📋 About This Mod

This is a redesign of Ciri's sword based on the description from the books, making the metal a blackish colour to signify that it has been made of dark iron and adding an engraving at the base of the blade. The leather on the handle has also been retextured to look like shagreen. I also changed the scabbard to a black colour as I thought it was more fitting.

Installation:

Unzip the file in your "Mods" folder, if one doesn't exist create it, found in your Witcher 3 main game directory.

Justification:

Taken from the wiki:

In late 1267, Leo Bonhart takes his prisoner Ciri (using the alias Falka) to the swordsmith Esterhazy to give her a sword to fight with in the Claremont arena. Esterhazy reveals an expensive gwyhyr he had in storage and gives it to Ciri as a gift, who thus names it Zireael.

A gwyhyr is a splendid gnomish sword, regarded as the best in the world. The gnomes had ceased production of these weapons more than two hundred years before the events of the saga. Gwyhyrs were forged with "dark iron" which made the blades light and sharp as a razor. They were also characterized by their undulating edge and ray shagreen covered hilts.
