📋 About This Mod
Archon - Faiths of Tamriel
Archon is a comprehensive reimagining of Skyrim’s religion system, enhancing the vanilla framework and introducing new deities with unique, powerful boons. Archon breaks down Deity buffs into three major categories: (1) Blessings - these are the base benefits you get by praying at a shrine; (2) Acolyte - these are scaling bonuses that are unlocked and become stronger by performing activities associated with a given deity; and (3) Champion - these are capstone bonuses that are unlocked by completing specific quests or feats of strength, in some cases capstones also include additional restrictions. Archon turns Shrine Blessings into permanent bonuses, however you can only pray to one deity at a time. Acolyte and Champion bonuses will only apply if you have the Deity's Shrine Blessing.
Archon has been heavily inspired by and based on SimonMagus' Pilgrim and 3BFTweak's approach to religion.
The Deities
Archon's deities can be broken up into 3 major groups: The Divines, The Daedric Princes, and Miscellaneous Deities. In total Archon features 29 deities.
The Divines
The Divines are the most commonly worshiped gods in Tamriel. Archon's Divines are based on the Imperial Pantheon and replace the Vanilla game's Nine Divines. The Divines are generally accepting of all worshippers, although some may be pickier than others based on their sphere of influence.
