About this mod Machine translation
Replacement for Queen Freydis' Sword quest item, as well as a standalone nifty new sword.
What's this
This is a port of the Steam Workshop Mod, licensed on . I've tweaked it and added it to this mod and thought I'd make it available in case anyone is interested.
This is ported from LE, the mod is pretty much the same as there, but the ESP files are marked as ESL so as not to take up a file slot in the load order.
what does it do
This mod does two things. First, it overhauls Queen Freydis' Sword quest with a new look. Secondly, it allows you to forge another sword at the forge, called "Queen Freydis' High Sword". Both swords have the same appearance and properties.
"The Sword of Queen Freydis" requires that you have the Ironsmith perk and have played the "Tower of Eastmach" quest. This is for lore reasons, Queen Freydis was the Queen of Windhelm in the Second Age, and you need to have the confidence of Ulfric and Windhelm to do it yourself. If you disagree with my decision, just cheat and use the console.
After you perk up and complete the quest, take 1 gold ingot, 1 silver ingot, 1 silver ingot, 3 steel ingots, and 1 leather strip and forge it.
The sword's attributes and value are also greatly improved, making it comparable to the Daedric sword. The sword can also be tempered on a grinding wheel with 1 Quicksilver ingot.

What is this
This is a port of a Steam Workshop mod that with permission has been made available here. I have tweaked and added to the mod, and thought I'd make it available, in case anyone would be interested.
This has been ported over from LE, the mod is pretty much the same as on there, but the ESP file has been flagged as ESL as to not take up a file slot in your load order.
What does it do
This mod does two things. First it overhauls the Queen Freydis's Sword quest item, with a new appearance. Secondly, it enables you to smith another sword called 'High Queen Freydis's Sword' at the forge. The appearance and stats of these two sword are identical.
The 'High Queen Freydis's Sword' requires you to have the Steel Smithing perk, as well as having done the 'Thane of Eastmarch' quest. This is for lore reasons, High Queen Freydis was Queen of Windhelm back in the 2nd Era, and you will need to have the confidence of Ulfric and Windhelm in order to be able to make it yourself. If you disagree with my decision, just cheat and use console to get it.
Once you have the perk and the quest done, take 1 gold ingot, 1 silver ingot, 1 quicksilver ingot, 3 steel ingots and 1 leather strip to the forge and make it.
The stats and value of the sword have also been increased significantly, to be on par with the Daedric sword. The sword is also able to be tempered at the sharpening wheel with 1 quicksilver ingot.

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.
