Description
>>Admonition Against Ebony<<
>>A warning to any who might claim the Ebony Blade.
To anyone reading this: BEWARE THIS BLADE
It is hoped that the only people having access to this room should be the Jarl of Whiterun and his trusted wizard. If anyone else is reading this, please understand the magnitude of your folly, turn around, and never even speak of this room or this blade to anyone.
It has corrupted and perverted the desires of great men and women. Yet its power is without equal -- to kill while your victim smiles at you. Only a Daedra most foul could have concocted such a malevolent and twisted weapon. But it appears that all who wield it end up with the crazed eyes of those wild men who roam the hills chattering with rabbits.
It is not to be trifled with. Not even the hottest fires of the Skyforge could melt it; indeed the coals themselves seemed to cool when it was placed within. We cannot destroy it, and we would not have it fall into the hands of our enemies. So we keep it, hidden, dark and deep within Dragonsreach, never to be used.<<
The Ebony Blade is a Daedric artifact found by the player during the quest The Whispering Door. It is an artifact of the Daedric Prince Mephala. I made this replacer as I did not like the 2handed Katana, it does not suit the picture of this daedric weapon in my opinion.
As in the book described you can not temper the blade but the blade damage is increased to reflect its superior origin.
1hand Version Base damage 29, weight 12
2hand Version Base damage 48. weight 23
You can only craft the Weapons from the standalone Version at the Skyforge.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 7,730 endorsements and 173k downloads — clearly a go-to for Ebony Blade fans.
- Gives you three weapon types (dagger, 1H, 2H) so you can match your playstyle without losing the blade's iconic look.
- Standalone option means you can have the new look without overwriting the original — perfect for collectors.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2017 — might not be compatible with the latest Skyrim Special Edition or Anniversary Edition without tweaks.
- No screenshots or detailed install instructions in the description, so you're flying blind on the visual result.
- Requires NMM for the installer; if you're on a modern mod manager like Vortex or MO2, you may need to manually install.
For Skyrim players who love the Ebony Blade but want a fresh look and more versatility in how they wield it. Great for roleplayers who want a dagger or greatsword variant. Skip if you're on the latest Skyrim version and don't want to fiddle with compatibility patches.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using NMM, the installer will walk you through choosing your weapon type — pick the one that fits your character build.
- For the standalone version, make sure to place it in your load order after any mods that alter the Ebony Blade to avoid conflicts.
- If you use Dual Sheath Redux, grab the included patch so the new models show up correctly on your back.
