📋 About This Mod

"Powerful rulers of old pursued the spirit of the forest, not because they expected to kill it, but because it led them, in the joy of the chase, to new and bountiful adventures. The spirit saw the wealth and opulence these rulers brought to the world and decided he would remain in their service as a flesh and blood creature forever forsaking his spirit form.

Alas, the spirit grew tired of the kings, for they had lost their passion for adventure and no longer served the world, only their own needs. So the spirit receded into this sanctuary to await the coming of new power, in hopes he may once again witness true greatness. It is rumored he who controls the 'call of the wild' may summon the spirit to aid them in their hour of need."

--Legend of the Spirit of the Forest

*Overview

Quenya, Spirit of the Forest is a UNIQUE custom built ride-able Mount. Quenya is very Lore friendly and runs seamlessly in game, I tried for MAX stability and compatibility as I run a very heavily modded game and I of course wanted to use my own mod ;-). I hand made all the meshes; I used Original Skyrim resources and changed them to fit my own vision of a regal white stag mount, worthy of the Dovahkiin. I hope you enjoy!!

*How it works**

Quenya is a mount that you can summon from an alter I placed in Eldergleam Sanctuary, the Alter is called 'Horn of the Wilds' and is very easy to see, I placed it on the little mountain right near where all the people gather, where all the steam pyres are. Once you Activate the Alter, Quenya will now follow you and be your Steed. If you do not have a mod to manage horses (Convenient Horses, Immersive Horses etc.), he will simply continue to follow you until he is deactivated via the same altar. Quenya without a horse mod works perfectly as a mount, he will fast travel with you and does not have the ability to go through doors so he will remain outside, he will Run from battle and is Essential.

Quenya works GREAT with Immersive Horses!!! With Immersive Horses he will wait, can be summoned via the spell, follow etc, he gains ALL the traits that the horses get when using it. You can even change ownership so your followers can ride him if that is what you wish, as well as change his name, although the Altar will still refer to him as Quenya. The ONLY command that does not work from Immersive Horses is the Dismiss/Abandon Command, he can ONLY be dismissed by going back to the Altar and activating again.

I Have uploaded some videos to go with this mod, check them out on the "VIDEOS" tab, Sorry for my jumpy mouse controls lol I should probably have turned down the sensitivity.

*How to Install****

The mod is in 7zip form, you can manually install by extracting to the Data folder, however every modder SHOULD
