Civil War Neutrality SSE

I am not the creator of this mod. That honour belongs to plunket, who has very kindly given me express permission to port it over to SSE "as long as it ports perfectly."

Let's face it, we all know that the civil war in Skyrim is a put-up job, a crock. The Thalmor are working both the Empire and the Stormcloaks behind the curtain, weakening both so that they can eventually walk in and take over without having to mess up their fancy armour. They engineered the whole thing, and everybody knows it, but still people take sides. Well, now you don't have to; and more to the point, you don't have to be badgered about it.

Over to plunket for the inside scoop:

'Be neither a Stormcloak nor a Legionnaire, without missing unique game content. This mod:

1. Removes journal entries for Joining the Legion and/or the Stormcloaks

2. Enables you to become Thane of Eastmarch without being a Stormcloak, which means you get

a. the Axe of Eastmarch,

b. Calder the Housecarl,

c. the "Get Out of Jail Free Card", and

d. Hjerim becomes available for purchase after you complete Blood on the Ice. 

3. Puts potions of Ice Wraith Bane in Ulfric's strategy room in the Palace of the Kings.

4. Unblocks Korvanjund, giving you access to

a. the Hall of Stories

b. the Ebony Claw

c. the Jagged Crown, and

d. a Word Wall for the Slow Time shout.

That's twelve unique things you'd otherwise miss, and it's done with nothing added.

What Me Do?

1. Install the mod

2. To clear your journal of recruiting entries, go to the map table in Dragonsreach and read A Plea for Neutrality.

3. To become the Thane of Eastmarch, go to the throne in the Palace of the Kings and read Eastmarch Needs A Thane. Read it again when you finish helping the people of Eastmarch; then go to Ulfric and he will make you Thane. He will give you the "Join us"

speech if you haven't already met him; if so, just speak to him again.

You can clear your journal the same way as before.

4. The Thane can buy Hjerim if Blood on the Ice has been completed.

5. Korvanjund is accessible whenever you like, even if you skip the steps above. It

is not occupied by Stormcloaks or Imperials but you will need to fight a

few draugr to get to the Jagged Crown. Hit the boss or he won't attack
