This is an option version of the mod which adds in the new armours and weapons, but also changes 50% of the guards in the Imperial controlled holds and Whiterun to be women. They can kill regular soldiers with only few shots, but they are also slower to fire than regular bows.Ī new feature for SSE, added by Billy Pilgrim, is Gender Equality. Their armor is light, sacrificing durability for mobility, keeping the distance and taking down their enemies from a far. They use bows and arrows, with a small dagger for close quarters.

Unlike in the other cities, the guards of Riften prefer ranged weapons. Forged by Oengul War-Anvil and enchanted by Wuunferth the Unliving, these axes are not strong as the original but still provide extra damage to elves. Their armor is designed to honor the original empire - the empire built by Tiber Septim - and their weapon is replica of Wuuthrad, battleaxe used by Nord hero Ysgramor. The people of Windhelm are proud Nords and so are their guards. Standing against the Empire are the Stormcloaks, and their home is Windhelm. The college provided the city's guards with enchanted swords that freeze their enemies. After the destruction of the city, the Jarl appealed to the college to help with defense. Their armor is covered in cloth and fur so they can handle extreme cold. The guards of Winterhold need outfits that can keep them warm. WInterhold is the coldest city in Skyrim. Unfortunately for them they are by far the weakest guards in Skyrim. Guards are left with weak armor, a small shield and Iron weapons. Having a lazy and narcissistic Jarl does not help either, since he was careless enough to not provide them with new gear. The guards of Falkreath are badly equipped. The city is most known for its graveyard. (To make the choice of ebony make more sense I recommend mod Ebonvale Settlement).įalkreath is not the most interesting place in Skyrim. He also provided them with his own craft - Skyforge steel swords, much stronger than a regular steel weapon. Whiterun has the advantage of heaving Eorlund Gray-Mane as smith - he provided guards with light ebony armor and large ebony shields. Knowing that both Imperials and Sormcloaks are waiting for right chance to take the city, Jarl Balgruuf the Greater decided to prepare his men for war and gave the order to begin producing new gear. In the fourth era civil war rages Skyrim, and Whiterun is the only city that has not chosen a side. Clan Axe-Bearer lived in the city for many years - they taught the guards some of their skills - so the guards' weapon of choice for generations has been axes.Īlso known as the heart of Skyrim. They don’t have strong walls so their best defences are the guards of the city. Morthal is the only city that is not built on the main roads of Skyrim. Even though their gear is primarily for undead, they are still able to defend the city against almost anything. Fearing that the source of the nightmares was unnatural, like daedra or the undead, the town's guards took silver swords and silver shields so they could deal with such an enemy if they found it. They are trained to use dwarven hammers and with those they can smash through any foe.ĭuring the fourth era Dawnstar’s citizens were suffering from nightmares. Their armor is strong and can take a lot of damage. They build armors by using what was left of dwarven metal and use dwarven weapons found in the city. In the city originally built by dwarves, guards rely on the strength of their walls and so they rely on strength of their own. Billy's note: The Solitude guards in SSE no longer have the HDT physics-enabled drapes due to technical limitations. Trained by captain Aldis they are honorable knights, wearing the colors of their home with pride and wielding large two handed sword that can cut through almost anything. Guards of such a important and rich city should wear something fancy. The capital city of both Haafingar Hold and all of Skyrim, Solitude is probably the richest city out of all nine cites and it is the headquarters to the Imperial Legion.
