📋 About This Mod
Patreon Ko-Fi Discord
This mod adds a standalone Dragon themed heavy armor set and one handed swords.
The armor and sword all share the exact same stats and recipes as vanilla Dragonscale/Dragonplate armor, which means you craft them at a forge under the Ebony section! (Or use console commands/AddItemMenu)
Armor in game is named ''Drake Knight ''. Weapons are ''Drake Knight Sword''/''Drake Knight Backblade''.
No HDT SMP on this mod, Males and Females have custom meshes. Textures are all 4K Resolution! If anyone wants there to be a HDT SMP version, message me and we can discuss!
There are 2 main files for this mod. One is the Drake Knight Armor (Craft everything). The other adds the Fallen Dragonborn boss to Skytemple Ruins which you have to defeat to obtain the armor.
If you want the Glow Variant when using the Drake Knight version, replace the meshes in the ''DrakeKnight'' folders with the meshes from the ''Glow'' folders.
Read credits and permissions please.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 316 endorsements and over 80k downloads.
- ESL-flagged so it won't eat a precious load order slot.
- 4K textures mean it'll look sharp on modern setups.
⚠️ Cons
- Only one armor set and swords—don't expect a full arsenal.
- 4K textures could hit performance on lower-end rigs.
- No compatibility notes, so it might conflict with other armor mods that edit similar slots.
For Skyrim players who want a dragon-themed armor set without messing with load order. If you're a completionist collecting every armor mod, this is a nice standalone addition. Skip if you're on a potato PC or prefer lower-res textures for performance.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's ESL-flagged, you can place it anywhere in your load order, but putting it near other armor mods is fine.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, just download and install—no manual file placement needed.
- Check your VRAM usage if you're running other 4K texture mods; you might need to adjust texture quality settings.
