📋 About This Mod
Why does this mod even exist?
AFDI already has huge in-built Wintersun support. When you destroy an artifact - you get a favor drop/increase from various deities.
This mod takes it one step further. Now you will not just get a favor drop from the deity whos artifact you destroyed - that deity will abandon you FOREVER. You will never be able to follow that deity again, or even get a shrine blessing from his/her shrine.
What does this mod exactly do?
Here's a list of features:
new since version 4. 0
- all the patches and optional files packed in a FOMOD
- Wintersun - Custom Race Support is integrated in the core file and extends my Wintersun - Custom Race Support Updated rather than the older version of that patch
- older versions of this mod didn't work properly without Reputation installed. Fixed it.
new since version 3. 0
- when you destroy your first artifact in the Forge (or perform certain actions towards Peryite/Molag Bal in jayserpa's TOCQE/HOHQE mods) – a quest will start, tracking your progress on your crusade in the name of the Divines
- basically, the quest is all about obtaining Daedric artifacts and then destroying them
- as you progress along the quest, the blessings of the Nine Divines will become stronger and longer, at first a little, but then more and more, finally resulting in a massive and permanent Blessing of the Nine.
new since version 2. 0
- introducing MCM: every bit of this mod (and monster spawns from original AFDI) can be configured there
- track the status of deity disposition towards you on the status page in the MCM
- If you destroy an artifact in the Aetherium Forge, you will never be able to follow that deity ever again.
- If at the moment of destruction of the artifact you were a follower of that deity - he/she/it abandons you immediately.
- If a deity turns his back on you, you will not even be able to get a blessing at his shrine. Don't try it, or the shrine will bite!
- In-built support for The Only Cure - Quest Expansion and House of Horrors - Quest Expansion "good guy" scenarios
- the "good guy" scenario in vanilla Waking Dream quest taken into account
- The Whispering Door - Quest Expansion is compatible, but the "good guy" scenario ending (handing the Blade to a Vigilant) doesn't make Mephala mad. Why? See below (spoilers!)
When you give the Ebony Blade to the Vigilant of Stendarr, the quest stage is set to 45 (quest complete, "good guy" mode).
However :) you can still turn the things around at this point. The Blade doesn't vanish from Vigilant's inventory, does it?
You can borrow it back, right? Oh, and remember Jarl Balgruuf's son, Nelkir? I wonder how he's doing, after all that

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Tight integration with two popular mods (AFDI and Wintersun) for a seamless experience.
- Active development—last updated August 2026, so it's likely kept current.
- Decent community traction with 103 endorsements and over 65k downloads.
⚠️ Cons
- Niche appeal: only useful if you already run both AFDI and Wintersun.
- Small mod with limited scope—just one quest tweak, not a major content expansion.
- Potential compatibility risk with other mods that alter the same quest or AFDI framework.
For Skyrim players who already use AFDI and Wintersun and want to expand the Daedra Hunter quest content. If you don't use those mods, this isn't for you. Skip if you're looking for standalone quest content.
