About this mod Machine translation
Avulstein and Thorald Gray-Mane can be made into copies of followers and potential spouses after completing related quests by talking to their mother Fralia.
"Our best hope now is to fall into the ranks of the Stormcloaks" - Thorald Gray-Mane said after you saved him, but then he and his brother quit the game for no reason. With this mod, they actually join the Tempest Rebellion.
Speak to Fralia Gray-Mane in Whiterun, then leave the cell. The replicas of Avulstein and Thorald can be found in Wyndhelm Palace, upstairs in the King's Tower, in the wing where the wizard Ununving is. They are in one of the rooms, ready to pay attention to you and/or marry you. They're not actually Stormcloaks, and you can recruit them without any trouble even if you side with the Imperials. If you've already completed the task, I think it will still work. Talk to Fralia about anything, then fast travel to Windhelm,
By default, Avulstein uses a Skyforge Steel battle axe, while Thorald uses a Skyforge Steel sword. Since Stormcloak armor is very light, they are more efficient with light armor. Avulstein (Fighting Barbarian) is good with two hands, Thorald (Fighting Assassin) is good with one hand. Unfortunately, Thorald's original voice had neither followers nor consort dialogue, so I had to change his voice to make it work properly.
Both are indispensable, willing to commit any crime for you, and have privileges: light feet, low movements and silent rolls.
There are two file versions: one with original white hair and the other with youthful blond hair. Choose any one you like.
Change log:
-Gold Version 2: I made some improvements to the script and also made Olfina golden to match her siblings. If you have any mod that changes Olfina's appearance, please overwrite that mod with that one, as Olfina will still look vanilla, just with blond hair.
-Original Hair Color Version 2: Just improved script.
- Both improved script versions feature new versions of Thorald's original voice, for those using the mod Relationship Dialogue Overhaul (RDO),
Requires Skyrim only, no DLC required.
Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
