📋 About This Mod

These birds are a preview part of a larger mod that will feature 5 more birds of prey, a unique continent, unique armor and quests to be released later this year.

Triskal was  deep within the Thelbane forest and standing before the oak tree. The trees were thick around him and little light penetrated through the canopy of leaves above.  He sighed and looked around. Before him stood the oak tree, the home of the Rangers and his home since time could remember.  The tree was so much taller than the other forest trees and he marveled at the age, hundreds, no no...maybe thousands or tens of thousands of years old.  The mighty tree stood at the center of the forest and paths ran from it in many directions as far as he could see. This was his guild home known to the Rangers as Giant Oak. He looked up the length of the tree scanning and surveying the many branches and leaves. He could see the Ranger's bird companions, circling, hovering with their fierce calls screeching out.  Suddenly, much to Triskal's surprise four birds of prey broke off from the rest and flew off away from Giant Oak towards the sea.

Many moons later on the continent of Tamriel four unique birds appeared. The locals of Whiterun say these large birds of prey can be seen circling and hovering an ancient long forgotten annex tree of the Ranger Guild just outside the town

    Questions/Answers:

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Where can I find the birds?

    You can find the birds at the Annex Tree (visible on the world map) outside of Whiterun.

    What are the mod dependencies or conflicts?

    The only mod dependencies are base game and DLC.

    What voices do the characters have?

    Bird screech, vulture call and raven caw'ing.

    Will they follow?

    - Birds are not like followers in their behavior and are considered companions.  Birds will accompany you of their own accord. You have to catch them  and get a feather from them and then craft an amulet to have them follow.

    - Allow some time for your bird companion to show up once you put on the amulet.  They will only travel to you if you are outside a certain range.

    - They will not join you in every battle and will often follow from
