📋 About This Mod
Record 2R22: Dragons have returned to Skyrim, and chaos has enveloped the land. Civil wars, political corruption, and dreadful monsters plague this nation, and sentiments such as hope, love, and happiness are fading. However, in this darkness, a hero arises, and with the might of a dragon and a will, unbroken and unbound, fights to preserve the future of Skyrim. But who will keep the hero’s story preserved?

Who is Recorder?
A student from a mysterious academy, Recorder has been sent to Skyrim to record the Dragonborn’s adventures. She awaits in Riverwood, inside the Sleeping Giant Inn. She’s quirky, has an interesting sense of curiosity about Skryim and the Dragonborn, and all in all, a fun companion! When it comes to combat, she has a strange affinity for fighting and seeing blood causes a tic in her to go (slightly) insane. But don’t worry, she won’t turn that psychotic-ness against the Dragonborn…hopefully.Special thanks to harushiara (dcdarkbladeron deviantart) for these adorable amazing drawings!

💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's standalone, you can install it manually by dropping the files into your Data folder, but using a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 makes uninstalling cleaner.
- If you're on Skyrim Special Edition, check if the mod has a separate version or if you need to convert it, as the original was made for Oldrim.
- Recorder is a follower, so you'll find her in a specific location—check the mod's description or comments for where to recruit her.
