| Lore and Introduction |
"This mod adds a race of deer people. They are the Driinkiin, or the Deerborn. They are great hunters.
The story holds that there was a village, named Fawnyge. This village was home to hunters, in fact, the best hunters of all Keizaal (Skyrim). They hunted all kinds of game, mostly deer. They lived a good life, until they hunted in the wrong part of the woods and came across Orphan Rock. The Hagravens saw the Hunters in the area. The Hagravens captured every last one of them. The Hagravens cursed them to take the form of 'That Which They Hunted Most' (Deer), As followers of Hircine, they prayed for salvation. Hircine agreed, but in exchange, the hunters became 'The Huntsmen', when the Blood-moon Rises. From then on, they stayed in their village, and were not heard from again u
An SSE port and remaster of the Driinkiin Deer Race from Skyrim Legendary Edition, originally by tcain99. This conversion includes playability improvements, Bodyslide support, and CBBE/UNP/SOS male body texture reworks, making the deer race fully compatible with modern Skyrim Special Edition setups.
