Smite the Wicked - Eola's Namira Cult

DescriptionThis mod causes Eola to drop her journal on death which contains the names of the other Namira cult members: Lisbet, Banning, Hogni Red-Arm, Sanyon, and Nimphaneth. You have the option to take her journal to the Markarth guards, or simply drop or sell it to 'fail' the quest. If you drop or sell it, you can simply grab it to have the option of taking it to the Markarth guards again. If you take the journal to the guards, Lisbet, Banning, and Hogni Red-Arm will become hostile!

Reachcliff Cave will also have its entrances unblocked so you can reach the end of the dungeon and use the side entrance.

Furthermore, turning in the journal will cause Sanyon and Nimphaneth to spawn inside Reachcliff Cave so you can finish the remaining cult members.

To gain Namira's Ring you must travel into Reachcliff Cave and defeat Eola's spirit. If you've progressed the quest in such a way that you've already gained the ring, Eola's spirit will not drop it. Finally, if you've already killed Sanyon or Nimphaneth, their spirits will also join Eola's against you.

Cedran now also has the ability to sell the dog, Vigilance, to you either alongside Banning or after Banning has died.

It seems like the guards dealing with some of the Forsworn and Cidna mines related events, such as Weylin's attack, will be too busy to bother with the journal. You'll need to find another guard that isn't preoccupied!

I never liked how the daedric quest 'A Taste of Death' was handled, and my dislike is further improved because I need the ring or its replica for Legacy of the Dragonborn!

There's already existing Legacy of the Dragonborn support for the mod Namira for Good Guys; however, you will still have no way of acquiring the ring if you decide to kill Eola immediately upon meeting her.

Compatibility

Should be compatible with most existing mods since the primary quest 'The Taste of Death' was not modified.

Seems to be compatible with Interesting NPCs as well without requiring a patch. When I checked in on Lisbet, Slyphiron from Interesting NPCs also decided to attack me.

CreditsI removed some unintended edits, generated the SEQ file, pulled the file version back to 1. 7, and added the ESL flag to make it an ESPFE using SSEEdit. Check it out at:
