Features
Every culture might see a Warrior standing watch in the stars, but they certainly wouldn't all see him the same. This mod aims to fix the lack of cultural expression in Skyrim's standing stones with unique illustrations by Koveich.
Intricate carvings, clumps of moss and worn mountainous stone crafted by ClearanceClarence brings the stones to life.
Birthsigns glow when the stones are activated for a radiant view at night. In vanilla only the stars on the stones glow.
The carefully inscribed runes along the opposing sides tell of a glorious battle from Norse mythology: Then light shone from Logafell, and from that radiance there came bolts of lightning; wearing helmets at Himingvani. Their byrnies were drenched in blood; and rays shone from their spears.
