A Race Overhaul
SE|AE



Aetherius is a complete overhaul of Skyrim’s human, elf, and beast races designed to balance the game’s races and add powerful new gameplay
options. Greater powers have been removed in favor of stronger, more desirable passives. Although each race has been designed to fill a
specific role, the nature of these bonuses allow for a broad range of builds to benefit from them. In addition, all starting skills have been
reduced by ten, to place more emphasis on the player’s choice of race. 

Aetherius is designed to complement  Mundus - A Standing Stone Overhaul, but it does not require it.
