The Dragonspawn of Skyrim

Long ago, when the Dragon Cult reigned over Skyrim with an iron fist, two dragon priests created a race of supersoldiers, made in the dragons' image, to strike fear into the hearts of men. During the Dragon War, when the Cult was being forced southeast, these creatures rebelled against their overlords and vanished from Skyrim. Now, with the return of the dragons, something has called them home...

The dragonspawn are an ancient race of half-undead reptilians. While their flesh shrivels in the presence of sunlight, they make up for this weakness with substantial physical endurance, resilience and powerful magical abilities.

MECHANICALLY SPEAKING...

This mod adds quite a few things to the game. They are as follows.

NEW PLAYABLE RACE

RACIAL SPELL: Pertains to the Alteration school of magic. Functions like Telekinesis, but only works on creatures; more specifically, creatures that aren't children or immune to paralysis. The non-racial version can be bought from wizards that sell Adept-level Alteration spells (i.e. Tolfdir, Wylandriah, and Durgrax [see below]).

RACIAL POWERS:
- Enthrall enables the player to calm a single creature up to level 100 for 10 minutes of in-game time.
- Deathwatch sends out a sonic pulse that allows the player to detect the auras of all creatures within a certain radius.
- Low-light Vision enables the player to see more clearly in the dark.

CONSTANT EFFECTS:
- Increased starting Health and Stamina.
- Increased Magicka and Stamina regeneration.
- 100 points of bonus armor.
- 100% resistance to disease and poison.
- 100% resistance to cold and electricity damage.
- Talons that deal 20 points of unarmed damage.
- Potions you make are 50% more powerful.
- In the presence of sunlight (i.e. outdoors between 5 am and 7 pm in-game), your Health is reduced by 50 points, and Health regeneration is reduced by 100%.

NEW NPCS

Durgrax: An old dragonspawn wizard with ties to the College of Winterhold. He can be found outside of Lod's house in Falkreath, and will offer his services as a spells merchant - he'll sell you Alteration spells and amulets of the Divines, as well as soul gems and a few ingredients.

Sanaar and Jarrakas: Two dragonspawn thrill-seekers that are the two sons of Durgrax. They're based out of the Drunken Huntsman in Whiterun, and will accompany you on your advetures should you ask them to do so. Sanaar is a mage that summons dremora lords and blasts things with fire, whiel Jarrakas rushes into melee and drains his victims' vitality.

Vyraqwen: A female dragonspawn assassin that dual wields two swords and is based out of Dead Man's Drink in Falkreath. While she too is a follower, she can also be married.

There is another dragonspawn NPC in this game, but he is evil and will attack the player on sight.

NEW EQUIPMENT

Sanaar, Jarrakas, and Vyraqwen each carry a Dragonspawn Sword (because Vyraqwen employs the dual-wielding style, she actually has two). The base damage for this weapon is 20 points, which beats the dragonbone sword by 5 points. There are also six dragonspawn relics scattered across Skyrim: a staff, a sword, a crown, a set of boots, a set of gauntlets, and a set of armor. The crown and staff were buried with the dragon priests that supposedly created the dragonspawn. The rest have been collected by the previously mentioned dragonspawn cutthroat.
- Using the staff will emit an aimed projectile that deals 100 points of shock damage to Health and Magicka.
- The sword doesn't need to be recharged. Its base damage is 45 points, and it will absorb 50 points of Magicka and Stamina per hit, as well as phase through armor for an additional 50 points of damage.
- The gauntlets increase one-handed damage by 50% and double sneak attack damage with one-handed weapons.
- The boots increase the user's Light Armor skill by 250 points and increase magic resistance by 30%.
- The armor increases destruction spell damage by 50%.
- The crown reduces the Magicka cost for all spells by 100%.
I don't want to reveal the names or exact locations of these items because then the thrill of the hunt would just be ruined. I will, however, say this:
- One of the dragon priests preferred a solitary lifestyle in the company of the dragon he served.
- The other dragon priest led the last remnants of the Dragon Cult and defended them against Skorm Snow-Strider towards the end of the Dragon War.
- The rogue dragonspawn was last seen around Drelas' Cottage in Whiterun Hold. If you decide to face him, be warned - he carries a big stick.
