📋 About This Mod

Statue of Kynareth

After The Battle for Whiterun, the statue of Talos is replaced with Kynareth's Statue.

How it works:

  • []After the Battle for Whiterun (On the Imperial Side), it will trigger the quest stage that will set how long it will take the talos statue to be removed and when the Kynareth Statue will be put up.

    []After the battle, the Talos statue and shrine will be removed in 2 to 5 days (Random) leaving empty space.

    []After the Talos statue is removed, the Kynareth statue and shrine will be put up in 5 to 7 more days.

    []Danica will sandbox in front of the statue after the Talos statue is removed.

    []Danica will spend 6 hours starting at 11am in front of the statue sandboxing during weekdays.

    []Danica has two new lines. One after the Talos statue is removed, and another once the Kynareth statue is put up.

    Requires SPID for the AI Packages to be distributed to Danica.

    NOTE: The quest packages for the Gildergreen quest will take priority unfortunately, so she won't use the new packages until after you tell her you'll get Nettlebane.

    Patch available for Capital Whiterun.

    (Also fixes the thalmor guy from showing up early in the process)

    Should be compatible with any mod that doesn't touch the Talos statue in Whiterun in any significant way.

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

This mod swaps the Statue of Talos in Whiterun for Mandragorasprouts' Kynareth statue after the Battle for Whiterun, and also replaces the shrines. It's a lore-friendly cosmetic change for Skyrim players who want a visual consequence for choosing the Imperials.

✨ Key Features

Replaces the Statue of Talos with Mandragorasprouts' Kynareth statue after the Battle for Whiterun.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Huge community trust with 902 endorsements and 1.2M downloads.
  • Adds a meaningful visual consequence to your Civil War choice.
  • Simple, focused change—does exactly what it says without bloat.

⚠️ Cons

  • Only affects Whiterun—no changes to other cities or Talos statues elsewhere.
  • Requires the Battle for Whiterun to be completed, so no effect if you skip the Civil War questline.
  • No screenshots or detailed install notes in the description, so you're flying blind on visuals.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim players who want their Civil War choices to have visible world impact, especially those siding with the Imperials. If you're a lore enthusiast who likes the idea of Kynareth replacing Talos in a city under Imperial control, this is for you. Skip if you want broader changes or don't care about Whiterun's statue.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure you've completed the Battle for Whiterun before expecting to see the change—the mod triggers after that quest.
  • If you're using a mod manager, just download and activate; no load order tweaks needed for this simple replacer.
  • Check the mod page for any compatibility notes with other Whiterun overhaul mods, though none are listed here.
