Sword of the First Ember

Forged from the embers of the first fire the Sword of Ember beckons for a master once again. This Sword once held the fire within but now its gem and blade are dull. Find the Fire Gem and ignite the Sword of Ember to restore it to its original glory. The name of the sword was inspired from the Dark Souls/Bloodborne series. While no direct correlation or usage of my Sword's name is in those games I wanted to make it sound similar. It is in no way meant to be 'lore friendly' but I'll leave it up to you to decide if it fits in the world or not. This is my first mod for Skyrim Special Edition and first mod for Skyrim in general. Ever since I've had the modded Skyrim from years ago I always wanted to get into making weapons for the game but never got around to it. I decided to wait it out until Special Edition was worth playing and so here I am. Any future mods I plan to make will be exclusive to SSE as this is the game I plan to play.

This Sword can be found near one of the Dragon Lairs. If you would rather just see directly where it is located look below to see where it can picked up. The only version of the sword that can be found in the world is a one handed worn version. The one handed and two handed worn versions can be found at vendors too to purchase but don't expect it to be common. All other versions need to be crafted. You can also quickly spawn the sword if you need to by using the console command and typing: "Help Ember 4" (No quotes).

The Sword of Ember comes in 3 states: Worn, New, and Ignited. Each stage when crafted will make it more powerful and deadly. You will need the previous version to be able to craft its next stage (Worn > New > Ignited). Only level 1 smiting is required to have access to them. Each version can be tempered as well so you can increase its damage by a bit more before having to craft the better version of the sword if you prefer to use one over the other.

In its worn state the blade and gem will be dull and not glow. In new state the sword blade will be clean and the gem even in the dark will glow. While restoring the sword to new will not require too many rare resources the task of creating its Ignited state is another story. In Ignited state the Sword of Ember will burn brightly with flames and do ultimate fire damage. To achieve this and craft the Ignited version you will need to find a unique item known as the Fire Gem. Fire Gems have a chance of appearing as a loot drop from Flame Atronachs. While they will not always drop a Fire Gem they have a 50% chance of having one. With a bit of luck you can obtain one of these rare Gems and craft the ultimate Sword of Ember.
