📋 About This Mod
Ky'ren-thia is the first follower I ever made and has gone through MANY changes since her initial release. This version of her is a redo so if you have the earlier version (which is a separate mod) and want to try this version, disable the other one because this new one is basically a new mod entirely.
Compared to the other version, these are the following changes/updates:
She no longer attacks everybody like a cat gone feral -- she's been fixed...er spaded.
She no longer has a campsite near Riverwood but still hangs around, patrolling through the area.
She now comes with a teleport spell tome in her inventory that will teach you a spell that teleports her to your current location.
She now has her own armor, the Ancient DB armor.
* She now levels with you instead of being a static-leveled character.
Some back story...that I made up:
Ky'ren-thia is a female Khajiit who has an unkind past -- she's a highly-trained assassin. At a young age she was adopted by a mysterious group of assassins deep within the Khajiit homeland of Elsweyr, Tamriel. A betrayal of trust ensued that altered her path. Upon betraying her adoptive masters and finding her battered brother -- Lee'Argo, they decided to seek refuge to Skyrim in hopes of starting a new life.
Her daggers are VERY special to her. The blades are named Ky'mei and Ru'thia, and they make a complete set of legendary daggers known as the "Blades of Ky'thia", or in an ancient tongue -- The Blades of "FEAR and DEATH". They are a set of daggers often rewarded to highly elite warriors of shadows and darkness by their elders until a new champion arises. The blades are known for their ability to provoke fear and death amongst the enemies of their wielder -- hence their names. Currently, Ky'ren-thia is their chosen wielder, their champion. Her name was given to her by the elders in honor of these blades.
Could this sound better? Sure, I'm no writer so bare with me :)
Riverwood. During the day she sits on a ledge outside Riverwood and at night patrols around the town. Turn on her tracking marker if you're having trouble locating her.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid follower mod with 248 endorsements and over 5k downloads, so plenty of players have tried her.
- The teleport spell is a huge QoL feature—no more losing your follower in a dungeon.
- She levels with you, so she stays relevant throughout your playthrough.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2018, so it might have compatibility issues with newer Skyrim versions or mods.
- The backstory is 'made up' by the author, so it may not fit perfectly with established lore.
- Potential conflicts with other mods that alter Riverwood or follower behavior.
For Skyrim players who want a unique, lore-friendly assassin follower with a bit of personality. If you're tired of generic followers and want someone who can teleport to you and has custom gear, this is a good pick. Skip if you prefer followers with extensive questlines or romance options.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to disable the older version of this mod before installing this one, as they are separate mods.
- Look for the teleport spell tome in her inventory to summon her anytime.
- If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting issues.
