Each follower has customized combat, and I took the time to create a new individualized class for each follower. The followers are all named after a latin word, Iridis meaning rainbow, Solis meaning sun, Cael meaning sky, Aura meaning breeze, and Lumen meaning light. Each is fully standalone and marriageable. Cbbe, cbbe-bbp, 7base, 7base-bbp, unp, unpb, unpb-bbp body options are available. User photos are greatly appreciated, as well as endorsements if you enjoy the mod.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 510 endorsements and over 11k downloads.
- Five distinct followers with unique classes and combat styles—more variety than single-follower mods.
- Multiple body type options (CBBE, UNP, 7Base) so you can match your game's body mod.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2020—might have compatibility issues with newer Skyrim SE updates or other mods.
- Requires Skyrim version 1.9.32.0.8 or higher, which is the old Special Edition version; may not work on the latest patch without tweaks.
- No mention of compatibility with popular mods like USSEP or AI overhaul, so you might run into conflicts.
For Skyrim players who want a ready-made group of followers with distinct roles and personalities, especially if you're into roleplaying or need a balanced party. If you prefer followers with deep quests or extensive dialogue, this mod is purely cosmetic and combat-focused, so skip it.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure your Skyrim SE is updated to at least version 1.9.32.0.8, but note that the mod hasn't been updated since 2020, so it might not work with the latest patches—consider using a mod manager to easily disable if issues arise.
- If you use a body mod like CBBE or UNP, pick the matching body option during install to avoid visual glitches.
- The followers are in the College of Winterhold's Hall of the Elements—head there early if you want a magic-heavy companion.
