📋 About This Mod
The old Wolf armor model for the companions has been replaced with a new model that I removed from the Sons of Skyrim mod. The mesh and texture of this model have been improved and repainted in the appropriate colors. Thus one of the best armors I was able to make received a neutral status in relation to the civil war. I eventually added new shield models and Skyforge weapons to create a complete set of gear for the Companions guild. Then added an ebonite retexture for armor and weapons. Ebonite weapons and armor can be reforged from steel by adding a few ebonite ingots and gold, of course you need to have the ebonite forging perk.
After that, I looked at the Ysgramor axe and shield model and decided to make new, more interesting models for them that would match the level of epicness of these artifacts. Of course, this entailed the reworking of the flags of the Companions guild, pieces of the Vutrad and other small things related to the lore of this axe.
I didn't edit the lists of Companions npc because it would conflict with all mods of face replaces for those characters.
Also added a separate version of the mod ESP file that adds these models offline without changing in the game.
