📋 About This Mod

Crafted by a Tsaesci bladesmiths in service to the Reman Dynasty from the bones of a posessed Tsaesci warrior who was slain by the Dragonguard.

Eyes glowing red with trails of red magic, draining the life from her own troops with each strike, Dark spikes erupting from the deck of the ship pinning her victims in place preventing any escape, and a seeming possession of an unknown entity controlling her. Dark whispers echoing in the back of the heads of the survivors, one word repeated over and over "Doom".

Taking the combined efforts of several Dragonguard stationed nearby, costing the lives of four she was finally put down, her warblade shattered, and with an unnatural scream whatever entity was posessing her dissapated.

Later on her remains and the shards of her broken warblade were reforged into a cursed blade "Spinesplitter" to contain the remnants of the spirit that had possessed her in her final moments of life. And for years after the fall of the reman dynasty it would be passed from Dragonguard successor to Dragonguard successor.

Last seen being carried away by a rotting dragon who disappeared through an oblivion portal.

And now it awaits for a wielder, will it be you?

Inspired by several DOOM (NOT THE SHOOTER GAME) weapons from Dragonfable and Adventure Quest Worlds, A series of cursed weapons made by weapons being inhabited by a specific subset of Darkness Elementals called Doom Spirits. Often appearing to be made of darkened bones, and tarnished metal the color of dried blood teeming with a feint red glow of its intense magics.

The Spirits/elementals inhabiting the weapons often end up wielding the weapon's user, rather than the other way around.

Now with a new addon with an AQW Undead Legion Variant.

Location: At the back section of the Boneyard in the Soulcairn, (the area past Serana's Mom), Up the stairs, at the back, between some pillars.

ADDON: Underworld variant located in Whiterun Hall of the Dead catacombs.

Requirements: None technically, But for unique katana animations requires a Keyword framework like KCF or OCF, and Katana animations of your choice.

Crafting: Can be swapped between 1 and 2 handed versions no requirements, But to temper the weapons requires 1 ebony ingot and daedric smithing perk.

Balance: Unenchanted and slightly weaker, but lighter and faster than the Daedric Sword and Greatsword.

Credits: Not a direct copy of any spesific designs, but took inspiration from the designs of various DOOM weapons from Dragonfable and other Artix Entertainment games. Software Used: Blender, Substance Painter, Outfit Studio, Nifskope, Cathedral Asset Optimizer, Zbrush and a few other things I think.

Note: Have not slept, was about to sleep but then got the sudden urge to make this weapon, I haven't slept at all since b
