Summon the Ancestral Guardian

A very small mod (ESP only) that replaces the power of the Dunmer Fire Cloak with the Dunmer "Summon Ancestor Guardian" racial ability (as seen in Morrowind and Obilivion). Uses vanilla assets only, no DLC required.

This is a very small mod that only uses assets from vanilla Skyrim. No DLC or custom files required.

This model was created by Somokon for Oldrim in December 2011. It replaces the Dunmer Flame Cloak racial ability with the more legend-friendly Summon Ancestor Guardian racial ability.

Somokon's original outfit features a male Dunmer outfitted with Altmer elven armor and sword. Your "ancestors" can fight for you with fire magic and swords. The duration of being summoned is 999 days or death (yours or an ancestor's, always the first time).

I modified and uploaded two other versions of the mod. Both versions feature more Dunmer lore-friendly ebony armor and swords, as well as reducing the summoning duration to 120 seconds (two minutes), which is more in line with the historical Elder Scrolls versions of the Ancestral Guardian's abilities. You can choose a male or female Dunmer, each with custom facial features. Yes, I know... ghost. Why bother? Well, I had a great time.

This will most likely be the only version of Summon Ancestor Guardian released. It does what it says on the tin, and should be compatible with just about anything (except another mod that modifies the Dunmer Flame Cloak racial ability). Other than that, I'm really not a change person. I'm more of a tinkerer, so I didn't make the request. This is one I use personally and has been uploaded for other players who may have played older versions of Elder Scrolls, or who may want an alternative to the Dunmer Flame Cloak racial ability.

As far as consoles are concerned, this mod should theoretically work on any system capable of running the mod, as it only uses vanilla Skyrim assets (no DLC or custom assets required). And, before anyone asks, no, I won't be uploading this to Bethesda.net. If anyone uploads this to BethNet (or any other mod site), please give Somokon proper credit.

This will, in all likelihood, be the only version of Summon Ancestor Guardian released.

Beyond that, I'm not really much of a modder. I'm more of a tinkerer and as such, I don't do requests.
