📋 About This Mod
A Thalmor overhaul wich makes some of the named Thalmor in game more unique. The mod is flagged as ESL and won't take a spot in your load order. The NPC's will use whatever skin textures you are using, therefore their look may vary from mine.
This mod overhauls:
- Elenwen: Made her to look like more of a dominatrix.
- Rulindil: Made him to fit his role more as a inquisitor and I gave him unique glasses.
- Estormo: Made him to fit his character as a lightning-based mage, looks younger than Ancano.
- Agent Lorcalin: Made him more masculine but still in Altmer standards.
- Ancarion: Made him more handsome and gave him unique earrings and blue eyes to fit his Stalhrim obsession.
If you also want to replace Ancano and Ondolemar have a look at my Ancano/Ondolemar Reborn mods.
Compatibility:
- Not compatible with mods that alter these NPC's meshes, conflicts results in dark face bug.
Installation:
- Install with a modmanager or drag and drop the files into the data folder.
FAQ:
- Skin? I use BnP skin for both male and female.
- ENB? PI-CHO ENB.

⚠️ Cons
