"Ildari? She was a beauty, she was. I tried to court her, but she had no interest in me. She was only interested in magic and power."

Warning:
By necessity, this description will contain some late-story spoilers for Dragonborn's Tel Mithryn quest line.
Feel free to install this based on the pretty screenshots, and then figure out who this character is by doing those quests.

She basically turned out too HOTT not to do it.
This is a bit of a perversion of the lore, admittedly... but I tried to integrate this into the story as best I could.
There is an extended dialogue scene (fully voiced with heavily remixed vanilla lines) where you talk her into traveling with you.
She also has a handful of other new lines when she's with you.
To recruit her as a follower:
Complete the Tel Mithryn storyline in Solstheim, sorry, I know it's long...
Look for her in the main tower of Tel Mithryn after you've turned in the quest to defeat her.

There will be a note nearby that explains what she's doing there.
READ THE NOTE before you try to interact with her.
The rest should be self-explanatory.
Please note:

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 758 endorsements and over 16k downloads.
- Turns a memorable villain into a follower, adding depth to your playthrough.
- Includes a bonus visual overhaul for Falx, so your undead minion looks better too.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2019, so it may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim Special Edition patches.
- Requires the Dragonborn DLC, so if you don't have it, this mod is useless.

- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to easily install and manage this mod.
