SUMMARY
This is not a short story: 11 Quests, around 5 thousand lines of fully-voiced dialogue, new locations, mechanics, animations -it took two years and a small army of amazingly talented people like Kerstyn Unger, Skeever, Caleb Hackler, Venjhammet, and many others contributing directly, while Mihail, Praedyth, T Kuku and many others kindly allowed me to reuse their work.
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 comes with several mechanics which I think are somewhat novel -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 lands), mind-control, teleportation, telekinetically using the enemies' own weapons against them, and so on.
But the focus, at least for me, is the story. I believe the more real choices we get to make in a story, the more we care for it. And by that standard... yeah, you're probably going to care a lot. There are many big choices in this mod, and many endings to make them matter. No two people will experience this story in the exact same way.
Everything is lore-friendly.

- Since it includes Chapters I and II, make sure you have a save that hasn't progressed past the starting point of the questline to avoid conflicts.
