📋 About This Mod

KARLA RAVEN

THE REVENANT

An undead revenant risen to fight at your side.

Extremely powerful. Built for higher difficulty.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Overview

A revenant follower, a corpse returned from death to walk among the living.

In folklore, a revenant is a body risen from the grave to move among the living once more. The figure runs through Norse and Celtic myth and was recorded by English chroniclers in the Middle Ages, and the name itself comes from the Old French for "returning."

Karla Raven first released for Halloween 2021, and this is the most up-to-date version, with new features and a new look. She was voiced by Kersten Unger (Kikiapplus) from assets released for public use in the Custom Voice Resource, and a fully voiced version recorded by Kersten is on the way. A big thank you to my friend Damakarmelowa for help with the Creation Kit work needed to finish this mod.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Choose the right plugin: this mod ships in ESPFE (ESL-flagged) and Standard versions. Only use the ESPFE version on a new game, or if you have never installed a previous version of this mod in your current save. If you ignore this, I cannot be responsible for the result.
