Intro
Phalar Aluve is an iconic item in the game, with very little established lore around it, it remains largely a mystery, open for interpretation and imagination.
The sword's signature abilities give it a unique identity, yet it feels underwhelming, underdevelopped.
Many other mods have had their hand at the sword before to make it more powerful and relevant to keep close, this mod takes it a step or two further.
The sword is revisited once more, with upgrades, a unique mechanic, and a set of upgradable equipment accompanying it, scattered around, making for a nice treasure hunting.
Moreover, a new background story connects everything together.
