DESCRIPTION:
===================================================================================================

Red Eagle's sword was a forgettable weapon in Skyrim, even with Requiem's improvements. The idea of
two variants was interesting, but poorly executed; compared against other weapons in Skyrim, there
was little reason to use either of these blades.

This mod makes Red Eagle's weapon more interesting by borrowing a mechanic from Quelaag's Furysword
in Dark Souls. Specifically, the base damage of Red Eagle's Fury is now only barely stronger than
your fists -- but the blade deals a whopping 115 fire damage on EACH strike, making it an excellent
choice against trolls and spriggans, but rendering it virtually useless against certain dragons and
fire-resistant enemies. Red Eagle's Fury can strike about 100 times before needing recharged.

Red Eagle's Bane, should you choose to craft it, has a much higher base damage (approaching that of
a Daedric sword, without armor penetration), at the cost of lower fire damage. This variant will
cause almost any undead foe to flee and plays toe-to-toe with Dawnbreaker, not including the damage
buffs and secondary effect of the latter. You won't need to recharge this variant nearly as often
as Red Eagle's Fury.

This mod only changes Red Eagle's Fury and and Red Eagle's Bane, and as such should be compatible
with most other mods.


REQUIREMENTS:

Skyrim Legendary Edition
Requiem 1.9.4 (will *probably* work with newer versions)
