Finding Velehk Sain

This mod is inspired by and done with the blessings of Sirandar, the author of The Missing Apprentices Quest Fix (MAQF).

In the second era, the dremora pirate captain Velehk Sain terrorized the Abecean Sea.  In the Midden Dark there sits a strange black gauntlet, its purpose forgotten in time.  Early in the fourth era, four students of the College of Winterhold die under mysterious circumstances, the only clue being four strange rings being worn by that black gauntlet.  Now, merely a month ago, four more of Winterhold's students have gone missing, and unbeknownst to the college faculty, those four rings along with them.

• []1. 0. 2:  This version contains no changes to the mod itself, but now offers an ESP-FE version so that the mod won't count towards your mod load order limit.  Please be advised that the ESP-FE version is not compatible with save games in progress from the original ESP mod.  You will either need an earlier save game, or to save it for your next playthrough.  This update now also includes an FOMOD installer which allows you to select from either standalone or complete versions while installing.

  The Missing Apprentices Quest Fix mod ties the mystery of the four missing apprentices, restored to the game by Cutting Room Floor, to the black gauntlet in the midden, which binds the dremora Velehk Sain to Mundus.  I take those changes a step further by moving each of the four rings, previous held in a chest inside the Arcanaeum, to the site of each student's death, requiring that you collect them one by one before you are able to confront Velehk Sain.  However, things are not quite finished once you do.

  Two versions of this mod are offered.  The first, the complete version, requires MAQF, and by proxy Cutting Room Floor (CRF).  The second is a standalone version which contains only my changes and additions.  If you cho
