📋 About This Mod

Original design by

Brendan Olszowy of Fable Blades

Jeffrey J Robinson of Bronze by Jeffrey J Robinson

This sword is made in the image of a real sword, which itself was created as a loose version of Longclaw as described in the book series, "A Song and Ice and Fire". There will be differences from the description in the books.

Main Files

ISD Longclaw Standard

Includes a little scripted sequence to obtain Longclaw, a mini-quest of sorts. To begin, go kill a wolf, any wolf. Something interesting should happen. Remember to loot the corpse. If you want a two handed Longclaw, after you've obtained Longclaw please read the note in your inventory called "Rebalance Longclaw".

ISD Longclaw Craft

Crafting only version. This does not include the scripted sequence. Longclaw can be crafted at the forge under the steel category, both one handed and two handed variations are available. The ebony smithing perk is required for balancing reasons.

Both files include the ability to improve the sword with one steel ingot at a grindstone and the ability to enchant the sword.

Optional Files

Delete all files in Meshes/Imsumdave/Longclaw and Textures/Imsumdave/Longclaw before updating to version 1. 7 from a previous version.

ISD Longclaw Silver is now ISD Longclaw Steel, as of version 1. 7.

ISD Longclaw Steel

Includes textures and models giving Longclaw a steel hilt and pommel. This file is optional and requires at least one of the two above files be installed in order to work correctly.

ISD Longclaw Series Friendly

Includes textures and models changing the guard to steel and the pommel to pale stone. This file is optional and requires that either "ISD Longclaw Standard" or "ISD Longclaw Craft" be installed in order to work correctly.

Dual Sheath Redux Meshes

Dual Sheath Redux compatibility meshes. Created by dxraptor.

Contains alternate sheath meshes. A slight modification of the standard sheath. Created by dxraptor.

Longclaw enb gray leather fix

Install this if you use enb and Longclaw's leather looks gray in-game. This file contains textures: darkened color (diffuse) maps for the sheath and sword handle.

⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated in 2014—might have compatibility issues with newer game versions or mod setups.
  • Only one weapon—if you're looking for a full weapon pack, this won't satisfy that itch.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since the mod is from 2014, make sure your Skyrim is patched to a compatible version—most classic mods work fine on Special Edition with the right patches.
  • Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to install and manage this mod easily, and to keep track of load order.
  • If you can't find the sword in-game, use the console command 'help longclaw' to locate its ID, then 'player.additem' to spawn it.
