There Is No Umbra - Chapter II (now deprecated -get Chapter III instead)

Includes Chapter I. Continue Daumbra's story, and obtain new gameplay mechanics (sword throwing, sword riding, mind control, etc) through an epic quest professionally voiced by Kerstyn Unger (you've heard her as Serana) and Shawn L. Koch. This is much larger than Chapter I and has many possible endings -your choices really do matter.

Honored to have won Mod of the Month for April 2021!

(Now backported to Skyrim LE courtesy of Doctor Shekel. 

Also available in French, Chinese (2), Japanese, Portuguese, Spanish, Korean and Russian)

SUMMARY

This is not a short story - even though it's just three quests, I estimate the total playtime is roughly equivalent to a small vanilla questline (think Companions). But the story is focused entirely on Daumbra: the newest incarnation of the cursed sword Umbra, whom you may have heard of. She can be your follower, but she can also be your weapon, and there are several mechanics which I think are somewhat new to Skyrim modding, such as riding on her like a hoverboard, or throwing her like a javelin (and then she fights the baddies at the spot where she landed), mind-control, and so on.

I was lucky to have the voice-acting talent of Kerstyn Unger (whom you most likely have heard as the voice of Serana, or in other great mods) and Shawn L. Koch -his impression of Clavicus Vile was chefs's kiss, and his other character, I guarantee you, you will either love or hate, with a passion.

The mechanics all have custom animations by Netwalker123 and tkuku -everything is really smooth (and I got inspired in the first place by his work).

Everything is lore-friendly.

NEW MECHANICS

By the end of Quest 1:

• []Summoning her to your side: Simply use the summon spell.

  By the end of Quest 2:

  • []Wielding her as a long-range sword: Try the standing attacks for extra range.

    []Riding on her at high speed like a hoverboard (she rides on water, too): Simply sprint while wielding her.

    []Summoning her directly to your hand to wield her: Simply use the summon spell with one hand free.

    At the start of Quest 3:

    [*]Throwing her like a javelin: Hold the "Activate" key for a second, while wielding her, then release. Combining this wit
