~ Long ago, during the dreaded Dragon Wars there rose a hero. Blessed by Kyne with weapons forged from the heavens and the power to bend the storm itself to his will, this hero was the Thunderer. ~

Description
===========
This mod is an attempt to bring lore-friendly Thor style weapons and armour to Skyrim. With this you'll get the Sovngarde Steel set (cuirass, helmet, bracers and boots and an unenchanted hammer) and the enchanted hammer Sahrot Strun Tu ('Mighty Storm Hammer' in the dragon tongue).
Both armour and hammers are craftable only at the Skyforge and fully temperable. However you require both level 50 in Smithing and the Heart of Thunder perk to craft them. The perk also grants a boost to stamina regen and resistance to magic. Both armour and weapons show up under Aetherium at the forge.
Upon being granted the perk, you'll also recieve the Wrath of the Thunderer spell, a powerful streaming lightning spell which can also be used to ignite oil slicks. You'll also get Kyne's Fury, a devastating AoE lightning spell. As it's so powerful it can only be used once a day.
--Acquiring the Armour--
Here are step-by-step instructions on how to get the items ingame. A lot of the issues people have had stem from simply not reading the instructions. So to remedy this I've laid it out as clearly as I can.
- Head up the 7000 Steps toward High Hrothgar. About two thirds of the way up you will come across a large alcove (there's usually a troll standing on top of it).
- In that alcove is a chest. Open it and you'll find a book called 'The Legend of the Thunderer'.
- Read it and you will be granted the Heart of Thunder perk and two spells; Wrath of the Thunderer and Kyne's Fury.
- Also in the chest are Aetherium ingots and void salts. Take them and head to Whiterun.
Once in Whiterun, head to the Skyforge as the items can only be crafted there. In addition to having the Heart of Thunder perk, you must also have a skill of at least 50 in Smithing in order to craft the items.
- The items can be found under the 'MISC' category. However should you have Dawnguard installed, they can be found under the 'Aetherium' category.
Heart of Thunder adds lore-friendly Thor-inspired Sovngarde Steel weapons and armor to Skyrim. With 854 endorsements and nearly 30k downloads, it's a well-received cosmetic and gear mod for fans of the Marvel character. Last updated in 2013, it may require compatibility checks with current game versions.
