About this mod
Effectively removes the level requirement from 'Kill The Giant' Favor quest that is required before becoming Thane of the Pale (aka Dawnstar) and/or the "Find Holfdir's Shield" quest that is required before becoming Thane of the Reach (aka Markarth)
- Permissions and credits
- Changelogs
I find it unfair that to become Thane of the Pale/Dawnstar, not only do you have to do a daedric quest, but you also must be level 22 to gain the Jarl's favor to unlock purchasing land and his Thane quest. Falkreath and Morthal have no level requirement, so why should Dawnstar? Oldrim has a mod that does this and more, but has not been ported yet, and will likely be quite some time.
This mod removes the level requirement of 'Kill the Giant (Jarl)' favor quest for Jarl Skald (Quest: Favor153). Technically, it doesn't remove the condition all together, it changes the level requirement to Level 1. The prerequisite quest "Waking Nightmare" is still required, just like Morthal's requirement.
This mod can also remove the level requirement for "Find Hrolfdir's Shield" favor quest for Jarl Igmund (Quest: Favor157). You will still need to complete favors for the people of the reach and purchase the player home to become Thane. This just removes the level 20 requirement.

*Load Order*
-LOOT should place it where ever it can be without issue. Not dependant on any mods.
-Merging into Bash/Mashed Patch should be possible, as it affects only 1-2 reference(s), to save on plugin space/count.
*Compatibility & Conflicts*
- This mod has only 1-2 reference(s). Any mod that touches 'Favor153' (or Favor157) quest will be incompatible, Except USSEP, as this mod uses same reference base as it.
- Is compatible with anything that affects Thane rewards. This does not affect any other requirements (IE: Waking Nightmare and helping people of Dawnstar still required).
- I'm unaware of any issues using this mid game. May have issues if you install it after completing "Waking Nightmares". New saves should have Zero issues.
