📋 About This Mod
This mod disables the original quest for the Bow of Shadows Creation and places the Bow of Shadows as static loot in a reward chest for defeating a Morag Tong assassin, a reference to its wielder from TES Adventures: Redguard.
I've also included the tweaks from GrayMatter90's CC - Adjustments mod, so the Bow is now considered a Daedric weapon and has the same speed as the vanilla Daedric Bow. I recommend using the rest of the plugins from that mod alongside this one.
Bow Location Details:
This mod removes the annoying CC Bow of Shadows quest and instead places the bow as static loot within the Raven Rock/Morag Tong questline. It's a simple, focused tweak for players who want the bow without the quest hassle. With 533 endorsements and high downloads, it's a popular quality-of-life fix.
