📋 About This Mod

Added to the Draugr level lists are humanoid NPCs that integrate and blend seamlessly with the original draugs, and being humanoid they can use your NPC movesets.

The Barrow Guardians

In life, the Barrow Guardians were the elite among the elite—the finest warriors of their Nordic clans, chosen to protect their chieftains, sacred relics, and ancestral tombs.

When their clans passed into legend, these warriors were buried alongside the dead they had sworn to protect. Yet their duty did not end with death. Ancient rites bound them to the barrows, preserving their bodies and awakening them whenever the resting places of their ancestors were threatened.

Unlike the more decayed Draugr that now wander Skyrim's ancient tombs, the Barrow Guardians remain remarkably well preserved. Their strength, discipline, and purpose survived the ages.

They are no longer warriors of a living clan.

They are the eternal guardians of the dead.

Humanoid Draugr-themed PCs integrated into the Draug level lists, can use shouts, and will use the humanoid moveset.

I modified "Draugr Equip Armor" to be just an armor mod, it doesn't affect any more level lists or NPCs
