Should one desire to usethis mod, an archive programme such as 7zip, Winrar, Winace, or Zip Genious should be used to extract/open the information/files herein.(Although, if you are reading this, then you already know how to do extract from archived files, so good for you :) ).Once extracted/opened, just drag and drop these onto the Morrowindfolder in your C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Data Files directory and they will go where they are meant to go (except the readme). All the files are placed inside folders as marked (become familiarwith manual installations, your game will thank you for it). You will then be prompted to overwrite.  Click yes/ok and the files should now beproperly installed.Files included in the Data Files folder of this mod:Textures FolderMeshes FolderWestly Presents_Exiles of Akavir.espWestly Presents_Exiles of Akavir_N.espWestly Presents_Exiles of Akavir README (which you are reading right now;) )*****************************************************************	PLAYING THE PLUGIN*****************************************************************From the Morrowind Launcher, select Data Files and check the box next to Westly Presents_Exiles of Akavir.esp (for the underwear version of the race)or the Westly Presents_Exiles of Akavir_N.esp (for the nvde version of the race)to activate the mod :D. Choose only the .esp that suits your style of play; do not run both at the same time.This plugin adds:-1 new Better Body race, the Nakan (with many head and hair options for both sixes)-Vampire Heads-78 Robe sets (Inspired by robe designs from the Eastern Asia)The Nan-Min Aka (Exiles of the Dragon), or the Nakan, are the decendants of exiledmen and women of the land of Akavir, sent to the outlying provinces before the riseof the Tsaesci.  While they have retained strong ties to one another and theiroriginal cultures, the Nakan have "blended" somewhat with the Nedic peoples, specifically Imperial colonials, over time establishing a new race of people.  While strongly tied to their Akavirian ancestors in appearance and inherent skills, the Nakan can not truly call themselves Men of Akavir, and wear their name of "Exile" with honor, rather than shame.  STR - 40INT - 35WIL - 35AGI - 40SPD - 40END - 40PER - 40LUC - 40Racial Bonuses:Acrobatics	10Light Armour	5Long Blade	10Speechcraft	5Hand-to-hand	10Blunt Weapon 	5The race also has a varied selection of "hand/fist" magics to best show their ties to the martial techniques and traditions passed to them by their ancestors.In addition to the race, there is a selection of robes available for purchase from a travelling merchant, Xian Chi; she can be found in "Vivec, The Flowers of Gold", in the Redoran Canton in Vivec.*****************************************************************	 Save Games*****************************************************************This plugin will not invalidate your old saved games. If you save your game while this plugin is loaded, you may encounter error messages when you reload the saved game without the plugin. But you will beable to continue on with the original game.*****************************************************************	  Changing the Face/Race of an Existing Character*****************************************************************To change the face/race of your existing character without startinga new game, open the console and type "enableracemenu". Choose yournew face and hair.Then, once you have changed your race, save yourgame and exit.  Then restart/relaunch your game and resume from thatsave.   Changing your race will cause temporary problems that should resolve themselves when you reload. Always save your game first in case of unpredictable errors and save afterwards in a new file.*****************************************************************	  Issues/Bugs/Mild Irritances*****************************************************************- the long hairs included in this mod will clip with the bodyduring certain animations. Without skinning/physiquing/weight-paintingthis is unaviodable, but worth the minor clip here and there for the character of your choice :D .- some of the hair meshes might not work exactly/perfectly with all of the head meshes/ear meshes, but I have done my best to rework them to work with the heads in an "overall" capacity so that there are plentyof choices should a wee bit of clipping be found annoying (though I have no problem with it :D ).  This holds true for only a handful of hairs, so no worries, as there are plenty from which to choose.- Many of the hair meshes use "alpha Channels", otherwise known as a layer in the texture that allows for transparencies, thus resultingin a more realistic "hair" quality without the need to model eachindividual hair.  This is fantastic for those that are looking for a more realistic look for their characters, however, it is known that in some instances the hairs will seem to disappear (such as castingan invisibility/chameleon spell. walking though a waterfall, or viewing the hair underwater [though I have personally never had the latter issues]).This is just a caveat, though not a big issue (so just a heads up if onemight think that they have mucked up their game when the hair seems to vanish; no worries as this is normal).*****************************************************************	  Credits & Usage*****************************************************************Original head models by Rhedd, remeshed by Robert, then altered further by Westly.Vampire Head meshes by Robert, reanimated and vampified by Fenrya13Selected Male Hair meshes by DarksharpShort "Ceasar" cut hair mesh by MylochkaHair meshes by RenFeatured Hair meshes by IDKRR from the Corean & Saram races for Oblivion (with special permission)Better Body meshes by Psychodog Studios:http://psychodogstudios.com/Female Better Body Robe Meshes by NiolivSakkat Helm mesh from Legato's Akaviri Resources (altered by Westly by adding hair to the hat)All textures by WestlyThank You! to Dave Humphrey for creating NifTextureThank you NifTools for NifSkopeThank you to the community for the continuing support.Thank you to AlienSlof for initally pointing me down the right paths when I first began making mods.Thank You Master Sam for encouraging me to complete this racefor use in his mod.Permissions = none just yet, as this mod is subject to my changing it at a whim, with new content and world support in the possible future :D.DO NOT REUPLOAD OR REDISTRIBTE THIS MOD ON OTHER MOD/FILESHARING SITES :D!Questions?

I have been on a month-long hiatus (give or take a few days), as my compy was "sick" and had to go to the shop for repairs.
This is a mod that I had hoped to have out at Christmas, but as events followed, it was postponed til I could get Compy all
patched up :) .

I hope that you enjoy the race and the robes :D !

Take Care :angel:


EDIT: As always, I welcome pics of how the mod is used in everyone's games (especially a few hair pics, as I did not get 'round to taking those, but trust me, there is a great number to choose from, albeit in a very limited colour capacity ;) ).

To err is human, to really [expletive] things up you need a computer. :P

I made a monk char (on my laptop) named Guan J'lon, http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y76/Caultus/GuanJlon.jpg

:twirl: Yay! :twirl:

Thank you, thank you! This is a gorgeous race, I have been eagerly awaiting it since you first posted screenshots. I am looking forward to trying them out.

:celebration:

Edit: And I'm glad to hear you got your computer up and running again. Nothing worse than being on a creative roll and having that sort of technical difficulty. :brokencomputer:

Ohhh wow... you just made a face I have been looking for for a loooong time!

May I start negotiations to use one of the male heads for something that MAY possibly see release in some form?

Oh yes, and THANKS for the lovely race!!

Which head, Kate?
This way, I can tailor it for your mod so that it is just what you need :)

I hope everyone is enjoying the mod, and look forward to either screens of your Nakan
characters, or other characters wearing the included robes :) .

Take Care, All :angel:

I feel you on that one :hugs: , I haven't been able to play Morrowind for more than five minutes since October and I can't even send it in until I go back to the US next week, and then who knows how long it'll have to be in for, or where I'll have to send it :(
