📋 About This Mod
Tower of Stendarr
To improve my modeling and texturing skills I took a break from my doors (Glorious Solitude Door SE, Glorious Solitude Door Replacer SE) and switched to something completely different - a shield. Thanks to Jonas Ronnegard for his amazing reference and Tynot for the idea for the name of the shield.
The model was created from scratch in Blender and textured in Substance Painter.
The ESP is flagged as ESL and won't take up a slot in your plugin list.
One important thing first: This is the first time I made an item craftable in the CK, so please test it first before you keep using it.
The shield is available in both categories - light and heavy, and can be crafted and tempered at any forge with the Ebony perk.
The heavy version model is bigger than the light version.
Stat-wise the light version is between Glass and Dragonscale, the heavy version between Dragonplate and Daedric.
You can choose between 4k and 2k textures and a regular or a 20% larger variant within a Fomod Installer.
Please let me know in case anything does not work as expected :-)

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community support with 815 endorsements and over 63k downloads
- Gives you a fresh shield option that fits both light and heavy armor builds
- Handcrafted model and textures mean it stands out from vanilla shields
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2019, so it might not be fully compatible with the latest Skyrim versions or mods
- Only adds a single shield, so if you're looking for a full armor pack, this won't cover it
- No mention of patches for popular mods like Ordinator or Smithing Perks Overhaul, so you might need to tweak things
For Skyrim players who want a unique, handcrafted tower shield to round out their warrior or paladin look. It's perfect for those who enjoy crafting their own gear and want something different from the vanilla options. Skip if you're after a full armor set or gameplay overhauls—this is purely a cosmetic addition.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a craftable shield, you'll need to find it in the crafting menu under the appropriate category—check the smithing section for both light and heavy variants.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, just drag and drop the file; it's a simple ESP, so load order shouldn't be an issue.
- Make sure you have the required smithing perks to craft it, or use the console to add it if you just want to test it out.
