Cerwiden (Ceri) is a young Priestess of Donblas who hails from distant shores. She recently ventured to Skyrim, and is still new to its vast lands. Will you be her guide, friend and companion?

She is fully voiced, and includes custom backstory/quest content (new content planned with updates). As a Priestess of Donblas, Cerwiden will:
  • []Cast defensive buffs on you and your other followers, with buffs increasing in number, magnitude and duration as she gains more experience adventuring []Heal you and any other followers you may have in your adventuring party (if you have other followers, they\'ll occasionally comment on Cerwiden\'s heal spells, just like when the player casts heals on them) []Cure you of normal diseases if you become infected (after combat of course, she\'s smart enough to realize you may get reinfected, so she\'ll save her magicka); she won\'t cure \"quest\" diseases like lycanthropy so you can do those quests if you\'d like []SMARTCast offensive spells; she\'ll choose spells based on the opponent she\'s facing, so more silly mage followers casting cold spells at frost trolls (in Ceri v1. 7+, she\'ll also SMARTCast using her unique staff) []Change outfits periodically when not following you actively(and at night will wear her sleep clothes, and may decide to wear her hair \"down\" instead of in a pony-tail) []Take instruction from you on how you\'d like her to (re)act in combat; with \"Battle Command\", she\'ll even change tactics while in combat at your direction (see \"Configuration\" section)

This mod comes with a fully voiced, custom dialogue-based interface, available after you first recruit Ceri, to configure how she should fight and heal, and even where to go if dismissed. The Configuration section below shows the options available, and there are many! (A copy of the configuration options map is also included in
