“No more terrible disaster could befall your people than for them to fall into the hands of a Hero.”
― Frank Herbert

Deep in the deserts of Hammerfell lies a kingdom known as Arrakis.  It is there, and only there, where a dangerous and powerful substance can be found: the spice Melange.  A mysterious substance that extends life and expands consciousness, the spice has been coveted by the royal families of Tamriel for centuries.  Many factions have come to this desert to claim the spice for their own.  But the desert does not give up its treasure easily.  The desolate sands make survival all but impossible, and gigantic sandworms protect the spice with terrifying ferocity.  And hidden in the deep desert is a forgotten warrior people, scattered and oppressed, who wait for a savior to unite them against these invaders, and lead them to paradise...



A huge Dune fan all my life, it was hard to resist doing something now with the new movies coming out.  With a universe already so deeply medieval-feeling as Dune, bringing it into Skyrim seemed like a no-brainer.  My first thought was how perfectly the Nightingale Armor would work as a stillsuit, so that's where I started.  Then I found an amazing mod by gearshout, his Dungeon Strider Amor , that took the Nightingale Armor and created a whole collection of Fremen-inspired armors (and did a way better job than I could have done.)  So instead of reinventing the wheel, I built off of that and expanded it to include a number of other factions and weapons from the Dune universe.  I tried to keep things as vaguely lore-friendly as possible while still capturing all of the great parts of Dune.  I also tried to remove as many of the sci-fi elements as possible to make it feel more grounded, but kept a few things (like Shields and Lasguns) that can easily be explained away with magic.


This mod adds several new sets of armor and clothing, loosely based on the various peoples and factions in the Dune universe.  It also adds a whole arsenal of weapons and other items inspired by Dune.

-A medium-sized desert worldspace. (COMING SOON)
-Sandworms! (COMING SOON)
-Fremen robes & stillsuits, in a variety of colors and styles.  The stillsuits are a very light armor, but add some significant buffs to sneak, stamina, and environment protection.
-Great House faction armors, based on the Harkonnen, Atreides, and Sardaukar armors as depicted in the new movies.
-Bene Gesserit, Guild, & Smuggler factions & armors.
-Crysknives, in a wide variety of styles and designs, based on all of the various depictions in media.
-Swords, Knives, and other blade weapons based on the various factions, mostly as depicted in the new movies.
-Lasguns, Maula Pistols, Stunners, etc.  "Lore-friendly!"
-Weirding Modules!
-A few familiar faces, available as followers or enemies. (COMING SOON)

There is an airship waiting at the Blue Palace, and another in Markarth.


-The Fremen robes and cloaks use a number of different body slots so that they can be layered.  Be aware that certain combinations will cause clipping.
-When installing, you might get a message to overwrite a script called "MANDGauntletScript".  This is just a simple script that adds/removes spells when you equip/unequip an item, and I use it in several of my mods.  Just go ahead and let it overwrite; it shouldn't change anything.


-The suspensors are supposed to greatly reduce fall damage, but I think that only works to a certain height.  After that, you die instantly regardless of damage.


-Add custom dialogue to a few NPCs.
-Figure out how to make the shields "pop" on and off like real energy weapons.
-Add a large worldspace with factions, creatures, quests, etc.
