Requirements:

- Latest version of http://skse.silverlock.org/
- EITHER http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/29624/? OR http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/37481/
- http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/14884/?


Description:

This mod adds a new katana to the game. What makes it unique is that the blade is animated. When sheathed, the blade remains folded up inside the hilt of the weapon. Then when you draw, the blade automatically springs out, ready for action. Think of it like a medieval Jedi Lightsaber

There is a small quest included to obtain the weapon in-game. There are four different vanilla NPC's who can potentially give you the quest. This is chosen automatically the first time the mod loads, depending what factions you are part of at the time. The following is a list of all the NPC's and their faction. The list is in order of priority, so if you are in more then one of these factions, then the one that comes higher is the one that will be chosen:

	Faction			NPC1.	Dark Brotherhood	Festus Krex2.	Blades			Esbern3.	Thieves Guild		Delvin Mallory4.	Neutral			Adrianne Avenicci

The quest is nothing to get excited about. Just a fetch and deliver quest pretty much. Once completed you'll receive the Katana and also unlock the ability to create more in the forge.

The katana is set up to be temper-able, the cost being 1 Dwemer Metal Ingot. It should also be enchant-able, the same as any other sword. It can only be equipped in the right hand. Finally, I haven't tested this yet, but in theory it has been set up to work for other NPC's not just the Player. So you should be able to give these to your followers.

This mod is currently marked as BETA. This is because I haven't settled on the sword's stats yet (currently they are just the same as the vanilla Akaviri blades) and also because I haven't been able to test out all four of the different quest givers. Once I have confirmation that everything is working as intended, I'll upload it to the Nexus as v1.0.
