| Introduction: |
| This mod is aimed more towards the people who like more 'practical' swords, almost realistic. While those swords are still considered 'fantasy' they look and feel as if they could have existed in that way. Some are inspired by LotR (obviously), some by living and dead sword smiths from all over the world. As of now all seven bastard swords can be found in Cyrodiil in addition to the replicas that can still be bought at the Slash'n Smash in the Imperial City.
|
|
| What this mod does: |
| Adds new more historical oriented weaponry. Replicas - which are only for those who want to take a look at them or place them in their house - are available at the 'Slash'n Smash' in the Imperial City market district (subject to change). Non-Replica version are scattered across all over Tamriel, each one only once so every piece is unique. You can buy a rare and very expensive book in the book shop in the Imperial Market district (or steal it for free if you dare). This book contains hints on where to find those weapons. Some may be a bit tricky to find (i.e. not lying on the ground) and some you will have to fight for... I will give no more hints! If you're looking for locations and spoilers, ask fellow players, not me ;)

| What's new in this version: |
0.52:
- Finally fixed 'Despair' (Thanks to miketee721 who pointed out my stupidity ;))... don't ask.
0.51 beta:
- Fixed a bug with the 2-handed version of 'Despair' (Thanks to Aldaron)
0.50 beta:
- Each (non-replica) Bastard Sword now has its own unique enchantment.
0.40 beta:
- Placed each weapon in a specific location in Tamriel (except the vikings for now - they will come later).
- Added a book to the bookseller in the IC Market district (very expensive relic) that will give you hints on where to find the weapons.
- All weapons but one are unenchanted.
0.35 alpha:
- Changed the way that textures are applied, I hope to have found a good compromise between shineyness in dungeons and outdoors.
- Included swap scripts to swap the Bastard Swords from one-handed use to two-handed. Should also work for the replicas available at the Slash'n Smash shop.
0.30 alpha:
- Added two more Viking skins and scabbards for the Viking swords.
0.21 alpha:
- Forgot to include the .esp in v0.20 ;)
0.20 alpha:
- Added a replica of all current versions to the 'Stash'n Smash' in the Imperial City Market District.
0.10 alpha:
- First set of blades, for internal use only (modders resource)

|
| Where can I find those weapons: |
| Either pure luck (sorry, couldn't help), or you buy the book 'The Seven Swords' in the IC Market district book shop. There are no exact locations named (apart from the name of the ruin sometimes) so you will have to search for them and no, I will give no more hints! If you need spoilers please ask fellow players in the forums, not me ;)
