Sasana Follower - Early Release for Patrons (Patreon)

Update:  Don't forget to add the fix.  The Nexus release will have the fix included when I release it at a later date.

A Redguard's Redemption

To  trace the history of Sasana, you must first go back many generations  ago, to the continent of Yokudo, and the city of Hammerfell.  Therein  lived a Redguard warrior woman of peerless skill who had risen up from  the ranks of a lowly peasant to captain of the King's guard. The King's  enemies despised the warrior woman and went to great lengths to separate  her from the King. A enemy necromancer summoned demonic Dremora to slay  the woman. Cornered, she managed to kill all the Dremora sent against  her except one.  The final Dremora was a prince among his kind.  He  captured and abused the warrior, leaving her to die in the streets of  Hammerfell.  She survived the assault but fled the city in disgrace.   Not long after, she discovered she was with child.  After she bore the  girl child she abandoned the infant at a temple.

The priests who  found the child were instantly troubled.  It was clear this was no  normal child.  Unsure of how to handle the situation, the priests  decided to enlist the aid of a local mage.  They soon discovered the  child was born with certain powers that were demonic in nature.  Rather  than slay the infant outright, they decided to weaponize her against  their own enemies.  They raised the child and trained her in the art of  magic and archery.  When the child became a woman, she escaped the  temple and followed her demonic nature, terrorizing the continent.  She  too bore a child and the bloodline continued after that in a similar  cycle, with each child a little less corrupted by the blood and nature  of the original demonic father.

Sasana was born from this  bloodline twenty-four years ago.  As she grew older, she learned pieces  of her family's past and grew determined to make a change.  She vowed to  overcome her Dremoran blood and redeem her family in the eyes of the  gods.  She would use the tainted-blood for good.  She trained from a  very young age in magic and archery.  She became an enemy of all evil,  but especially demons and the undead.  She traveled to Skyrim after  hearing about the threat of dragons reborn.  As she reached Morthal, she  discovered something strange going on in the town and was determined to  find the cause.

Future Plans for This ModMy  intention is to release a quest and more voice lines for this mod.  If I  can find a voice actress, perhaps even going that route.  I decided to  release Sasana as is until I get that done because certain people in  Discord who shall not be named but are known to have nine tails and  break their load order constantly wanted this follower very badly.Phase 1:  Initial Release (complete)Phase 2:  Quest design and script writing (in progress)Phase 3:  Voice design and mod adjustment (not started)Phase 4:  Custom voice mod Release (not started)Phase ?:  Just in my dreams...
