📋 About This Mod

This mod has been updated & incorporated into Fabulous Followers, which you can find HERE.

A total rework for the visuals & skills of several followers with an immersive, lore-friendly approach. All of the affected NPCs have been given the ability to level alongside the player up to level 50 & some have been given new combat perks so they can carry their own weight against whatever threats the Dragonborn may face.

This mod overhauls the following Mer:


Aranea Ienith  ~  Athis  ~  Beleval  ~  Brelyna Maryon

Erandur  ~  Faendal  ~  Jenassa

Ralis Sedarys  ~  Talvas Fathryon  ~  Teldryn Sero

My goal was to visually enhance each follower in a way that wouldn't look too out of place in the vanilla game, but still be unique & reflective of their personality/background. This also extends to combat, with several characters gaining access to useful perks, spells, etc. To see a more in-depth list of changes for each follower, click the spoiler tag below.

-- ARANEA IENITH --

Perks Added: Light Foot

Level Cap: Raised from 30 to 50

New Outfit: Temple Priest Robes & Boots

NOTES: The default hooded robes just didn't do her justice. It's a simple yet lore-friendly change that I feel is fit for the Priestess of Azura.

-- ATHIS --

Perks Added: Light Foot, Bladesman (Tier 1), Shield Wall (Tier 2), Agile Defender (Tier 2)

Level Cap: Raised from 25 to 50

NOTES: Athis is the self-proclaimed future leader of the Companions, but his combat skills were disappointing at best. I've given him a few perks to help round out his lackluster kit along with a new look inspired by the Ashlanders.

-- BELEVAL --

Perks Added: Light Foot, Overdraw (Tier 1), Hack & Slash (Tier 1), Agile Defender (Tier 2)

Level Cap: Raised from 25 to 50

New Class: Ranger (Archery, One-Handed, Block, Light Armor, Sneak)

New Outfit: Dawnguard Light Armor

NOTES: Beleval is the only female Bosmer that can follow you in the base game, but her Bandit class & max level of 25 were very underwhelming. I've made her into a Ranger & swapped out her default heavy armor for a light set instead.
