Hi since I liked a lot the weapon style of the extraneous in game of throne final season i toughtabout making one or two and insert of course in issgard but also release as a separate modder resource with one condition ... If usedit should somehow reference issgard in some way or another ... Likeperhaps coming from ... Orefrom... Mined from ... Buyed from or the like like "made in issgard" .... Tought of this as a sort of extra publicity and mod knowing expansion ... What do you think of this idea ? Worth ir I just place it in issgard only ?

Couple of things..

What does Stalhrim have to do with the Game of Thrones?

Also, use paragraphs. I'm sorry but I had troubles understanding what you said, paragraphs might help making your text appear clearer (not trolling, this is a friendly advice since my english used to be very poor as well, and it's still not even close to great, so I feel you ).

From what I understood, you're gonna make Stalhrim weapons for your mod, and you're trying to decide whether you should release them as a resource and demand that we reference to your mod or if you should make the weapons unique to Issgard?

Personally, I think that demanding to reference will turn a good portion of people away from using the weapons (I myself wouldn't mind it, I'd just call them Issgardian Longblade etc, but would probably try to agree on something good with you for the best idea) but it's indeed a good way to promote your mod.

Alternatively you could make them unique to your mod only until you release the mod completely finished. A lot of people do that, Morrowind modders mostly always release their mods with permission that once the mod is released in it's final version everything from it becomes a resource. You could name them all related to Issgard or some more specific place of your mod (but Issgard is probably better since the mod is called Issgard) in your mod already, and simply request that their names are never changed when used in personal projects.

3rd remember to make a good story. IIrc Stalhrim in Bloodmoon was never said to be unique to Solstheim so I'm not too sure why isn't it there in Skyrim, but if you find a good explanation it might be a great side story with a small questline or something. In any case at least make a book about it, don't just stick it in few random caves and around a smith or two without explaining anything. Just a suggestion. If I'm wrong and it is unique to Solstheim someone definitely correct me.

Hope this somewhat helped.

Game of throne season 2 final stage of the final episode you can see clearly an http://hotpopjunk.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/g2.jpg, probably other similar spears and swords are used by the http://401ak47.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/game-of-thrones-finale-white-walkers-army.pngthere ... I think it looked cool and reminded me of the stalhrim in bloodmoon ...

Stal - Steel

Rhim - Frost

in ancient norse at least , probably a combo of words made by Bethesda at the time ... could apply to anything that is as strong as ICe ... personally I woudl just use the raw item ( stalhrim raw material ) with a different name , like some kind of crystals from ice or snow , and the final product be the Stalhrim as it is a steel froged with this peculiar ice so a frosted steel somehow ...

My actual idea is that a special kind of crystal could be somehow harvested ( provided the necessary tools ) in some peculiar place in Issgard , with a no respawn ... while some other relics could lie around in Issgard ... also this woudl probably lead to a "remake" of http://www.google.it/imgres?um=1&hl=it&sa=N&biw=846&bih=430&tbm=isch&tbnid=VMit0wxbt59D3M:&imgrefurl=http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/File:TESV_Chillrend.png&docid=CBUau3Knuvnb8M&imgurl=http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120102102320/elderscrolls/images/archive/9/95/20120513092409!TESV_Chillrend.png&w=545&h=653&ei=RgrfT4H4G6z64QSQ3IGlCg&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=230&vpy=66&dur=963&hovh=246&hovw=205&tx=125&ty=158&sig=117908310491213606083&page=1&tbnh=105&tbnw=80&start=0&ndsp=10&ved=1t:429,r:1,s:0,i:74sword as separate replacement add on ... couse I found silly that "unique" weapons in Skyrim do look like every other weapon usually ...


as for type errors I am on mobile ....

I see, didn't watch (or read for that matter) the thing but it definitely resembles the Stalhrim materials. Well sounds great imo. Maybe a few good places could be tombs since that's what they used them for. It would be cool to see some frozen skeletons, would bring back memories.


Aah lol sorry, I feel stupid now.

Why modder's resource? Just release them as stand-alone weapons. They'll be in Issgard, too right? I think that's pretty cool, but then these weapons could pop up anywhere. Advertise Issgard through your own stand-alone weapons. I think it makes it feel unique. That's just my opinion.

Truly, if there's a person who isn't going to download and play Issgard, then that's their loss and they can Go Tackled Furry Orangutans.

Truly!

Lol thanks ....

I have done frozen skeletons ... le'ts see if I can post another Issgard spoiler ....
I also tought of Stalhrim encasemants for specific tombs eventually but honestly I have not understood the burial system of the nords , some seem to make tombs other burn ... it seems confused ... I gonna ask that on the lore section for answers ...

So, if I understand this correctly, you're already making the Stalhrim weapons for Issgard, but you are contemplating releasing it as a resource if someone will make it into a Game of Thrones reference?

I'm all for having Stalhrim weapons in my game (I missed them in Oblivion, and I miss them even more now that we're playing a game based entirely on the Nords), but I never use mods that reference other franchises (I wouldn't stick anything referencing Game of Thrones in Skyrim; it'd just annoy me in-game). I don't know if that helps you, but releasing modders' resources with conditions like that seems to get messy. If you don't want it used at all otherwise, I'd probably just make a request for someone to make the mod you're looking for.

This is all just my personal opinion, of course.

It has nothing to do with game of Thrones , I was just "reinshpired" by seeing that ....

Oh gotcha, you want it to reference Issgard. I completely misread your first post

Couple things.

Stahlrim was used to bury Nords that died fighting away from Skyrim. So while the weapons are fine there should not be any burials with frozen corpses in them. However if your mod is placed somewhere that could be considered not Skyrim then you are fine in terms of the Lore.

Secondly...Good effing idea! It is about time someone did a worthy rendition of Stahlrim. However as far as we know knowledge of forging Stahlrim is a near dead art and only the Skaal knew anything of it iirc. That does not mean someone cannot find the weapons and armor though. Remember there was a set of armor made form Stahlrim as well called Ice Armor. If someone wants to forge or upgrade the armor make a perk for it that is unlockable via reading a book of some sort. Possibly one written as the last memoirs or something of http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Bloodmoon:Aenar

Well if you guys can provide me all exhisting lore about Stalhrim I woudl be glad and try to follow it ...

as for the Solstheim uses , those are an isolated Nord prototype , not skyrim for sure , but Issgard is more akin to atmora ancestral lands and Skyrim ... they are far away but you can see them as a raiding kingdom , it has ships that reached all corners of tamriel and so knws a lot about the rest of the world tough still preserved their endependance in cultural traditions and politics ....

The Issgard region is a Kingdom and follows a way between the ancient totemic culture of Atmora and the more modern Pantheon of skyrim , they actually so worship the totemic aspects of the Pantheons and know exactly who is who in their cosmogony ....

As for The rythuals they shoudl have similar to the skyrim ones ,

Issgard was the first land that men colonized coming from Atmora , and was the base from wich start the invasion of Skyrim ...

For Stalhrim I tought that it wasn't linked to burials and similar , but considered a very precious ore to be protected ...

I do not plan any armor in stalhrim as the same concept looks silly to me , but weapons yes , they look cool ... but still very exclusive and rare , so that issgardians have issgardian swords and issgardian steel , the frosted steel is somehthing more pertinent to an elite ....

so there shouln't be a spam of stalhrim weapons ... perhaps some but really few ... the rest of the ore it may be used for other things perhaps ornamental? , perhaps symbolic? you say it ...

I found concepts of solstheim weapons http://www.imperial-library.info/content/bloodmoon-concept-arts tough they do not make me feel like wow ... Unless someone can post me some cool nordic weapons concepts I will go for a personal interpretation .... Eventually I could make issgardian swords in iron steel and stalhrim .... Perhaps sharing the same type of handle but different blade

You also need to make this Stalhrim mod compatible with other mods, so Porscha have a point when she suggesting as a stand alone armor/weapon mod if you plan to have both types included in the Stalhrim mod.
