Introduction: ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

First of all, I cannot take full credit for this material as I had nothing to do with the development these meshes which were desighned and implemented by mxwqtkl for his "Shiny Rubber Catsuit" mod. He created the models which inspired me to make this mod.

That being said, I am entirely responsible for this mods textures into which I put a considerable amount of time and effort.

Since skyrims initial release, the nexus has been inundated with armor mods of every shape, color and predilection imaginable. From the poly/textural masterpieces of ZeroFrost and Cabal120 to the anime and motion picture adaptations of Neovinci and Halo there seems to be a custom armor for every sort of player.....unless your in the dark brotherhood.

Needless to say, original DB armor replacers seem to come far and few between And so, in an effort to add to the limited pool of lore-friendly custom DB armors, I created this mod.

I sincerely hope you enjoy the armor, please contact me with any issues or bugs, or leave a comment below.

Description://////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

There are two versions, Choose only one.

Replacer: This mod adds two new armor sets to skyrim as well as three new weapons. the gilded bow, the bone hilt saber and the black bow.

As previously stated, there are two armor sets, the black armor set which replaces all the standard female armor pieces for the dark brother hood, and a red version which replaces the "ancient assassins armor" that you receive upon completion of the "Assassin of old" sidequest towards the end of the main DB quest line.

All the weapons are in a barrel inside the entrance to the dark brotherhood sactuary.

A stand alone version will be comming shortly.

Standalone: Both sets of armor are available by crafting, through any forge in the game under the "Leather" section. The weapons are also gotten through the forge, but require the ebony smithing perk to acuire.

Installation:///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Download the file, unzip, copy the contents to you skyrim data directory and join the dark brotherhood.
