✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 479 endorsements and nearly 14k downloads.
- The sword is a faithful fantasy design that fits Skyrim's aesthetic.
- Simple to get: either find it in a cool location or craft it with the Elven perk.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2020, so it might not be fully compatible with the latest Skyrim updates or mods.
- Only adds one weapon, so if you want a full weapon pack, this won't satisfy.
- No known conflicts, but as an older mod, it could clash with mods that alter the College of Winterhold area.
For Lord of the Rings fans who want a piece of Middle-earth in Skyrim, especially those who enjoy collecting unique weapons. Also for players who like crafting their gear and want a new Elven-style sword. Skip if you're looking for a full weapon overhaul or gameplay changes—this is purely a single weapon addition.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager, install it with that—it's the easiest way to keep track of the plugin.
- The sword is in the midden under the College of Winterhold, so you'll need to progress through the College questline or use console commands to get there early.
- Make sure the mod is checked in your plugin list before launching the game, or the sword won't appear.
