📋 About This Mod

Since the Argonians invaded and conqoured Morrowind in the recent past - the dominant faction of the invading forces and also who defeats Dagon during the invasion of Black Marsh in the Oblivion crisis, known only as the An-Xileel, they would naturally send border patrols on the Skyrim/Morrowind border to prevent any outside interfearance... Especially during such a turbulant time in Skyrim because of the Stormcloak rebellion. I may expand upon this but in past projects, I lost interest but who knows... I do have alot of free time this summer if I can help it, and I have alot of conceptual ideas involving the Argonians of Morrowind and the An-Xileel. This mod basically adds two Border watch type posts inhabited by Argonian An-Xileel soldiers, dressed in Leather Armor and carrying ebony weapons. This is lore friendly and a nice touch to realism of Skyrim.... there is a certain lack of Argonian NPCs in Skyrim All Argonians have individual Appearances and also the FaceGen info is included if your scared of no colors. I tried to style a few in the style as Oblivion Argonians based on facial colors and crests.... just a little nostalgia. There are both Male and Female Soldiers present No custom dialogue planned. If you dislike Argonians, move along.
