📋 About This Mod
The Sovngarde Steel Armor
released for Skyrim by the incredible Lustrianna back in May 2012.
Still an awesome armor (and sword) set and also one of the most popular.
The mod was ported to SSE in December 2020 here.
The port was not very good and did not do the original mod any justice.
So September 2022, this is my improved version finally released after keeping it on my harddrive and using it in my own playthroughs for months.
Enjoy and all credits go to Sayuri.
Everything is Craftable under the "Steel" section of the forge once you have "Steel Smithing" perk unlocked.
