📋 About This Mod

The aim of this mod is to reintroduce some of the daedra that were present in the previous Elder Scrolls games, but inexplicably absent from Skyrim. Yes, I am aware that since the Oblivion Crisis people are a bit more careful about messing around with daedra, but if Skyrim conjurers don't have a problem with summoning elemental Atronachs and Dremora Lords, I'm sure a few of them would try their hand at conjuring Scamps, or Daedroths, or Golden Saints.

The Spells:

- The books to learn the spells can be bought from the merchants that usually deal in spell tomes.

- Once you complete the Conjuration Master quest, Phinis Gestor (at the College of Winterhold) will sell tomes that teach you Thrall spells. These will allow you to summon daedra permanently, and are all Master level spells.

- NPC conjurers can and will summon the new daedra against you.

The Daedra:

The creatures added by this mod are listed below, together with some information about their skills, resistances and tactics.

Novice Spells:

Scamps are the most common of the lesser daedra. Weak, unintelligent and cowardly, they are easily defeated, but may still pose a threat in larger numbers. Scamps are most commonly associated with the Daedric Prince Mehrunes Dagon.

Abilities: 33% resist fire, 20% weakness to shock.

Tactics: Scamps attack enemies with their claws.

Clannfears are predatory animals that resemble lizards with large, bony crests. They are swift and strong, relying on their sharp beaks and talons to bring down prey. Clannfears are not particularly intelligent, and have no magical skills.

Abilities: 33% resist fire, 20% weakness to shock.

Tactics: Clannfears will rush enemies and attack them with bites and claw swipes.

Apprentice Spells:

The Herne are a race of feral, beast-like humanoids. They can be identified easily by their antlers. Herne make excellent hunters, as befits a race of daedra in the service of Hircine.

Abilities: 33% resist fire, 50% resist frost.

Tactics: Herne will use bows to attack enemies from a distance, and switch to melee weapons when they get up close.

Earth Atronach:
