Children of the Wave - A Redguard NPC Overhaul

Like a swarm of slaughterfish, the Ra Gada armada tore along Tamriel's shores as the Yokudan invasion began. Furious fighters with nothing to lose - their own archipelago was lost to the western seas - they brought swift death to coastal colonies... No compromises were made."

-The Improved Emperor's Guide to Tamriel: Hammerfell by Flaccus Terentius

The Redguards are descendants of the Ra Gada, the 'Warrior Wave', who esaped an apocalyptic end of their native continent to carve out a kingdom for themselves on the shores of Tamriel. They are excellent warriors with a talent for martial tactics and adaptation to their harsh dersert home. This mod attempts to add a little more flavor to their appearances.

You will see NPCs with new hairstyles, as well as an increased range of skintones and eye colors. Additionally, I've tried to add more diverse facial features, branching out from Skyrim's nose/lip/face shapes by using EFM's more detailed sliders. I've also customized oodles of accessories to reflect a culture we barely get a glimpse of in-game.

As with the other mods in this series, I've taken into account social status, age, lifestyle, etc. in my design choices as well. All named NPCs use a set of new, custom textures.

Requirements

• []Children of Dawn's Beauty[/]

  []BEES (if using an older version of Skyrim)[/]

  While not strictly required, this mod was made with Expressive FaceGen Morphs and Expressive Facial Animations (Male and Female) active. Clipping and other issues may occur without them. I also highly recommend using a female texture replacer with fixed face UV symmetry.
