Andril Reforged - Frequently Asked Questions
=============================================

Q: The sword/pedestal/powers/scroll/anything is not working properly!
---------------------------------------------------------------------
- You need OBSE 0019 or higher for this mod to work. Also make sure that Oblivion is patched to 1.2.0.416.
- A pirated copy of Oblivion currently in circulation has a bug that prevents many scripts from working.
- A small number of people (<0.1%) have a problematic Oblivion installation. This results in things like not being able to grab the sword, duping of swords and none of its functions working. Try putting Anduril Reforged last in your load order. As a last resort, try reinstalling Oblivion. This bug has been extensively tested and is not the fault of the mod.

Q: How do I make it 2-handed?
-----------------------------
You should have a lesser power called Andril technique. Casting this will let you change the way you use the sword. Make sure that Oblivion is patched to 1.2.0.416 and that OBSE 0019 is running. These are the usual reasons for the sword's functions not working properly.

Q: Where is the entrance to the vault?
--------------------------------------
The entrance is quite tricky to find because it is invisible until it is activated. It is a very short distance due East of the statue and the area has a clue to indicate that you're in the right spot. If you're stuck, you can download a picture showing the location from the Files section.

Q: I use the scroll and nothing happens!
----------------------------------------
Make sure you're in the right spot between the small statue and where the entrance should appear (download the spoiler file if you're not sure where that is). Merilnir's scroll needs to be used at midnight.

Q: The scroll disappaeared! How do I get another scroll?
--------------------------------------------------------
If you're not using OBSE 0019, the scroll will disappear when used. You'll need to install OBSE 0019 and roll back to a previous save.

Q: Where is the big statue? There's no quest marker!
----------------------------------------------------
Stand on the bridge outside Fort Entius and scan the horizon - it should be visible North-North-East of your position. There is also a map in Merilr's Journal. If you're unable to view distant objects, you can download a picture of the statue as seen from Fort Entius from the Files section.

Q: I've been to Fort Entius and got the book of quotes from mile but the quest doesn't update!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Did you retrieve the journal at Fort Entius? It's needed for the quest to update.

Q: Why do objects appear as a big yellow diamond with an exclamation mark in it?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It means that the meshes are missing. Make sure Anduril Reforged.bsa is in your (install folder)\Oblivion\Data\ directory.

Q: The light from the sword messes up my stealth.
-------------------------------------------------
Narsil was reforged for Aragorn to put aside the ranger and become who he was born to be, not for him to sneak around in the dark. Keep your sword sheathed until you are about to backstab the target.

Q: At what level do the side entrances open up?
-----------------------------------------------
A: They open at level 25. There are some good items with powerful enchantments inside, so that's why the level limit.

Infrequently Asked Questions
============================

Q: Does it work with Unique Landscapes - Entius Gorge?
------------------------------------------------------
Yes - 100% compatible

Q: Is the mod clean? Are the meshes optimised?
----------------------------------------------
Yes and yes. The mod was fully cleaned using TES4Edit and all meshes were optimised in NifSkope.

Q: What does the Sunder enchantment do?
---------------------------------------
Basically, it's a very powerful disintegrate armor spell with a "flash like flame" which only occurs with power attacks.

Q: How does the fear aura work?
-------------------------------
It works on playable races and goblins. Hostile targets in the vicinity have roughly a 50/50 chance of fleeing in terror. The chance is greater if you are higher level, or if their confidence is low. The reverse is also true.

Q: What are the sword's enchantments?
-------------------------------------
The powers are modelled after the books:

- "the sword of Elendil filled Orcs and Men with fear" 
Implemented as a lesser power affecting all hostile NPC's and goblins in the area. Affected enemies will flee in fear roughly half the time, modified by the level difference and confidence score. 

- "...for it shone with the light of the sun and of the moon..." 
Casts a red light in the daytime, a white one at night/indoors. 

- "...Anduril came down upon his helm. There was a flash like flame and the helm burst asunder." 
Implemented as a powerful disintegrate armor effect that activates during power attacks. Yes, there's a flash of fire. :) 

- "The blade that is drawn from this sheath shall not be stained or broken even in defeat" 
While Anduril will get damaged in combat, it will never break. 

- "Anduril rose and fell, gleaming with white fire." 
Reflective/glowing blade - bright enough to be noticeable, but not glaring like a lightsaber.
