Requirements
Permissions and credits
Changelogs
I thought powdermelonkeg's Calians - Altmer Accessories were gorgeous and needed them in my game immediately, I've always loved the lore surrounding the Altmer and always hoped for a mod like that. My little add-ons offer features I wanted for myself.

Features and Options


ESL Flagged
- Calians - Altmer Accessories was not esl flagged, now it is!  Delete or disable MS03CalianPack.esp, you no longer need it.  But be sure you do install the original first, you need powdermelonkeg's "Calian Base Set 181" enabled from it for my version to work, that's all the textures!

Unique Calians for important NPCs -
New in 1.3! Characters like Elenwen and Ondolemar will have hand picked calians called "[name's] calian".  They are worth more than their random counterparts, and make perfect collectibles for roleplaying.  Not every named NPC was giving a calian, not everyone would have it on their person when you come across them.  It might be safely tucked away at home, or if they were born outside the Isles, they probably don't have one in the first place! If you think someone not listed should have one or vice versa, let me know!

Random Distribution to generic NPCs
  - SPID pulls from a leveled list to give each non unique Altmer NPC you come across a chance to get a random colored calian in their inventory (think Thalmor soldiers, necromancers, etc)  Newly upped to a 25% chance to get one!  To change this chance, open the Calians_DISTR.ini file, change the 25 at the end to a number between 1-100 for that chance instead.

  • Purist Edition - This leveled list only pulls from the 12 white options to distribute. Why? """Technically""" the only references call calians "milky" and "creamy". I love all the color options, but I figured someone might like this.  To use it instead of the full color list, open the Calians_DISTR.ini file, change the 6 in "0x08B6" to a 7, and save.
  • Distribution for original esp - if you would prefer using the original esp, check the misc files section of the downloads for leveled lists and SPID files meant for that version!

Repriced Calians - Changes the prices to range from 500-2000, with colorful ones priced lower (impurities in the quartz) and white ones at the higher price.  The special calians for named NPCs can be double this price.

Future plans


  • Adjusted prices for the calians - added 1.2
  • Hand picked/named calians for named NPCs - added 1.3
  • More complex and lore friendly distribution lists, i.e.  Poorer Altmer = less expensive calian
  • Reduced list with not so many colors - added 1.1
  • Crafting recipes add on - If powdermelonkeg blesses us with damaged models this will drop
  • Lore book/notes add on
  • ???
  • Something else?  Just ask!
