📋 About This Mod

If you are a Lord of the Rings fan that would love to have the Black Riders in Skyrim to fight against or even become one yourself; this mod is for you. The Nazgul and the Ring of Power Mod; like the title says brings to the world of Skyrim the Nine Ringwraiths; the One Ring and several other features that will be described down below. The storyline for the mod is based upon the character Bilbo Baggins after the events taken place in the Hobbit and before the Fellowship of the Ring. The player will recieve a mysterious letter in his inventory and from there the player will know more about it as he continues playing. This was the most lore friendly way that i have come up with to bring the Nazgul and the Ring of Power into Skyrim. The following section will describe the Nine in some detail: Nazgul Race: The Nazgul are Undead creatures skilled in Destruction; Illusion; Light Armor and One Handed Combat. They have 50% Weakness to Fire; 25% Resistance to Magic; 100% Resistance to Poison; 100% Resistance to Disease; 50% Resistance to Frost and are immune to Paralysis. The Nazgul have the same Stats has the Ancient Dragons; except for the Witch King that has the same Stats has Alduin. They use a shout called Nazgul Black Breath that deals 100 points of Health Damage ; strikes Fear up to level 25 creatures in an area of 250 for 30 seconds and Paralysis for 3 seconds. \"Some races maybe immune to this shout\". The Ring of Power when equipped will give the player : A Power called \"Wear the Ring of Power\": This Power will give the player the ability to become Invisible. (Being invisible will make the Nazgul chase the player; the time they take to get to the player will depent how far away they are from the player while he is invisible. To test this feature just wait a few hours while invisible and very soon they will appear). The ring will also give the player +100 points of Health and Stamina; but will make Health and Stamina regenerate 50% slower. (This is the \"Unnatural Long Life \" and \"Burden\" effect that the ring gives its wearer). Note: Being invisible won\'t mean that everybody won\'t see you; this will also depent on your illusion and sneak levels just like in the vanilla game. In The Nazgul and the Ring of Power Mod the player will be able to become a Nazgul himself: By defeating the Nazgul the player will get all their gear that includes all the clothing; the weapons and each Nazgul has its own Ring with its own enchantment. The player will also be able to learn the Nazgul Black Breath Shout that shares the same words of power from another vanilla shout. You have three files to choose from; each one with a different type of robe for the Nazgul:(check out the picture and decide the one you want to install) The Nazgul and the Ring of Power Normal Robes (adds a black version of the vanilla robes). The Nazgul and the Ring of Power Greybeards (replaces with a black versio
