Nicoroshi featuring original design by Brendan Olszowy of FableBlades.com

Reason for this mod:
_____________________

I was shown an image of the finest looking rapier I have ever seen by by good friend PhatBassAnchor.
It was called 'The Mariner' and created by the very talented Brendan Olszowy who is a swordsmith.
I wanted it in my game so reached out to Brendan for permissions to recreate his design as a 3D model for skyrim.
He liked the idea and said 'Yes'

What does this mod do:
_______________________

This mod places one Mariner sword and one Mariner dagger near the chest at the top of the spire in Shadowgreen Cavern.
These can also be crafted with ebony smithing perk and there are 4 different color variations available in the crafting menu.
Green (which can be found)
Black
Red
Purple

What are it's stats:
_____________________

Base damage and critial damage for both the sword and dagger match ebony stats for the respective weapon type.

All are slightly faster and weigh less than the ebony counterparts.

All can be crafted, upgraded, and enchanted.
