This mod is a complete weapons & smithing overhaul. This mod adds countless new weapons to the game through crafting and leveled lists.
All of the new weapons and Vanilla weapons are retextured and have new material specific shaders and environment maps.

Hundreds of new weapons, craftable and found throughout the world!
-Weapon material & style are now independent of each other. Not all Orcish swords are made from orichalcum, and not all orichalcum swords are made in the Orcish style!
-Choose your weapons' style and materials independently of each other.
-All of the new weapons are craftable by the player at the forge and can be found throughout the game world wherever you'd expect to

find weapons.
-Weapon material progression is no longer as linear, you don't need to chose to specialize in smithing heavy or light, you can mix and match.
-Style has subtle effects on weapon stats independent of material. No style is better than any other, but each has their own unique

stats and advantages.
-Materials are learned by unlocking perks, style by finding or purchasing smithing books.

Unique Unique Weapons!
Named weapons have been given a makeover. If it's a unique weapon it now looks unique.

Dragon-Rune Crafting!
-Craft magical swords and greatswords (54 in all) using Ancient Dragon-Runes to give elemental power to your weapons without use of

Enchanting.
-Dragon-Runes can be found in Ancient Nord ruins, especially in the hoards kept by Draugr Bosses.
-Dragon-Rune crafting is an alternative form of weapon enchantment that functions without the use of the enchanting table.
-Unlocked by finding or purchasing a book on Dragon-Runes.
-Dragon-Runes may occasionally be found for sale in shops.

New weapon Improvement system!
-Weapon's are upgraded at the sharpening wheel using gem dust.
-Gem dust can be produced at the forge using gemstones.
-Gem dust may also be found in shops and dungeons.
-More expensive gem dust is required to upgrade more powerful weapons.

New textures & shaders for all of the vanilla weapons!
-All Vanilla weapons are retextured and have new material specific shaders and environment maps.
-This includes all Vanilla basic weapons, Vanilla Unique weapons and Vanilla artifact weapons.
-Queen Freydis sword now looks fit for a queen! As an example.


1.2.1a
-Adjusted leveled listing of weapons.
--You should only find level appropriate weapons in shops and loot.
---Whats appropriate depends on what overhaul youre using or vanilla. You shouldn't see Ebony weapons at level 3 for instance, unless you're using a mod that does that on purpose.
--Imperials and Stormcloaks should be using weapons of their own cultural style occasionally using weapons made of uncommon and rare materials.
--Bandits should be wielding leveled weapons of common and Nordic cultural styles.
--Blacksmiths should be selling weapons of Nordic style as well as the occassional gem dust and crafting style book.
--Traders should be selling weapons of common and Nordic style.
--Orc strongholds should be selling Orcish style weapons.
--Other blacksmiths will be selling weapons of styles if their background makes it appropriate.
-Duplicate crafting recipes removed. Shouldn't see Iron Longsword (Vanilla) and Basic Iron Longsword (AoT) since they're actually the same item.
-Crafting recipes changed to match vanilla as far as material amounts go with uncommon components required for unusal cultural/material combinations.

1.2.0a
-Compatibility version. Should now be fully compatible with most if not all mods, please report any conflicts or problems.
-Amount of dust from gems changed to 2 for regular gems and 4 for flawless gems.
-Crafting books also added to Skyrim book leveled lists. These books should be found anywhere books are found. Please report if they're

too frequent or infrequent.
