A simple mod removing the 'starts dead' flag on the implied boss of Ustengrav. A lone deathlord guarding the Horn of Jurgen Windcaller to make the dungeon less anticlimactic.

This is an ESP-FE with three small changes to Ustengrav:
Instead of being deceased, one draugr will be waiting for the Dragonborn at the Horn of Jurgen Windcaller.
The guardian is promoted to Very Hard rank and to the boss leveled list instead of generic draugr, suiting it being the final trial of the Dragonborn.
Defeating the draugr will mark the dungeon as cleared, which makes Ustengrav eligible for some radiant quests. This can be a little strange with a bandit bounty targeting a draugr, but the Jarl will pay you just the same and there were bandits in the front after all...
This is intended for users of At Your Own Pace, and similar mods that skip the vanilla subplot of Delphine stealing the horn first. But even if you don't, you can still use this to spice up that room a little. Delphine could've snuck past this draugr.
The main mod file doesn't require anything and is unlikely to be incompatible with anything. ESP-FE.
There are three additional options to better customize the experience and challenge. (all ESP-FE and only one esp is needed)
ALTERNATE LIST:
This optional file uses the other vanilla list: At high levels (player level 40-50?) the enemy may be a generic dragon priest instead. If the mod King-Priest or Haugbui is installed, they will add some extra variety at any level. Does NOT require those mods, or the main mod file. Haugbui also edits the main file's leveled list, but only slightly.
THE DRAGON CULT:
This optional file uses the custom list from the mod The Dragon Cult: A Draugr Overhaul. The new boss will have the extensive variety provided by Dragon Cult and so could be female, a brawler, a mage, an archer, etc.. The Dragon Cult mod is required, the main mod file is not. Load after Dragon Cult.
DOUBLE DRAUGR:
This variation reanimates both draugr as Hard-rank bosses. The archive has doubled versions of the vanilla, Alternate List, and Dragon Cult options, so only pick one esp!
