Skyrim - Undeath Storyline
When a powerful necromancer and his followers seek out the forbidden secrets of immortality that could threaten Skyrim, will you defeat him to stop his evil quest, or continue it yourself?
Uncover a small new questline that will take you to the frigid peaks of the Dragontail Mountains themselves, and beyond, as you pursue a powerful necromancer and his followers, and thwart their plans to acquire powerful artifacts and ingredients for an unholy ritual. What you choose to do with those reagents, and the forbidden knowledge they have stolen however, is up to you...

Features
Current Version: 1. 3
When updating to the latest version, be sure to use a fresh save state (before previous Undeath versions were installed) to prevent any conflicts! As with installing ANY mod, be sure to keep a backup save just in case.
Version 1. 3 - Bug fixes and music re-added
- []Custom music re-added as loose files to prevent the CTD issue where it couldn't be read from the .bsa. []Reworked the transformation ritual so that it should no longer kill - or fail to trigger for players even if they completed it successfully. []The players race is now stored immediately before the first ritual transformation to prevent issues where the players race wasn't stored correctly due to alternative start mods. []More clouds added to Dragontail Mountains.
Version 1. 2 - Crash Hotfix
- []Custom music removed / disabled to attempt to prevent CTD's in all added locations. []Fixed an issue with Lich form duplicating staves it equipped. []Fixed an issue with Lich form re-equipping previously equipped staves, even if the player wasn't currently using one when they transformed. []Fixed an issue with the Broker's dialogue where she wouldn't give the player the book 'Necromancer's Moon'.

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Massive community trust — 39,761 endorsements and over a million downloads.
- Classic quest mod that's been a staple for years, still relevant today.
- Offers a branching path, giving you a reason to replay with different characters.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2013 — may have compatibility issues with newer Skyrim versions or mods.
- Requires a fresh character or careful load order to avoid conflicts with other quest mods.
For Skyrim players who crave new quests and don't mind an older mod. If you're a completionist or enjoy morally gray choices, this is right up your alley. Skip if you want modern polish or are running a heavily modded setup that might conflict.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make a save before starting the questline so you can experience both endings.
- Check your load order — place Undeath after other quest mods to avoid conflicts.
- If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to keep things clean.
