AthenaX has done a tremendous job at bringing Raz to life, and I can't begin to express how happy I am to be able to play as one of my favorite video game characters of all time - in Skyrim.
You can find Raziel's armor in a "Forgotten Chest" close to the exit in Helgen Cave (see images section), along with a few odd things required to temper the armor once. The chest is secured with an adept lock, so you better bring some lockpicks.
Alternatively, if you don't want to bother with picking up the armor from its location, you can use Additem Menu and just transfer all armor parts into your inventory.
You can install this mod safely mid-game.
There are no skills required to temper the armor. It requires Dragon Scales to be tempered (not included in the chest). It's effectively classified as dragon armor, and I think it fits well since Raziel had grown draconic wings before he was cast into the Abyss. Only the Wings are classified as clothing (cape), so they aren't temperable. This is a light armor. All armor parts are enchantable.
Wearing all parts together is recommended because it covers the entire body and wearing only some parts of it will look weird. If you're wearing earrings, amulet and/or rings, they won't be visible on the body. The circlet will be visible, though.
You can find two versions of the armor in the download section: regular and HIMBO.
Enhancements that I've applied:
- Enhanced the shape of all meshes
- Slightly adjusted the textures
- Replaced the hair
- Wings are functioning as cape instead of an amulet
- Added custom location for the container
- Added HIMBO refits

Soul Reaver Spectral Swords
- This is essentially SE port of AthenaX's Soul Reaver Raziel from LE, so the mod wouldn't have been possible without the original author.
- Redone hair on Raziel's head hails from HG Hairdos. This particular hairstyle had transparency issues, so I fixed it and adjusted it to resemble Raziel's original hair and also provide a lot of detail.
Plans
NickaNak has been advising me on how to make Raziel's Wings useful - more specifically, to give them the ability to glide (like the Paraglider). This would be awesome since Raziel's wings are meant to enable him to hover across some distances.
However, despite NickaNak's very detailed guidance, my scripting skills are utter shite (I'm lowkey st00pid when it comes to anything involving code), so I'm not sure I'll be able to do this.
However, there's a mod that might be able to compensate: Glide
It doesn't make use of the wings, but it does enable the player's body to glide.
