📋 About This Mod
You will encounter groups of dead men that were fighting for their ideals. The mod adds spots of carnage with lots of loot and tells a story of how the men died. I find this to be immersive because in vanilla Skyrim you could go the whole game without even thinking about the civil war. Much loot is to be found at these sights.
