📋 About This Mod
Niofroeia By Billyro (who backstabbed everyone by asking for possible names and then just used his own)
Description
Adds a new sword to Skyrim called Niofroeia. It's pronounced "Neo-froi-ah".
Like most of my other weapons, it can be converted to a one-handed sword (and back) at any forge. You can pick from either 2K textures (better performance) or 4K textures (better quality).
Niofroeia can be found inside Steepfall Burrow (don't jump down the pit!). You'll have to kill two frost trolls to get it.

This mod should be compatible with everything.
Installation
Copy the contents of archive to your Skyrim\Data folder. Activate the .esp in the Skyrim launcher. That's it! Alternatively, you can download with NMM and activate it through that.
Permissions

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 762 endorsements and over 25k downloads.
- Flexible: convert to one-hander at any forge, so it fits different playstyles.
- Texture options (2K/4K) let you balance visual quality and performance.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2016, so it may not be fully compatible with the latest Skyrim versions or mods.
- Only adds one sword—if you're looking for a weapon pack, this won't satisfy.
- Potential conflicts with mods that alter forge recipes or weapon stats.
For Skyrim players who want a unique, well-crafted sword with flexibility to use as one-handed or two-handed. Great for collectors of standalone weapon mods. Skip if you're after a large weapon pack or need modern compatibility patches.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, install via the manager to keep your load order clean.
- Choose the 2K texture if you're on a lower-end PC to avoid performance hits.
- After converting to one-handed at a forge, make sure you have the appropriate perks to get the most out of it.
