'Foyadas of Blood' Dai-Katana & Urn Helmet After playing Elden Ring, I thought it'd be fun if you could wear a jar on your head in Morrowind, and there was a certain meme making the rounds, so I decided that the distinctive 'Rivers of Blood' katana needed to be included too. Info This mod adds a new encounter in the Aran Ancestral Tomb, a madenned Imperial swordsman armed with a new dai-katana and urn helmet that YOU can loot. For those using Greatness7's 'Weapon Sheathing' mod, a sheathe is included. No quest, just go there and do what must be done. - The warrior in question is statistically comparable to Umbra (the orc). - The urn helmet is heavy armour, unenchanted, and statistically equivalent to the steel full helm. It occupies the hair slot on a character, similar to open helms. Beast races will thus be able to wear it but will probably clip through horribly. - The dai-katana, 'Foyadas of Blood', is a two-handed long blade, with its stats sitting between the glass claymore and the daedric dai-katana. It's also unenchanted. - The weapon uses modified versions of upscaled base game textures taken from 'Intelligent Textures', with a new set of handle wrap textures pieced together using the same textures. --- Installation Instructions 1 - Dump the contents of the 7zip into your 'Data Files' folder. 2 - Then delete the ESP you don't want. Two ESPs are included Use UrnHelmetAndKatana-NPC if you want to loot the items in game by killing the NPC. Use UrnHelmetAndKatana-NoNPC if you want to simply add the items to your inventory with the console.

So profaned and misshapen had this blade become that the dunmer of old threw it into the sea, hoping it would never resurface. The dai-katana washed up on Vvardenfell, undisturbed until the new colonial era. Alas, it is said that upon finding the blade, the swordsman's body was stolen, possessed by an ancient wraith one of Reman's most bloodthirsty warriors and the last wielder of the dai-katana. The Temple was quick to act and though not immediately able to destroy the spirit, was able to ensnare it. Temple crusaders forced a ceremonial urn over the man's head to prevent the wraith's escape, and trapped it deep in Aran Ancestral Tomb. It was hoped that the dead bound within the tomb would act as jailers, until the crusaders' return, or in the worst case, until the wraith's vessel was nought but bone and rotting flesh. Now it falls to you to descend into the tomb and defeat the wraith of a blademaster of the second age. Why Perhaps to grant the afflicted swordsman peace, to avenge the dunmer claimed by the wraith's hand in a past era, or simply to prove yourself the mightier man or mer. Whatever the reason, defeat him and claim these treasures the eccentric urn helmet and the fell dai-katana known as the 'Foyadas of Blood'. --- Credits Greatness7 & the MMC for the Morrowind Blender Plugin and a wellspring of modding info Remiros for his Intelligent Textures FromSoft, Elden Ring staff & Let Me Solo Her Creative bankruptcy --- Other If you want to alter elements of this mod (armour category, weapon damage, 1h or 2h etc.) then I encourage you to look up some Construction Set tutorials to do these easier edits.
