📋 About This Mod
-Kathryn-
A standalone 2-handed companion suitable for your mid/late-game adventures. Kathryn is an unhesitating Nord, who was called up to train with the Greybeards at a very young age. She was born in Shor's Stone, but ever since she lost her parents and home on the massacre led by the Imperials, she lives with Ulfric Stormcloak as his protegee. Not long after, Ulfric recognized her aptitude with the Thu'um and sent her on a journey to High Hrothgar, to be further tutored. Kathryn is very strong and skilled, making her a great tank. Her main weapon is the Snowdon's Chopper, an ancient weapon she uncovered in a nordic tomb while venturing Solstheim.-Snowdon's Chopper-
Custom Battleaxe made by mixing a couple of weapons from Solstheim. Very high stats, lacking in speed to make up for it.
Location: Palace of the Kings, Windhelm.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 839 endorsements and over 125k downloads
- ESPFE means no load order slot wasted, perfect for mod-heavy setups
- Custom weapon adds a unique touch to the follower
⚠️ Cons
- Only one follower, so if you're looking for a pack this isn't it
- No voiced dialogue or quest content, just a follower with a weapon
- Compatibility risk with mods that alter the Palace of the Kings or Windhelm interiors

💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's ESPFE, you can place it anywhere in your load order, but keeping it near other follower mods is fine.
- If you use a mod manager, just download and activate; no FOMOD or patches needed.
- Check that you don't have another mod editing the Palace of the Kings to avoid conflicts.
