📋 About This Mod

Have you ever killed a named NPC or creature in Oblivion and wondered why they were carrying the same generic weapon as every other enemy in the game?

Unique Artifacts for Unique People gives 27 named characters and creatures their own personal weapons. Each artifact has been designed to reflect its wielder's history, personality, abilities or role in the game world while remaining balanced within Oblivion's existing enchantment system.

These are not random overpowered weapons added to the game. The goal is to make the artifacts feel like weapons that could plausibly have existed in vanilla Oblivion all along. Defeat the wielder and claim their unique artifact.

The Artifacts

Bloodseeker - Seridur's one-handed mace

Equivalent to: Elven Mace

Enchantment:

  • []Absorb Health 4 points for 4 seconds [/]

Bloodseeker was a sinister mace that absorbed the life force of its victims. Its name reflected Seridur's hidden affliction and his constant need to satisfy his blood cravings.

Equivalent to: Elven Waraxe

Enchantment:

  • []Damage Health 10 points [/]

    []Disintegrate Weapon 30 points [/]

Enchantment:

  • []Fire Damage 35 points in 5 feet [/]

    []Frost Damage 25 points in 5 feet [/]

    []Absorb Magicka 15 points [/]

Hannibal Traven used the Crystal Gazer's Staff to scry into possible future events. The visions granted to him led him to fear for the safety of the Mages Guild and the dangers that might yet threaten it.

Equivalent to: Daedric Dagger

Enchantment:

  • []Absorb Magicka 5 points for 5 seconds [/]

    []Weakness to Magicka 15% for 15 seconds [/]

Falcar's study of the Black Arts led him to imbue this nefarious dagger with its dark enchantment while under the Shade of the Revenant at Dark Fissure. Its twisted power reflected the dangerous magical practices that ultimately consumed him.


Desecrator - Raelynn the Gravefinder's one-handed mace

Equivalent to: Silver Mace

Enchantment:

  • []Shock Damage 10 points [/]

    []Weakness to Shock 10% for 5 seconds [/]
