This is a small trailer ive made for the mod, however it is not very well done since i do not have that much experience with making movies, this was one of the first i´ve ever made! So tell me what you think!! :)

This mods adds 9 new playable races.

The Death Knight Version of each nine races of tamriel.

Once you reach level 10 you will have to choose what kind of Death Knight you

would like to be. A Specialization. If you then later feel that you chose the wrong specialization, then have no fear. You can visit the Shrine of Replacement inside Acherus anytime to change your specialization.

NOTE: once you have used the Shrine you must then fast travel in order for the script to update itself.

This is so much more than just a regular Racemod.

There is two ways of becoming a Death Knight:

- You create a new Character

Note: When you first hover over the character when you create a new character, you must then

scroll up and down the race list again until the eyes appears ( sorry its really wierd! will do a video about this! )

- Turning your already existing Character:

once you load your game with a race that is not a Death Knight, you will be given a " Death Knight Configure

Skull, simply Drop it and then pick it up and you will have an option to start the death knight

quest. ( P. S if you are a vampire this doesnt work! )

Note: Once you get teleported, dont take a step forward before you have saved your game then loaded it

up again, there is a dialogue issue surrounding Scenes.

Meet the Lich King Himself:

- Fight for the Lich King himself in a new Featured Questline ( Not finished! )

Note: the questline is not available as of now, but in every update i will bring atleast one or two quests (Death Knight Only)

The Quest " Destroying the Weak " is NOT finished, do not try to complete it just yet, i added it only to avoid problems later on when the new update comes

Death Knight Armors

Death Plate:

- Craftable armor ( Requires Dragonsmith P
