📋 About This Mod
"Grimsever? From what Mjoll tells me, I consider it her long-time companion in the battlefield; from creation to its recent
separation to her. The blade, made of Stalhrim, mysteriously changed its
color over time which can be attributed to the amount of blood being
"fed" to it.
Some say the crest has a striking resemblance to ancient totems crafted by Atmoran shamans in the past which is used to ward off, if not contain, harmful energy.
Mjoll believes that as its tint gets darker, the stronger it becomes. Ever since that weapon
has been into battle, she feels something is at work; as if the sword keeps a portion of its victim's essence, or perhaps a fraction of
their soul, for itself. To what end, you ask? Whatever the reason, I
pray to the gods that it's not something we should ever know."

This mod replaces the model and stats for Grimsever which requires the Dragonborn DLC as it is now a Stalhrim weapon. It adapts some changes in its stats made by USSEP (but is not required to be in your load order) which also turns it into a Greatsword.
Most parts of the weapon model are dependent on your installed textures for
the Silver sword, Steel dagger, Stalhrim axe and the Steel scabbard. For
the in-game screenshots, some parts use the Amidianborn Book of Silence textures.
After completing the quest which requires you to return Grimsever to Mjoll, the unenchanted variant named Grimfrost can be crafted at any normal forge. It comes in 1-handed and 2-handed variants.
Crafting the unenchanted version will also require the Ebony Smithing perk.
