📋 About This Mod
"I'd had Eorlund forge this for Thorald. It was to be a present for his return. I suppose he can't have it now." -- Fralia Gray-Mane
After completing Missing In Action, Fralia will reward you with one of 21 random enchanted steel weapons that she claims Eorlund made for Thorald's return. Why would Eorlund make a regular steel weapon instead of Skyforge steel for his own son? Fralia has a Skyforge steel dagger. Avulstein, his other son, wields a Skyforge steel battleaxe. Why not Thorald? It just didn't really make sense to me.
This simple patch will add enchanted Skyforge steel equivalents of all 21 of the potential reward weapons and swap out the steel in the reward list with said Skyforge steel equivalents.
Flagged as ESL.
Appropriate USSEP fixes have been carried forward.
A version for use with Skyforge Steel - Art and Honor is also available.
This small immersion mod changes the reward weapon from the Missing In Action quest to Skyforge steel, matching its lore as a gift from Eorlund Gray-Mane. It's a simple, lightweight fix for players who care about consistency. With 293 endorsements and recent updates, it's a niche but appreciated tweak.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Tiny mod that does exactly what it says—no bloat, just a lore fix.
- Community-approved with 293 endorsements, so it's tested and liked.
- Recent update (April 2024) means it's still maintained.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects one weapon, so it's a very narrow change.
- If you use other mods that alter the same reward, you might get conflicts.
- No compatibility patches for popular quest overhaul mods, so test with your load order.
For Skyrim players who care about lore consistency and want that reward to feel special. If you're a completionist or roleplayer, this is a nice touch. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes—this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Place the mod in your load order after any mods that change the same quest or weapon.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to avoid overwriting issues.
- If you're on Special Edition, make sure you grab the correct version for your game.
