📋 About This Mod
What history has obscured is the Angels; whom are the progenitors of the Nephilim race; were brought into existence during the Dawn Era to act as Guardians of Nirn, to protect it from the corrupting influence of Padomay's Children...the Daedra. A select group of Angels known only as Watchers were to act as protectors, teachers and warriors on Nirn, however many became lustful of mortal women hence why the Nephilim were born...part Anuic Angel and part Mundane. By most they are considered abominations; a scourge that must be purged from the world, when the Angels were called away from Nirn a kill order was put into effect to destroy any and all Nephilim. Few survived in secret while most of their brethren were slaughtered, even now a handful remain alive waiting for an opportunity to resurface.
