📋 About This Mod
So here we are again. Initially started out as an effort to cover those in the Northernmost holds that I hadn't yet touched - I then did a spot of feature creep since with a bit of recycling I could also sort the sailors of Windhelm. Thus the title which is not the catchiest on the Nexus I freely admit. Vanilla bodies only for the moment.
CREDITS - There are a lot this time - I borrowed a LOT of things. A massive thank you as always to those listed below (in no particular order):

MANHUNTER69 for the Deathbrand Armor and Weapons Replacer which I did (minor) modification on, redirecting texture paths and tinkering with some meshes.
fadingsignall for a cubemap borrowed from here (which I applied to Manhunter's mesh) Custom Cubemaps (and Metal Tutorial)
xavbio for a lot of textures from: Stalhrim Armors and Weapons Retexture, which I used to apply to Leanwolf and Manhunter69's meshes, Robes Retexture, the mesh for the seadog outfit from Immersive Armors Retexture and Mesh Fixes
Snipey360 and TXTEC for some textures from Divergence - Vanilla and Creation Club - AIO
LeanWolf for the scimitar from LeanWolf's Better-Shaped Weapons SE
NordwarUA for the Fur Collar from Sons of Skyrim
PrincessAries for the white fur collar texture from Nord Steelheart Armor

Please go and check them all out and drop downloads and kudos their way.
My intent here was the same as ever. One guiding theme I wanted for Dawnstar was to have a clear divide between the two mines and their owners. Now those working Ironbreaker mine are dressed in brown and those working Quicksilver mine are dressed in black and white. Gives a bit more flavour to the split I think.
