📋 About This Mod

Update V2:  This update has taken a long time due to other priorities, but I think it's at a good enough point to be released. It isn't perfect, but it's the best I was able to do after months of frustration.

  • []Two Ordinator guards patrol the exterior of the temple in Raven Rock, while a third patrols the interior. They will go to their rooms to sleep occasionally, and if they engage in combat and survive, they will return to their posts. If they die, they respawn at the same rate that Redoran guards respawn.

    []If you commit a crime near the Ordinators, they will try to arrest you like normal guards. They are also equipped with fireball and self-healing spells in addition to their swords.

    []The Ordinator armor now supports Skyrim's weight slider (vanilla proportions), so the armor will match your character's proportions and there won't be any more neck, hand, or feet seams. The armor also has unique ground/inventory meshes, so dropped pieces will now look like the actual armor they're supposed to be.

    []There is now a robed variant of the Ordinator armor, which is a combination of the original Ordinator armor and the New Temple priest robes from the Dragonborn DLC. There are some clipping/weighting issues on this armor that I've tried to fix over and over, but I just can't do it. If anyone more skilled in weight painting for Skyrim is interested in fixing the issues with this armor, you're welcome to do so. I'll add the fixed meshes to the mod and credit you.

    The textures for the robes are different in vanilla. If you want the exact textures in the screenshots, install Rustic Clothing. It looks good either way, though.[]There are now multiple ways to obtain the armor and weapons:

  • []Kill the Ordinators and loot their corpses.

    []Break into the Ordinators' rooms and steal their things.

    []Speak to Elder Othreloth in the temple and complete his quest to kill the ashspawn in the temple. He will reward you with a book that teaches you how to craft the armor (on top of giving you gold). Crafting the armor and weapons also requires the Advanced Armors perk. The armor and weapons can be improved without having read the crafting manual, however.

    []An alternative version of the mod without guards or cell edits. The armor must be crafted by first obtaining the quest from Elder Othreloth.

    []I also bumped up the contrast on the armor and made it shinier.

This will probably be the last update to the mod besides minor fixes. Thank you everyone who supported this mod and offered ideas for improvements!

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Solid community backing with 306 endorsements and over 11k downloads.
  • Adds real gameplay depth with patrols, arrests, and a quest reward, not just static NPCs.
  • Fixes armor seams and adds weight slider support, a big visual upgrade for female characters.

⚠️ Cons

  • Robed variant has persistent clipping/weighting issues the author couldn't fix.
  • Last updated in 2021, so may have compatibility issues with newer Skyrim versions or mods.
  • Only three guards added, so impact is limited to Raven Rock temple area.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim players who want more Ordinator presence in Raven Rock and a better-looking female Ordinator armor. Also for those who enjoy light quest content tied to the temple. Skip if you're not interested in Solstheim or prefer gameplay overhauls over cosmetic additions.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • If you want the exact robe textures from the screenshots, install Rustic Clothing as the author recommends.
  • The Ordinators respawn like Redoran guards, so you can farm their armor if you're not on the quest path.
  • Check your load order to ensure this mod doesn't conflict with other Solstheim overhauls that modify the temple.
