About this image

In place of the vanilla game's primitive stone 'swords' and axes, I've armed the Forsworn with various Celtic-inspired weapons from the modding community, including--


Bob's Armory from Mr. Dave--falcata, longbow, and Highland bullock daggers

Jedo Dre's Historical Revival--handaxes and cherusker blade, etc. as well as tons of armor

Of course, in the real world these various Celtic weapons were used hundreds of miles and centuries apart, but considering how Skyrim is all over the place in this regard--the Imperials encompass Samurai Blades and Romans? okay...) I don't think I have to worry about being anachronistic as all hell! For me, as long as the factions are culturally distinct, internally consistent, (and don't look goofy)... it's all good. ;)

Links for both mods are found here.

    Hello:

    Where is the link for replacing the forsworn weapons with the accurate ones?

    I love this mod thanks for doing it!

    Celts did fight the Angles and Saxons (pretty much the style of the hold guards). The Celtic "British" were still very active in Wales and Cornwall throughout the 10 and 11th centuries when the Saxons were battling first the Vikings (Danes, swedes etc) and then the Normans (who were origionally Vikings and the solitude armor is not far off - needs kite shields and longer mail) so I think the timeline absolutely works

      Hey Draig77,
      My timeline comments were directed more at the anachronistic nature of the particular weapons I've used for the Forsworn--high medieval Scottish 'bullock' dagger and Welsh warbow, ancient Roman era Celt-Iberian falcata and Germanic cherusker, etc.--all being used together.

      But like I said, if it's culturally distinct and internally consistent, I'm satisfied.

      But yeah, it definitely makes sense within the historic record as you laid it out. Thanks for the comment.
