📋 About This Mod
Peryite's Pits have always been inaccessible to mortals. Our only real knowledge of them comes from reports of the other diabolical Princes. It is said that Peryite guards the lowest orders of Oblivion and that his summoners are to regard his likeness to Akatosh as some primordial and curious jest.
... And like their Lord of Blight resembles the form of Akatosh, the Fetid Skeleton resembles the remains of those mortally "blessed" by disease. Whether they take this form in cruel mockery, some sick admiration, or otherwise, these walking corpses serve Peryite and His faithful all the same.
These Daedra come in three variants, all of which can be encountered exclusively in Bthardamz. Whenever a puddle of Afflicted sludge is seen decorated with green, gorey bones, a Fetid Skeleton is sure to rise from its depths.
All tiers are armed with Dwarven scrap and gear, not unlike their Prince's own curious possession of the seemingly Dwarven Spellbreaker. All tiers also expel Afflicted vomit in combat. Don't ask where it comes from.
The higher-tier Mage and Warrior variants can be conjured through their respective spells, found on a table in the Bthardamz Study.
Compatibility & Notes:
Safe to install mid-save, although preferably outside of any Bthardamz interiors.
I've tested this alongside Ascension Of The Afflicted, and did not find any major conflicts between either mod.
Works well alongside Undead Summons Emerge From The Ground!
I don't know of any other mods that might affect Bthardamz, so please let me know if you use any or run into any issues :)
Peryite's Fetid Dead adds a conjurable corpse-like Daedra, the Fetid Skeleton, to the ranks of Bthardamz's Afflicted. ESL flagged and safe for both Skyrim Special Edition and Anniversary Edition, this creature mod offers a new summon for players seeking thematic undead minions.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- ESL flagged so it won't eat your load order slots—great for mod hoarders.
- Works on both SE and AE, so no worries if you've upgraded.
- Ties into existing lore with the Afflicted, making it feel like a natural fit.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 171 endorsements, so it's a niche pick—not a community favorite.
- No screenshots or videos in the description, so you're flying blind on visuals.
- Last updated in November 2024—might not be updated for future game patches.
For Skyrim players who want a new conjuration spell with a creepy, lore-friendly twist. If you're into Daedric or Afflicted themes, this is a quick add. Skip if you want a full creature overhaul—this is just one summon.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's ESL flagged, you can drop it into your mod manager without worrying about load order conflicts.
- Make sure you have the Conjuration skill high enough to cast the spell—check your skill level before trying to summon.
- If you're on AE, verify that your game version matches the mod's compatibility—it should work, but always double-check.
