📋 About This Mod

"Siege at Icemoth" is an excellent new land mod that was recently released. It includes a new Black Book. Which like the Black Books added by the original Dragoborn DLC. Lets you pick between one of three potential rewards upon completing it. Two of the rewards offered are spells (technically greater powers) that were cut from the original Dragonborn DLC. However if there is a good chance you already have a mod that restores them such as "Cutting Room Floor." This mod adds two alternate rewards to avoid duplicates. The third potential reward "Omen of Gluttony" as is already unique and interesting. So I didn't touch it.

The Alternate rewards:

Option one: "Secrets of the Hunting Grounds"

While in Beast form your power attacks do 10% more damage. And rings blessed by Hircine increase your health by 25 in addition to their other effects while transformed.

(To elaborate on how this works: The Dragonborn DLC adds four new rings that grant a passive ability while in Beast form if you were wearing them when you transformed. Such as "Ring of the Moon." So if you have this ability "Ring of the Moon" and the other three rings will also grant a small health boost in addition to the original effect if they're equipped when you transform.)

Option Two: "Secrets of Coldharbor"

While in Vampire Lord form you move 10% faster and your health is increased by 40

What if my character isn't a werewolf or Vampire lord? Will there be no useful reward?

Nope! There is a third option from the original mod. Left untouched called "Omen of Gluttony" that should be useful for all characters.

I've never even tried the Dragonborn DLC! And Never will! Despite paying for it with my own money and playing Skyrim for 10+ years! What the hell is a Black Book?

I'll never understand why this is so common..... But play the original mod and find out. Or god forbid try the Dragonborn DLC. Which most Skyrim players refuse to do for some reason.
