📋 About This Mod
Like I mentioned in the overview, this mod is an Addon to Scrabbulor's amazing mod, Shattered Skyrim.
This mod adds in a new NPC and his quest, it will take place across multiple encounters. The quest does not have any kind of quest markers as I think that Gallus' (the NPC) story is enhanced by stumbling upon him by pure coincidence. The quest features two endings, both quite different but I won't say anything more :))
A video showcasing his voice acting can be found here:

The man who voices Gallus is the incredibly talented Harry Gill, I'll leave his website and his Twitter below:

The guide is attached at the documentation tab, do not click it if you don't want spoilers.
Huge thanks to Scrabbulor and billyro.
Scrabbulor made the amazing Shattered Skyrim
billyro made the weapon that Gallus uses, it's from Lazy Weapon Pack 2

💡 Beginner Tips
