- 2. Check the .esp in OBMM or the Data Files menu in the startup screen (or in whatever other mod loader you use).
- 3. When you load Oblivion, you will be sent a note from Phintias at the First Edition bookstore in the Imperial City. After you read it the rest is pretty self-explanatory.
- --Uninstallation---
- 1. Uncheck the .esp in OBMM or the Data Files menu in the startup screen (or in whatever other mod loader you use).
- 2. Delete the .esp and .bsa from your Oblivion\\Data folder
- --Troubleshooting---
- Q: What note are you talking about? When I load the mod nothing happens.
- A: You will only get the note if you have a fully-made character or if you are not engaged in battle. So go kill whatever is chasing you.
- Q: Help, I can\'t find the manuscript the note is talking about!
- A: Try loading this mod after any others that edit the First Edition bookstore in the Imperial City.
- Q: I solved the puzzle but I can\'t find the location it talks about! Is it ridiculously hidden/hard to find?
- A: Don\'t worry, when you find it you will know. This mod only edits one exterior cell far out of the way of most other mods, and there are none I know of (and that\'s a lot) that conflict. So keep looking.
- Q: OMG, like u ttly made teh modz 2 hard, were izz teh swordz?!!?!11?!

💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's an older mod, consider using a mod manager like Wrye Bash to keep your load order clean and avoid conflicts.
- If you're playing on Steam, make sure to disable Steam Cloud saves to prevent issues with modded save files.
- Look for the quest start by checking your journal or talking to NPCs in major cities — the mod doesn't give a map marker.
