Requiem for the Dawnbreaker

A simple, smooth reimagining of the classic Dawnbreaker. Standalone module

"Take the mighty Dawnbreaker and cleanse the corruption from the dark corners of the world."

This sword doesn't feel like a reimagined replica. Initially, I was going to make the center glow like the sword does in the game, but I grew quite fond of the red gem. I added a curved guard instead of the straight tubes that Daybreakers sometimes see in photos, to kind of give me the vibe of the Master Sword. I added wrapped leather grips instead of the previous "flat" grips. I then made the blade two colors and added the Daedric script. Been outfitting the sword with a simple new scabbard.

I hope you enjoy my reimagining of Daybreak.

"Take the mighty Dawnbreaker and with it purge corruption from the dark corners of the world."

This sword isn't so much a replica as a re-imagining. I was initially going to have the center glow as the sword did in game, but I became quite fond of the red jewel instead. I added a curved guard instead of the straight pipe you sometimes see Dawnbreaker have in photos, kinda gives me Master Sword vibes. I added a wrapped leather grip instead of the "flat" grip it had before. And I made the blade two-toned and added Daedric script. All the while equipping the sword with a simplistic new scabbard.

Hopefully you like my re-imagining of Dawnbreaker.
