Detailed Mod Description -
This mod allows the player to find and wield my interpretation of World of Warcraft's Strom'kar the Warbreaker, in Skyrim. The weapon uses a detailed poly efficient model and 4k or 2k texture mapping. It was made using the programs Blender 3D, Quixel Mixer, and SSEEdit. The ESP is ESL flagged and therefore shouldn't take a space in mod load orders.
The weapon follows the original designs of Strom'kar, but interpreted in a semi-realistic fantasy style in order to properly implement it into Skyrim. The weapon demonstrates a slight breathing glow effect when it is equipped.
Please do note that my screenshots for this mod use THE ENHANCER ENB and a ReShade that enhances contrast and saturation. The appearance of the weapons may vary depending on one's graphical setup for Skyrim. Due to that, I have included screenshots without the ReShade's contrast and saturation for a much more accurate representation of what it'd look like in a non - heavily modded graphical setup.
Weapon Lore -
Source Material Lore
In World of Warcraft, Strom'kar is the Arms Warrior's artifact weapon. To briefly explain, it is a sword not only made through the collaboration of the finest artisans of its time, but a blade that holds a great past and influence over the history of humans,
Wielded by the mighty Barbarian Warlord, King Thoradin, Strom'kar witnessed the fall of the once dominant and great Troll empires and the rise of the nation of Arathor, one of the first and most significant signs of human unity. Ultimately, the blade was used to seal away and immobilize an Old God Servant known as Zakajz the Corruptor within a forgotten tomb underneath Tirisfal Glades.
Skyrim "Lore - Friendly Addition"
Once again, through tonal manipulation and interference with the Heart of Lorkhan, the Dwemer have messed with the dimensional balance of the Godhead, allowing for the formation and connection to new realities. Strom'kar's appearance in Skyrim is just one unintended consequence of this unexpected meddling.
Weapon Stats -
The Cleaver form of the Divine Key of Destruction is rather light - weight while also being equivalent in strength to many other excellent weapons. Crafted using Honkai Components, its attributes come in the form of its raw power rather than physical prowess.
- Greatsword Type Weapon
- 60 Attack Damage
- 0.75 Attack Speed
- 2.00 Reach
- 30 Weight
- Special Perk: The Warbreaker
- Enchantment: Masterful Craftsmanship (Cannot Be Disenchanted)
- Can be Upgraded at the Skyforge into 3 Alternate Versions (See Below)
Base Weapon Enchantment: Masterful Craftsmanship -
The blade has been blessed with ancient elven enchantments. Every hit with Strom'kar does an additional 30 points of damage to an enemy's health.
Special Perk - The Warbreaker
Strom'kar is a weapon forged and modified through the collaboration and of its time - Vrkyul Blacksmiths, Elven Magicks and Sorceries, and the Human Spirit and Will. Wielding Strom'kar allows the the wielder to inflict 50% more weapon damage and 100% more damage with their power attacks.
Due to its history in the eradication and destruction of the Troll Empires, Strom'kar also happens to deal 1000% more damage against Skyrim's own version of the troll. Though these trolls may be completely from Warcraft Trolls, the blade somehow is still able to perceive it as no different than the trolls its used to eradicating.
Due to its usage in defeating a servant of the Old Gods, the blade harbors some form of their influence. While power attacking, there is a 10% chance for the blade to summon a large mass of tentacles that lowers the armor of nearby beings by 500 points as well as inflicting ~100 points of damage. Be wary when unleashing the full strength of the blade amongst allies.
Upgrade Paths
Along with the base form of Strom'kar, the alternate artifact appearances have been implemented as versions with better enchantments based on their theme. More information about the upgrade paths under the Method of Acquirement explanation.
Strom'kar the Corrupted -
Enchantment - Corrupted Craftsmanship - The seeping madness of the Old Gods plagues the minds of those wounded by the weapon inflicting 20 points of health damage over a duration of 5 seconds.
Strom'kar the Blinded Fury -
Enchantment - Reckless Craftsmanship - Hatred, rage, and power flow throughout the blade in its entirety allowing its blows to inflict 60 points of health damage instantly.
Strom'kar the Jaded -
Enchantment - Harmonic Craftsmanship - The blade's power has been honed, understood, and properly adjusted in this unique form. Attacks dealt by the blade are proper and calculated dealing 30 points of health damage and 35 points of points of stamina damage.
Method of Acquirement -
At the Wreck of a Brinehammer stands a creature that bears the likeness of one of Hermaeus Mora's Lurkers. This "Lurker," however, is capable of spawning a large mass of otherwordly purple tentacles that do not possess the bearings of the Daedric Prince of Knowledge. By defeating this Olden Corruptor, you will find wedged within its corpse the artifact, Strom'kar the Warbreaker.
If one fulfills the requirements of a potential upgrade path, they can take Strom'kar to the Skyforge of Whiterun and forge it into a new version of itself with an upgraded enchantment.
Upgrade Path Requirements -
Corruption Upgrade Path -
Allow the corrupting influence of the Old Gods to consume the blade in its entirety, enabling the wielder to access even more of their eldritch powers.
- Discover a book of forbidden knowledge held by a near omnipotent being (Complete the Discerning the Transmundane Quest)
- Requires the materials - Strom'kar the Warbreaker + Flawless Amethyst
Rage and Fury Path -
Allow Strom'kar to remember its bloodlust and purpose as a warlord's weapon. Break and end wars in order to start new ones.
- In a cycle of revenge and hatred, be the one that completes the end of that cycle (Complete the Purity of Revenge Quest )
- Requires the materials - Strom'kar the Warbreaker + Flawless Ruby
Balanced Upgrade Path -
Proper understanding of Strom'kar and the ideals of Jurgen Windcaller may allow you to modify it it a much more efficient version of the weapon.
- Undertake the journey to return another artifact to the hearth of its tomb (Complete The Horn of Jurgen Windcaller Quest)
- Requires the materials - Strom'kar the Warbreaker + Flawless Emerald
All versions of Strom'kar are temperable at a grindstone using 2 steel ingots. Unenchanted and perkless replicas any version of Strom'kar can be crafted as long as you have the original weapon in your inventory (Base Form or Upgraded).
Personal Notes -
- Unlike my first WOW artifact weapon mod I created, I decided to include the alternate color customizations from Legion.
- As much as I wanted to model the other weapon skins, those require the creation of a literal new model and textures so that would've taken too much time for me to do
- I may have taken a bit more than I can chew for my college courses. Modeling and Texturing and Digital Sculpting require a large time commitment so I may go on hiatus after releasing this mod.
- The next weapon mod will either be Seniorious from Suka Suka or Excalibur Galatine from Fate.
- Enjoy the mod and have fun using Strom'kar!
