Description:

Firstly I wanted to port Drunkzealot's somewhat historically accurate weapons only. For taking some nice pics I searched for a proper armor and found the amazing Norse Viking Armor II by Croc. I felt these armors fitting perfect the viking shields and axes from Drunkzealot's mod and so came up the idea to combine these two wonderful mods. Besides the six medieval blades you find here a full viking set with armors, weapons and shields. Versions 2. 0 and 3. 0 expanded this mod to a large viking styled mod with a lot of items included.

This pack includes historically accurate and lore friendly armors and weapons. As of version 3. 0 this mod adds 36 new weapons,
