- Huge community trust with 19,168 endorsements and 1.7 million downloads

- Craft the standard versions at any forge under the appropriate category (Daedric or Ebony, depending on the mod's integration).
- For the legendary versions, you'll need to progress through the main Dawnguard questline until after confronting Harkon, then explore Volkihar Cathedral thoroughly.
