📋 About This Mod
Patreon Ko-Fi Discord
This mod adds a standalone heavy armor set and one handed sword inspired by Jack of Blades and his iconic Sword of Aeons from Fable!
The armor and one handed sword all share the exact same stats and recipes as vanilla Daedric armor, which means you craft them at a forge under the Daedric section! (Or use console commands/AddItemMenu)
Armor in game is named '' of Blades''. Weapon is ''Sword of Aeons''.
No HDT SMP on this mod, Males and Females have custom meshes. Textures are all 4K Resolution!
There are 3 main files for this mod. The Chapters Version will make your armor appear how it does in the screenshots titled Chapters Version. The Render version will make the armor how it appears in the screenshots titled Render Version. The Royal Version was a request to make the armor cloth purple. The only visual difference between the Chapters, Royal and Render versions are the textures.
There are multiple versions of some armor pieces for visual differences.
Read credits and permissions please.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 832 endorsements and over 111k downloads.
- ESL flagged means it's light on your load order—perfect for mod hoarders.
- 4K textures give it a crisp look without needing an ENB.
⚠️ Cons
- Only one armor set and sword—don't expect a full Fable arsenal.
- 4K textures might be heavy for lower-end rigs, especially if you're running other texture mods.
- No gameplay changes—it's purely cosmetic, so if you want stats or enchantments, look elsewhere.
For Skyrim players who love Fable's iconic armor design and want a standalone piece that doesn't clutter their load order. If you're a collector of unique armor sets or just want a stylish new look for your character, this is a solid pick. Skip if you're after gameplay-altering gear or if your PC struggles with high-res textures.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's ESL flagged, you can safely add it to your load order without worrying about the 255 mod limit.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, just download and install—no special patches needed.
- Check your VRAM if you're running other 4K mods; if you hit stutters, consider downscaling the textures.
