📋 About This Mod
The first incision was painful, though of course I knew that going in. Although I had chewed on some bittergreen petals beforehand to dull the senses, they were not so potent as to completely desensitize myself to the sensation of a sharpened chitin knife scraping away the uppermost layers of flesh. The pain I bore as the artist made incision after incision into my belly, all the while she dabbed the blood with a wet cloth, which was a deep sanguine by the end of the procedure. In order for the scar to be clearly visible, I was told to ensure that the wound was kept open in the following days, which I did through the regular application of a caustic gel derived from a scrib and of course I regularly cleaned out the wound to ensure that it would not fester. For my pain I was rewarded with an indelible mark on my body demonstrating my dedication to the Three.
Scarified Dunmer - SSE Edition
LE Version Here
Scarified Dunmer is a full port and overhaul of Plangkye's original Scarified Dark Elves. The mod adds a number of complexion options to your character customisation that closely resemble the ritual scarification techniques of the Dunmer in as seen in TES III: Morrowind. There are 3 different scarification patterns for each gender, but the total number of options is much higher.
