Description
===========
A short and simple quest to obtain Hope's Fire.
Look for the dead scholar along the Red Road, near the Yellow Road to get the clue and enable the quest.
The sword / dagger is a very powerful weapon. I've set the stats to be what I think is the Oblivion
equivelant to Morrowind. You must defeat the holder of the weapon to gain possesion of it. He is nothing
special, but he will be your level and he DOES use weapon to defend himself.
(If you don't know the capabilities of the weapon, I suggest you find out before you take him on.)

Incompatibilities (Spoilers)
----------------------------
I've prepended the named of all the resources used to prevent conflicts with any mod that
also uses the IS / StarX Hope's Fire resources.

OBSE should not be needed as I only used vanilla scripting.


This mod may conflict with any mod the alters cell 16, 11.
Specifically the ruins of "All Things Alchemical" where I've placed a dead body.
Also, any mod that alters Shinbone Cave may be affected as well. I've added a door to
another room to the end of Shinbonecave02.
