📋 About This Mod
For a few years now, I've wanted my Skyrim character to have her own armor and weapon specifically tailored to her. While it's true there's lots of great armor sets around the modding scene, none of them fit what I wanted at 100%.
Fara Elmlock, my Dragonborn, needed something that looks both like a practical adventurer's armor, fitting of a spellsword who studied in the College of Winterhold, while feeling just fancy enough to wear it in an audience with the jarl. It must exude confidence and elegance without overstating its presence, so muted colors with splashes of vibrancy, along with a few ebony-moonstone alloy plates, should do the trick.
After seeing many quality work coming out of them, I approached Kreiste with this concept. I can't stress enough how glad and happy I am that we got to work together and bring this project to you all. I hope you like it!
Kreiste, I don't know if you're going to read this, but once more I'd like to thank you from the bottom of my heart to bring this brainworm of mine into Skyrim! Much love and appreciation<3
Of course I do. Thank u too xoxo -K
