Adds Legolas's Mirkwood shortbow from The Hobbit movies to Skyrim SE as a standalone craftable weapon or as a replacer for the Nightingale Bow.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 423 endorsements and over 7,800 downloads.
- ESL-flagged plugin saves load order space for other mods.
- Two-in-one: get a new weapon or a visual replacer for the Nightingale Bow.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in November 2020, so it may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim SE updates.
- The replacer only changes appearance, so if you want a new weapon, you must use the standalone version.
- Requires the Ebony Smithing perk to craft, which might be a hassle for low-level characters.
For Lord of the Rings fans who want Legolas's iconic bow in Skyrim. Also great for players who want a subtle visual upgrade to the Nightingale Bow without changing its stats. Skip if you're looking for a high-damage endgame weapon or if you prefer lore-friendly bows that fit Skyrim's setting.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, just download and install the main file; the ESL flag means it won't take up a regular plugin slot.
- To get the bow early, head to the Weynon Stones (near the Guardian Stones) and check the stone table.
- If you want the Nightingale replacer, install the optional file after the main file; they use unique file names so they won't conflict.
