About this mod

Replaces the Imperial Dragon armor you get at the end of the main quest. *NEW* Now comes with 2 extra broadswords for increased choices.

Permissions and credits
*NEW* update....added 2 new swords based on the Glamdring model Vagabond created. They match the armor as well.

Info:
I have always liked the Blades armor far better than the Imperial Dragon armor....so I made a replacer. I have customized the Blades armor and replaced the Imperial Dragon armor you get 2 weeks after completing the main quest with my new version. It now comes complete with a matching Blades type shield and a choice of 2 custom golden katanas and 2 custom broadsword models, one each with flames and one each without. I left the vanilla enchantments on the armor, didn't enchant the shield and the non-flaming katana and broadsword are not enchanted. The armor, the shield, and the scabbards of the katanas now have custom Dragon emblems on them signifying that this is the Imperial champion version.

Location:
These are in the legion armory exactly where they were originally. They have the same script as the original vanilla armor so you will still have to fulfill the questline to get the armor like you did with the original Imperial Dragon reward armor. The armor pieces still use the Imperial Dragon armor world models, but use the new meshes in the SS. Sorry, I will create world models later.
*NEW INFO* (For those of you who downloaded the old version) The new swords are available as soon as you update and fulfill the vanilla quest requirements of the armor. If you have already completed the main quest, just go back to the legion armory and they will be there on the floor in front of the table where you picked up the original armor.

Installation:
Unzip to a temp location. Files were zipped with 7Zip. I have given both the BSA file and the sub directory files along with the .esp. If you are familiar with BSA installations, feel free to use that method. If not, copy the .esp file and the mesh and texture files into your data folder and choose yes to overwrite when prompted. (Don't worry, it won't overwrite your files, it just adds to them.) Then activate the .esp either in OBMM or in the data section of your launcher if you don't use OBMM.

Uninstall:
Just uncheck the .esp. The files are extra and don't overwrite any game files.
