📋 About This Mod

This mod is a visual replacer for Madanach, and will eventually include All the NPCs of Druadach Redoubt. For now it is an esp, as I am still adding the rest of the characters. When it is complete, I will upload an additional version in ESL

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

This mod gives Madanach and three named Forsworn at Druadach Redoubt a visual overhaul, with Madanach styled after ancient Picts, and makes them recruitable as followers. It also alters male Orsimer skeletons to make Borkul the Beast larger. A niche but functional mod for Forsworn roleplay playthroughs.

✨ Key Features

Visual replacers for Madanach, Kaie, Borkul the Beast, and Duach
Adds the ability to recruit these named Forsworn as followers
Madanach's look is based on historical Pict peoples
Alters male Orsimer height and girth by using Orc skeletons for Borkul
Planned future updates include Odvan and Urracen

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Ties directly into Alternate Start and Simple Forsworn for a full Forsworn playthrough
  • Small but dedicated following (61 endorsements) and solid download count (13k)
  • Madanach's Pict-inspired design gives him a unique, lore-friendly look

⚠️ Cons

  • The Orsimer skeleton change affects all male Orsimer in the game, not just Borkul, which could cause unexpected visual changes elsewhere
  • Only covers four characters, with two more promised but not yet delivered
  • Last updated in July 2023, so it may not be actively maintained for future Skyrim updates
🎯 Is This For You?
For players who love Forsworn roleplay and want their faction leaders to look more distinctive and be recruitable. If you're not into Forsworn playthroughs or don't use Alternate Start, this mod won't add much to your game.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • If you're using Alternate Start, choose the Forsworn start and be Breton to get the full experience
  • Pair this with Simple Forsworn to make all Forsworn factions friendly after Cidhna Mine
  • Check your load order to ensure this mod loads after any other mods that alter the same NPCs
