📋 About This Mod

A standalone Spellblade companion suitable for your mid/late-game adventures. Julia is a very cautious and extremely skilled Imperial, threading ever so lightly wherever her path might lead her and always seeking to learn ways to improve her arsenal. Her life has never been easy, being sent to Honorhall Orphanage after losing both her parents, and struggling to make any friends. In her teens, Julia ran away from the orphanage and started living in the shadows of Riften, being able to live marginally through stealing from others. One day, she tried to pull one of her tricks on a certain Dark Elf, Karliah, who saw right through her. Karliah ended up presenting Julia to the Thieves Guild, and both ended up becoming very close friends. Some time after, during her adulthood, Julia was invited by Karliah and her lover, Gallus Desidenius, to be the third member of the Nightingales, which she promptly rejected due to the jealousy she felt towards Karliah's relationship. Her place was later filled in by Mercer Frey. After Karliah's exile, Julia was one of the very few members of the Thieves Guild who believed Karliah, if not the only one, and was extremely skeptical of Mercer. She's been able to talk to Karliah once briefly, where she told Julia what had happened and to not try to find her, immediately using one of the Nightingales' blessings to completely disappear. Since then, Julia's been waiting for another chance to talk to her, and help her get her revenge, while holding deep hatred towards Mercer Frey.

If Julia eventually returns to the Thieves Guild while Mercer Frey is still there, she might no be able to control her rage.

Julia is very skilled in combat, making her a great DPS. Her main weapons are the Eclipse, a very powerful weapon forged and enchanted by herself with some help from Balimund and Wylandriah, and a strong destruction spell called the Rosé Thunder Cloak, which she's also developed on her own.

Custom Dagger made by mixing a couple of Nordic Carved assets. Very high speed, with a Soul Trap and Fire Damage enchantment.

Location: In front of Nightingale Hall, The Rift.

  • Location in front of Nightingale Hall is out of the way—you'll need to travel there to recruit her.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since Julia is ESPFE, you can place her mod anywhere in your load order, but keep it above any mods that modify Nightingale Hall to avoid conflicts.
  • If you use a mod manager, let it handle the installation to ensure the high poly assets are placed correctly.
  • Check your VRAM usage if you're on a lower-end system—high poly followers can cause stuttering in dense areas like Riften.
