Keeper Carcette Survives SSE by Ruhadre
Ruhadre is pronounced (Ru-ha-dri)
I want to say thank you to all those that have supported, endorsed, encouraged, and assisted my work. You all are why I mod :)
Don't forget to give kudos and endorsements to your mod authors and their mods!
Please enjoy my mod! This is my first mod for SSE.
160 endorsements and rising, heh. Make sure to tell your friends!
IMPORTANT : This mod will be overhauled shortly to work with Stendarr's Beacon Enhanced SSE
Short Description: Ever wonder whatever happened to Keeper Carcette after the attack on the Hall of the Vigilant?
This mod helps provide an explanation as to what happened and helps to make Stendarr's Beacon more aesthetic, functional, and immersive.
Lastly, this also adds vigilants to all major cities. It makes the Vigilants of Stendarr appear to be "getting their act together" after the attack, trying to turn Stendarr's Beacon into a new headquarters, and to make their presence felt across Skyrim.

Why download this mod?
- Keeper Carcette is now alive and well after the attack, stationed at Stendarr's Beacon. She is a fully functioning expert restoration trainer now.
(Vanilla Carcette has bugged training.)
- Stendarr's Beacon was given a nice makeover. Added decorations, furniture, crafting stations, idle markers, and more npcs.
- Vigilant of Stendarr Quartermaster is a merchant npc at Stendarr's Beacon, who sells a variety of things to the wanna-be Vigilants out there.
- Stendarr's Little Helper is an armored husky the vigilants have taken in. He loves to lay on the fur inside the beacon during the day :)
(Yes, his name is a Simpsons reference, lol)
- During the night; Carcette, her dark elf bodyguard, and Stendarr's Little Helper will patrol the route between Stendarr's Beacon and the entrance to Dayspring Canyon. This gives the impression that the Vigilants are now supporting the Dawnguard, and aggressively guarding the route to the Beacon.
- You will find a single Vigilant of Stendarr in every major city now.
By day, they travel to taverns and shops, and by night, they keep watch over the city for suspicious activity. They are the eyes and ears of Carcette.
They try to act natural, as to make city guards not overly aware of their presence. However, they also fully function as city guards too.
Explanation - Mods that add guards in the form of dawnguard, tend to do so as if dawnguard were actual city guards. I doubt the jarl would grant jurisdiction to the dawnguard, or anybody other than his guards for tha
