📋 About This Mod
Dark Nova
Custom Daedric Greatsword made by mashing some vanilla assets. Dark Nova's origins are a mystery, but it's believed to be a weapon used in ancient Daedric wars. It's said that a single slash from it takes away a small amount of your soul, and it now resides in Mehrunes Dagon's Shrine. It's meant to be an upcoming follower's main weapon. Very high damage and range, lacking in speed to make up for it.
Location: Shrine of Mehrunes Dagon, The Pale.
