About:
The Ashbringer and Corrupted Ashbringer are based on weapons from World of Warcraft. There is no real way I could try and fit these into Skyrim lore because let's face it, they're huge!
Glow intensity is based upon your ENBseries preset and may differ in comparison to the screenshots. This comes in 1k, 2k, and 4k resolutions.
What this mod includes: Craftable (under Daedric) Ashbringer and Corrupted Ashbringer. The Corrupted version is an upgrade to the non and both are stronger than a Daedric Greatsword and have their own separate enchants.
Do NOT optimize the textures! Some maps are purposely uncompressed!

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 3,127 endorsements and nearly 70k downloads.
- Offers texture options to fit your rig—1k for low-end, 4k for screenshots.
- Two versions in one mod: get the holy and corrupted looks without extra downloads.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2019—might not be compatible with the latest Skyrim patches or AE.
- No gameplay changes—just visual weapons, so if you want stats or enchantments, look elsewhere.
- Only two swords, so if you're after a full weapon pack, this is a niche pick.
For Skyrim players who love World of Warcraft and want to wield the legendary Ashbringer. Also for collectors of unique weapon mods who appreciate high-quality textures. Skip if you want gameplay-altering weapons or a large arsenal.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to install and manage the texture version you want.
- If you're on Skyrim Special Edition, check if the mod has an SE version or needs conversion—this one is from 2019.
- For best visuals, grab the 4k version, but if you experience lag, switch to 2k or 1k.
