Continue the legend of Umbra -now as a living, floating sword that will follow you in your travels and fight for you using custom animations. Includes two quests with good and bad endings, professionally voice-acted, and well-integrated with the lore. See the trailer!

The sword has her own follower system with features to wait, dismiss, patrol, relax and do favors, as well a lot of voice-acted commentary for various situations. It's a joy to see her fight for you with her custom animations, and I based her story on official lore as much as possible, including, loosely, some of the events in the "The Infernal City" novel. I'm intrigued by the philosophical dilemma of a living sword that committed all kinds of atrocities in the past, but has now been re-forged. Should it still pay for its past sins even if she has no memory of them?

There are multiple endings depending on what is your answer to that question, and you will have opportunities through both quests to make your decision one way or the other. All the lore you need to know is already included in various materials within the mod, but you can always get a refresher.

The sequel is done. Here's the trailer for the sequel:

Compatibility

Compatible with everything as far as I can tell, including mods such as:

• []Followers as Companions II -so that she will hover by your side instead of behind you

  []My Home is Your Home -so that you can assign her a permanent dwelling place eventually

  []Amazing Follower Tweaks -in the sense that AFT ignores her and she ignores AFT, which is the way things should be for her

  []Likely every other Follower framework out there, too -they should all ignore her and she should ignore them all

  There are a few things that can be patched, for example: since I edited the text of a vanilla book slightly, then Book Covers lost its change for just that one unique book. I expect little patches like this will be coming in over time (hopefully as ESL to save people a slot in their load order).

  Other examples include vanilla cells which are frequently edited by all the popular light, shadows, or even music mods -the changes are so tiny and/or are done in cells so rarely-ever visited that I really do
