📋 About This Mod

An armor mod by Hothtrooper44

"Be careful. Their leader is a tricky one. They call him 'the Skinner'. I don't think I need to tell you why."

?Aela the Huntress

Krev the Skinner was my inspiration for the creation of this mod. Aela was right, a true warrior of the Silver Hand would wear his trophies with pride. After all, I doubt all that many men can stand up to a werewolf! If a dedicated hunter of the beasts should prevail, he would be highly respected among his peers and hold authority among the Silver Hand. Now those warriors who have done the impossible and slain a child of Hircine will sport their prize... and you can too!

"Mantle of the Silver Hand" is a lore friendly, standalone, light and heavy head piece with a cloak for both genders and all races. The armor is equivalent to Nord Plate/Scaled armor in statistics. It cannot be crafted, it is found on distinguished members of the Silver Hand - if you want one for yourself go pay them a little visit! It can be tempered using the pelt of a werewolf.
