New Armory Series - Lunar Steel Weapons -- A Silent Moons Camp Overhaul

“The Scourge of Whiterun" is a famous horror story told throughout the Whiterun hold. It is a tale passed on by generations and while

much of it may be embellished, it still has remained one of the most renowned folklore tales of the region. One that has exhilarated and

horrified people for many, many years.

Just north of Whiterun, you will find the Silent Moons Camp. At first, it seems just like any other bandit-filled dungeon, until you encounter the named Lunar Forge on top of the hill and the enchanted weapons, called Lunar weapons. There really isn’t anything more to it than that. The Lunar weapons are just common iron and steel weapons with a unique enchantment, and the named forge doesn’t actually provide any benefits. It’s almost like a piece of lore was cut from this area.

I started designing a bunch of visually new Lunar  weapons as part of a new Heavy Armory update. But I realised quickly that I couldn't just give the weapons a new character without also creating the rest of the story.

Next, I started writing some new lore, continued on from that by editing the Silent Moons Camp location, and next thing I knew, this small update had become its own full mod.

Lunar Armory adds new models for the Lunar Weapons, changes their enchantment, changes the Lunar Forge and the entire Silent Moons location, adds lore to the area and extends the dungeon with a new (hidden) section.

New weapons

The vanilla Lunar weapons were identical to standard iron and steel.

I redid the design for Lunar Amory to make the weapons now look ancient and more vicious, like they were forged by an ancient evil long ago.

In vanilla, you could find a war axe, sword and mace in both enchanted iron and steel. I ditched the iron versions altogether and extended the range to also include a dagger, greatsword, warhammer and battle axe. You can find these in normal Lunar steel or Honed Lunar steel!

Lunar steel weapons will be around the Orcish tier. Honed Lunar steel is closer to Elven.

My mod is designed to be used alongside Heavy Armory and/or Animated Armoury, but it doesn't require them. You can use this mod stand-alone or alongside any weapon pack of your choice.

Note that this mod does not add new animations, and new weapon types will make use of whatever animation mod you have installed (as long as they are [
