About This File
UPDATE 2022-05-16 - I am rescinding this mod, at least temporarily, due to controversy surrounding how the mod was presented to the communty. I am currently considering my options. Thank you for understanding and, for those who did enjoy the mod, I am glad that you enjoyed it.
Â
OVERVIEW - The mod allows you to find and wear an enchanted ring called "The Stallion Ring," made by a person calling themselves "Curt the Cursed Enchanter." Be forewarned that the ring is not all that it appears to be; Read the poem included with it carefully and heed it's instructions. A "spoiler file" is included with this mod for people who would like additional clarity on the nature of the ring.
Â
The container containing the ring (and the poem) may be found outside and under a bridge. Additional clues (in order):
Â
Past Riverwood.
Â
Before Whiterun.
Â
Just before Chillfurrow Farm.
Â
In response to feedback, here is the poem that is in the mod so that you may judge if this mod is something that you would be interested in using for your playthroughs. Again, if you want precise details on what the ring does, there's a "spoiler" text file included in the mod.
Â
Behold the curse of the Stallion Ring,
Worn by paupers, worn by kings.
Each thought that ownership would turn them great,
Too late did they learn that it was all a mistake.
Â
True, it is, it grants great speed,
For the ring is based upon a steed.
Water shall become solid so fast that you run,
But the costs are so great it shall ruin your fun.
Â
Regardless of type, no armor may be adorned,
From head to foot, only clothes must be worn.
And those who are quick must also travel light,
Your burden is reduced regardless of might.
Â
And the steed has hooves which make a great sound,
Enemies shall know when you are around.
Â
Before this ring you try to accept,
If I were you, it would not be kept.
I'd let it lie wherever it was found,
And hope it is swallowed into the ground.
Â
But the soil shall always vomit it back,
To display itself to some witless hack.
To glimmer it's charms and attract a cod,
In the hopeless attempt to become a God.
Â
Yet, here it is, in front of you now,
A decision is placed upon your brow.
Accept your fate as a peasant and walk away,
Or will fate tempt you now and lead you astray?
Â
Â
The mod is a single .ESP file and is placed into the directory that all .ESP files are placed in. The mod contains no scripts. Uninstallation is simple; Remove the ring, save the game, uninstall the mod, re-load your save game and simply re-save your game.
Â
The mod was made using Skyrim: Anniversary Edition but I can only presume that it will work on earlier editions. Please let me know if that is not the case as I have no way of testing the mod on earlier editions.
Â
Any constructive feedback is welcome, as always. I do expect to tweak the mod a tiny bit but it all depends upon feedback.
Â
Finally, please do not re-distribute this mod to places such as NexusMods; I do not hate NexusMods or the people who work there. I only want to have one central location for which to monitor the feedback and reception of the mod. Having multiple places to modify (and monitor) the mod would be detrimental to it's upkeep.
Â
I hope that you enjoy this mod. Thank you.
