📋 About This Mod

An armor mod by Hothtrooper44.

The Redguards hail from another land, and are aliens in Skyrim. Their homeland of Hammerfell is dry, dusty, and hot. Since many players wish to role play as races from afar, I have decided to aid in this endeavor. Redguards can now don a set of armor from back home as they traverse the unforgiving tundra of Skyrim. If you enjoy role playing, and know the lore of the Redguards, this set is for you.

TVMZw5eyvUE Note that the classic weapon of the Redguards, the Scimitar, has been included as a craftable and upgradable item in this mod. Why play a Redguard without one?

The cape for the set is found in the Misc section of the forge and is optional to wear.

The armor is scaled to be near Dragon Bone in armor value and weight. The Scimitar is equivalent to a Daedric sword. The items are powerful, but within the bounds intended for the game. I don't want the player to outgrow the item's stats, but still kept the stats within reason for your game-play.

Craftable under the Steel section at a normal forge. The components are simple and easy to attain, but there is a certain satisfaction that comes with forging your own equipment rather than picking it up from a freebie box.

This set is hand crafted for both genders and all races.

Feedback on the armor should be left in the comments section. I will read all the comments made and consider requests for alterations and potential fixes.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since this mod is from 2012, make sure your Skyrim is updated and consider using a mod manager to avoid conflicts.
  • Check the mod's file structure after download — if it's a loose file, you can manually place it in your Data folder, but a mod manager is safer.
  • If you're using the Special Edition, you may need to port the mod or find a compatible version, as this was made for the original Skyrim.
